"A slight disruption in routine is apparently LHP David Price's only lingering issue from being struck in the chest by a line drive Sunday.

Price said he was no longer sore, and he lifted his shirt to show that what had been a nasty bruise featuring the laces of the baseball was down to a few red dots. Most important for the Rays, he said he was set to make his next start as scheduled on Friday.

"It was just more scary than anything else, I'm sure," Price said. "I'm all good now."

Price normally would have thrown his between-starts bullpen session Tuesday. But since he didn't do any postgame arm exercises Sunday (he was the hospital getting a CAT scan, EKG and a series of X-rays) and didn't play catch Monday, he pushed it back to today and will lighten the workload.

"I can tell you right now, I'm fine," he said.

Manager Joe Maddon said all parties — including head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield and pitching coach Jim Hickey — were confident Price would be okay."
