Tampa Bay Rays' Joaquin Benoit(notes) delivers a pitch against the Boston Red Sox during the fourth inning of a spring training baseball game at City of Palms Park in Fort Myers, Fla., on Wednesday, March 10, 2010. The Rays defeated the Red Sox 8-6.

Tampa Bay Rays prized left-hander David Price, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft, left Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the second inning after being hit on the right hand by the barrel of a shattered bat. According to Rays team spokesman Rick Vaughn, Price had an abrasion on his right thumb and will not need stitches.
