Thursday, September 17, 2009

News: Matsuzaka has been named to start Sunday's game in Baltimore, the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis: Matsuzaka returned to Boston's rotation on Tuesday, pitching six scoreless innings against the Angels.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

News: Matsuzaka held the Angels scoreless in six innings and scattered three hits with five strikeouts.

Analysis: It was a solid start for Matsuzaka and the opponent should be taken into account, too. As long as he stays healthy he should finish the season in the rotation. He should be available in a lot of leagues right now, so it would be important to hit the wires quickly as the buzz over the start should get around quickly.
