The Boston Red Sox are confident that David Price will recover from the elbow injury that has sidelined him this spring, but it seems as though he won't return to action until May at the earliest.

"I think he'll be fine based upon what the doctors have told me, what David feels," Dave Dombrowski said. "We got to take our time. You don't ever want to rush that. I'm sure that we could have pushed him a little bit further at this point even quicker. I think he'll be fine. And I think that he'll be a good pitcher."

"I think part of the thing that he did, to me, probably what happened is, which is unfortunate but it did, he did some winter time work this year, which was discussed with him which he did great, some pilates and all that type stuff. Really loosened up his hip. His delivery was free and easy. Probably overdid it a little bit that one day (he was hurt). But he was throwing hard earlier, but that’d be my instinct.

"He was getting out there and it probably irritated him a little bit at that point. Nobody knows for sure, I don't really know what happened. I know he was throwing well all spring. I think he'll be fine."
