BOSTON -- Red Sox manager John Farrell would like to use David Price Wednesday vs. the Blue Jays.

Toronto and Boston play their series finale at 7:10 p.m. Rick Porcello is starting for Boston.

Price has pitched just twice since returning from the DL in a relief role. He hurled 2 scoreless innings Sept. 17 at Tampa Bay and 2 2/3 scoreless innings Sept. 22 at Cincinnati.

"He's been available the last couple of nights," Farrell said.

With just five games remaining in the regular season and the postseason one week away, Farrell must figure how Price handles less rest and how he bounces back on the second day of consecutive outings.

"As it relates to how frequently he can be used, I'm confident he can go on back-to-back days if day one is within reason," Farrell said. "Just like every other pitcher."

If Porcello goes deep today, Farrell wouldn't use Price in the closer role just because of the need for him to pitch.

"If it's a three run lead or less, that's Craig Kimbrel," Farrell said. "That's not going to change."
