Red Soax David Price left his start against Miami Marlins after wrist injury

Boston Red Sox left-hander David Price left his start against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday after suffering a left wrist contusion when he was struck by a line drive.

The Red Sox announced X-rays on Price's wrist were negative and that he would undergo further testing.

Price was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Marlins left fielder Austin Dean to end the third inning. He got the out at first on the play but immediately went to the clubhouse and did not return for the top of the fourth.

Price allowed three runs on five hits in the outing, striking out three. Hector Velazquez took the mound in his place with the Red Sox trailing 3-2.

Boston went on to win the game, 14-6.

Price, who turned 33 on Sunday, entered the day 14-6 with a 3.50 ERA in 25 starts this season. The Red Sox currently have fellow southpaw starters Chris Sale (shoulder) and Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) on the disabled list, along with knuckleballer Steven Wright (knee).
