Dice-K to being strength training: Boston right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka will be going to Florida on Monday to begin a strengthening program that the Red Sox hope will get him back to the big leagues later this season. Red Sox manager Terry Francona said there was no timetable for his return. Francona also isn't sure how long Matsuzaka will be in Fort Myers, the team's spring training home.
(Updated 07/03/2009).

Injury Report

Shoulder - 15-day DL. Out until at least late July
(Updated - 6/21/09)

Fantasy Analysis

Matsuzaka was 1-5 with an 8.23 ERA and an opponents' batting average of .378 before going on the disabled list June 21. He's been out with a shoulder strain, and the Red Sox have said he hasn't been right since helping Japan win the World Baseball Classic. The Japanese star was 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA and a major league-best .211 batting average against last season and is worth stashing in all leagues in the hopes he can regain that form.
