Rays manager Joe Maddon announced the news before Friday nights game with Detroit, saying the team feels "pretty strongly" that the left-hander is ready to return from a strained left triceps. "Theres no reason to have him throw those 90 pitches (in the minors)," Maddon said. "He was adamant that he feels great. The medical staff feels good about it." Price went on the disabled list for the first time in his career May 16. He made two minor league rehab starts with Class A Charlotte. "I feel good ....dddddddddddd Im ready to go," Price said. "Im pretty excited. Its good to be part of the team again. Its been quite a while, and Im ready to get back out there." Price struggled this year before getting hurt, going 1-4 with a 5.24 ERA. He was 20-5 with a 2.56 ERA last season. "Just go out there and really almost start all over again," Maddon said.
