Rays placed LHP David Price on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left triceps muscle.
Price suffered the injury Wednesday night in his start against the Red Sox. An MRI taken shortly after his exit showed no major damage and the Rays are optimistic that he will only miss a few turns in the rotation, but nothing is certain quite yet. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer are the primary candidates to replace Price. May 16 - 3:09 PM

David Price - S - Rays

Rays manager Joe Maddon said an MRI on David Price's left triceps showed "nothing serious," but he added that the lefty would likely miss at least one start.

"Nothing serious but we'll make a better call tomorrow," the manager said after Wednesday's game. While the MRI coming back relatively clean is obviously good news, it still seems likely that Price is headed for a stint on the disabled list. The Rays will decide Thursday who will replace Price next Monday. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer are the likely options.

David Price left Wednesday's start against the Red Sox in the third inning with left triceps tightness.

Not good. The Rays will provide an update on Price's status after the game, and he'll likely need a trip to the disabled list. The left-hander was charged with four runs on five hits and a walk over 2 1/3 frames before exiting. Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi would be options to replace him in the rotation if Price does indeed need a DL stint.

David Price left Wednesday's start against the Red Sox in the third inning with an apparent injury.

The Rays should give an update on his status soon. Price gave up two runs on five hits and a walk over 2 1/3 innings and left with two runners on base before exiting.

David Price allowed four runs -- two earned -- in eight innings Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Price's ERA dropped from 6.25 to 4.78 today. If that seems excessive based on eight solid innings, it's because he also benefited from a scoring decision that changed five of his nine earned runs from his May 4 outings into unearned runs. Anyway, Price showed good velocity and struck out eight tonight. He seems to be on the way back.

David Price allowed three runs in eight innings as the Rays lost to the Yankees on Tuesday.

Price was serviceable but the offense couldn't get him his first win of the year. The 27-year-old has rotated good and bad starts, but he's still not the ace we're used to seeing on a game-in, game-out basis. Price now owns a 5.52 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through five starts. He'll try again Sunday against the White Sox.

David Price - S - Rays

David Price gave up five runs over six-plus innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Orioles.

Price struck out six and walked none. He was pulled after giving up a leadoff double to J.J. Hardy to begin the bottom of the seventh. Jake McGee then served up a two-run homer to Steve Pearce to allow the inherited runner to score and close the book on Price's night. The 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner now has a 6.26 ERA through four starts and is still in search of his first win. The Rays aren't providing much offense in the early going, but there's nowhere to go but up for Price.

David Price allowed one run in six innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Red Sox.

The only run scored on a solo homer by David Ross in the fifth inning. While he didn't get the victory, he notched eight strikeouts. The southpaw had just seven strikeouts combined over his first two starts. While the 2012 AL Cy Young Award is winless through his first three starts, there's reason for optimism going into a matchup against the Orioles next Thursday.

David Price - S - Rays

David Price was shelled for eight earned runs over five innings Sunday in a loss to the Indians.

Price had difficulty from start to finish, yielding 10 hits -- including three home runs -- while walking three. He's now 0-1 with an 8.18 ERA and 2.00 WHIP through two starts this season. The ace left-hander will try to get on track later this week against the Red Sox.

David Price - S - Rays

David Price yielded two runs in six innings Tuesday against the Orioles.

Price rebounded after Matt Wieters' two-run homer in the first, though he never seemed particularly sharp on the mound today. He ended up allowing seven hits, walking two and striking out four.
Apr 2 - 6:24 PM
David Price - S - Rays

David Price pitched well Thursday in his final tune-up before Opening Day, holding the Orioles scoreless over four innings.

He permitted one hit and one walk while striking out three. Price looked like a reigning Cy Young winner during Grapefruit League play, posting a 2.12 ERA while striking out 20 over 17 innings. He'll be a fantasy ace again in 2013.
Mar 28 - 9:26 PM
David Price - S - Rays

David Price will start Opening Day for the Rays on April 2 against the Orioles.

An obvious choice after Price won the AL Cy Young Award last season behind a 2.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 205/59 K/BB ratio in 211 innings. This will be the second Opening Day assignment of his career.

David Price allowed two runs and eight hits over four innings Friday in a victory over the Phillies.

Price can thank right fielder Matt Joyce, who recorded outfield assists at home and third in the game. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in eight innings.
Mar 8 - 4:26 PM
David Price - S - Rays

David Price fanned five in three scoreless innings Sunday as the Rays beat the Twins 7-2.

Price would have looked good in Team USA's rotation this week, but no WBC for him. He's yet to allow a run in four innings this spring.
Mar 3 - 5:01 PM
David Price - S - Rays

David Price said Thursday that he hasn't ruled out the Yankees as a possibility if he becomes a free agent.

Price told FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi earlier this week that he wouldn't sign a long-term deal with the Yankees because of their facial hair policy, but he quickly backtracked after hearing it from fans on Twitter (and likely from his agent, as well). And so, we can officially put that silly controversy in the rear view mirror.
