David Price threw off a mound to a standing catcher on Wednesday for the first time since he woke up with a stiff arm following a Feb. 28 bullpen session.

"Got on the mound for an additional 25 throws, not with the catcher down, just more for David to feel the slope of the mound under his feet, to throw the ball downhill a little bit more," John Farrell said. "The most encouraging thing is each throwing session he goes through, he comes out feeling good physically. And we’ll look to do the same tomorrow with maybe a little bit more distance to the long toss.

"I think it's important to categorize it as, it was not to the catcher -- just to feel the slope under his feet."

Price played long toss at Fenway Park from 100 feet as well. The Red Sox previously said Price needed to get out to 120-150 feet before throwing off the mound.
