Boston Red Sox LHP David Price placed on disabled list with left elbow strain

Boston Red Sox left-hander David Price was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday.

Price has been dealing with a left elbow strain for the past month. The 31-year-old has been participating in some baseball activities and has thrown from 75-to-90 feet recently.

The team has not divulged a timetable for the return of Price, who is the second left-hander in the starting rotation to be sidelined. Boston placed Drew Pomeranz on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with a left forearm flexor strain.

In 2016, Price posted a 17-9 record with a 3.99 ERA and 228 strikeouts over 230 innings -- his first year of a seven-year, $217 million contract with the Red Sox.

The Red Sox also placed left-hander Roenis Elias (right oblique strain), infielder Josh Rutledge (left hamstring strain) and right-handers Carson Smith (recovering from Tommy John surgery) and Tyler Thornburg (right shoulder impingement) on the 10-day disabled list Saturday.
