Matsuzaka met with the team last Friday and is continuing his conditioning at Boston's spring-training complex in Fort Myers, Fla. Dice-K expressed his concern to a Japanese newspaper, and news of the interview broke in Boston on Tuesday.
Sep. 15 4:18 PM PT5:18 PM MT6:18 PM CT7:18 PM ET12:18 AM GMT8:18 AM 北京时间-According to the Boston Globe, Matsuzaka will pitch for the Red Sox on Tuesday in his first major league action since June 19.
Analysis: Matsuzaka, an 18-game winner last season, has been on the disabled list since June 21 with a right shoulder strain. He allowed a pair of solo homers in 4 1-3 innings during a rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, then pitched effectively against Single A competition Wednesday.

Matsuzaka is 1-5 with an 8.23 ERA after giving up six runs on Friday night and failing to get an out in the fifth inning. He was 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA last season, the Japanese star's second after joining the Red Sox.

Analysis: Matsuzaka fell to 1-5 with an 8.23 ERA in eight starts this year. With John Smoltz due for his first start next Thursday after six rehab outings, Matsuzaka could be the odd man out. "If I keep going like this, I have no right to be a part of this rotation," he said.
Jun. 14 1:15 PM PT2:15 PM MT3:15 PM CT4:15 PM ET9:15 PM GMT5:15 AM 北京时间-Matsuzaka allowed four runs and seven hits in four innings but the Red Sox's offense took charge in an 11-6 win at Philadelphia on Saturday.

Jun. 8 1:01 PM PT2:01 PM MT3:01 PM CT4:01 PM ET9:01 PM GMT5:01 AM 北京时间-Matsuzaka gave up 10 hits and five runs in 5 2-3 innings for Boston in a 6-3 loss to Texas on Sunday.
Analysis: He struck out eight and didn't walk a batter - a promising development. But he still wasn't very good, often missing over the middle of the plate as the Texas hitters teed off. His ERA swelled to 7.33, not what the Red Sox were hoping for when they paid more than $50 million just to negotiate with him.
Jun. 3 9:48 AM PT10:48 AM MT11:48 AM CT12:48 PM ET5:48 PM GMT1:48 AM 北京时间-Matsuzaka allowed one run in five innings to get his first win of the year as the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Tuesday.
Analysis: Matsuzaka came into the game with a 8.82 ERA in four starts, but allowed just one run on six hits with three walks as his teammates turned three double plays behind him.

May 23 11:27 AM PT12:27 PM MT1:27 PM CT2:27 PM ET7:27 PM GMT3:27 AM 北京时间-Matsuzaka was activated Friday after going on the disabled list April 15 following two poor outings. He gave up four runs in five innings of Boston's 5-3 loss to the New York Mets.
Analysis: It wasn't the best outing for Matsuzaka, but at least he only needed 80 pitches to get through five innings. Efficiency has been a major problem for the right-hander at times, but he appeared more eager to go after hitters on Friday.
May 22 8:54 AM PT9:54 AM MT10:54 AM CT11:54 AM ET4:54 PM GMT12:54 AM 北京时间-Matsuzaka made his third rehab start with Pawtucket Friday night in Toledo and gave up two runs on three hits and struck out nine in five innings.
Analysis: If Matsuzaka went on his normal rest, he could start for the Red Sox next Friday against the New York Mets at Fenway Park or be activated later that weekend. "Yeah, I think you can pretty much expect him to pitch," Boston manger Terry Francona said. Matsuzaka has been on the disabled list since April 15 with a shoulder strain. Francona and the front office would prefer to wait before announcing whose spot in the rotation Matsuzaka would take.
