MLB Today: Price to make Jays debut; Burnett to visit doctor

A look at what's happening all around the major leagues Monday:

PRICE DEBUT

David Price (9-4) makes his Toronto debut as the Blue Jays begin a pivotal series against wild-card rivals the Minnesota Twins. Price is 7-0 with a 3.86 ERA in nine career starts at Rogers Centre. His opponent will be Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (2-1).

BURNETT VISITS DOCTOR

Pittsburgh Pirates starter A.J. Burnett could find out if his troublesome elbow is going to put an end to his 17-year career a couple of months early. Burnett went on the DL Thursday and has said he will not have surgery if it's required to pitch again.

CENTRALLY SPEAKING

The Chicago Cubs are 10 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2008 season when they were 97-64, according to STATS. They take that record into a series against the NL Central rival Pirates. Chicago's Jon Lester (6-8) is coming off a 14-strikeout performance on July 29.

KIPNIS' SHOULDER

Cleveland Indians All-Star Jason Kipnis could be headed to the DL with a sore shoulder. Cleveland management will meet to discuss a plan for the second baseman.

FOR TEXAS

Texas Rangers right-hander Colby Lewis has won three straight starts since the All-Star break. He takes on Lance McCullers and the Houston Astros in the opener of an all-Texas series.
