News: Boston right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, sidelined earlier this month by a sore shoulder, threw 47 pain-free pitches Wednesday and is set for another bullpen session this weekend. The Red Sox hope to target Matsuzaka's return date after Saturday's workout. "I have no discomfort when it comes to throwing the ball," Matsuzaka said through an interpreter. "It's been awhile since I've thrown off a mound, so there were times when my command wasn't quite there. On the other hand, I felt I could put a lot on the ball and the shoulder itself feels great." Matsuzaka has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 15. If all goes well Saturday, Matsuzaka could soon begin a rehab assignment. [...]

1) All quiet on the Red Sox front. The home clubhouse at the Red Sox's City of Palms Park has been an unusually quiet place so far this spring, due largely to the World Baseball Classic. An MLB-high 15 members of the organization (both major and minor leaguers) played in the WBC for 11 different nations. The missing players include the presumptive two through five hitters in the batting order -- Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and Jason Bay -- plus Daisuke Matsuzaka. "Some of our personality's not here right now, missing David and Petey and Youk and Jason," catcher Jason Varitek said.

The Red Sox are easing Matsuzaka back into a throwing program, a week after the Japanese righty was placed on the 15-day DL with a mild right shoulder strain.

News: Daisuke Matsuzaka made about 30 throws at a distance of roughly 60 feet Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He might long toss this weekend. "I think it's too early to project an end date in which he returns here," pitching coach John Farrell told MLB.com. "We'll take every necessary step to make sure that when he does return, he's had the time to not only let the inflammation calm down, and rebuild the strength, but also have adequate reps on a Minor League rehab assignment, which we envision taking place. How many starts is yet to be determined." Matsuzaka said he doesn't have another right rotator cuff strain that shelved him for three weeks last season. "What's big is unlike last year, I didn't hurt anything," Matsuzaka told Japanese reporters. "That is huge for trying to come back." [...]

The announcement comes one day after Matsuzaka lasted one inning
The announcement comes one day after Matsuzaka lasted one inning before being removed with what was described as right arm fatigue. Boston manager Terry Francona said that Matsuzaka will get looked at by the team's medical staff on April 17 before the team decides what course of action to take with his rehab. The Red Sox recalled left-hander Hunter Jones from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Matsuzaka's spot on the roster. As for who takes Matsuzaka's spot in the rotation, reliever Justin Masterson is a strong possibility. Masterson was stretched out during Spring Training and fired four shutout innings in relief of Matsuzaka on Tuesday.

Matsuzaka didn't make it to the second inning Tuesday night against the Oakland Athletics, giving up five runs and five hits on 43 pitches. The Japanese star won three games while winning the MVP award at the World Baseball Classic this spring, but Boston manager Terry Francona thinks the extra work has caused trouble early in the regular season. Matsuzaka was 18-3 last year, but is 0-1 with a 12.79 ERA this season. After Tuesday's game, the Red Sox said Matsuzaka has "arm fatigue."

Matsuzaka threw 43 pitches, only 22 of which were strikes. After being staked with a 3-0 lead before even throwing a pitch, Matsuzaka gave up five hits and five runs in that one inning, walking two and striking out none. He faced 10 batters. During much of Spring Training, manager Terry Francona often said that there was concern that Matsuzaka and the Red Sox might eventually pay the price down the road for the righty pitching in the World Baseball Classic. Matsuzaka started three games in helping Team Japan defend its title, winning the Most Valuable Player Award in the event. Tuesday's game was Matsuzaka's second start of the season. He wasn't particularly impressive in the first one, giving up nine hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stay tuned for an update on Dice-K's condition.

With a crowd of 38,695 milling through the stands on a blustery afternoon, the fresh sod was as littered with wrappers as Shea used to be from 1964 through last year.

Once the game began, the wind didn't affect me as much. What affected me more was the trash on the field." [...]
