David Price left Wednesday night's start against the New York Yankees after just one inning because of numbness in his left hand.

Price, who gave up four runs in the inning, believes he avoided serious injury. He hopes to play catch on Thursday and plans to make his next start.

"My hand never really warmed up," the left-hander said. "My arm felt fine. My arm felt really good. I had no clue where [the ball] was going."

Price missed most of last season with the Boston Red Sox because of elbow and forearm injuries.

"We don't know if it was the cold weather or if there was an issue there, but he couldn't grip the ball," Alex Cora said. "He felt it early in the inning or halfway through the inning. You saw the fastball command. We've been praising him about hitting his spots and he didn't."
