Red Sox’s Matsuzaka ‘shocked’ he needs elbow surgery | |
Associated Press June 5, 2011, 6:30 p.m.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka is preparing for surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right elbow. Matsuzaka spoke Sunday for the first time since the Red Sox put him on the 60-day disabled list so he can have Tommy John surgery, probably this week. “It’s my first time to get an operation, and all I can say is I’m very shocked when it comes to this result,” Matsuzaka said through an interpreter. “I was told the ligament is torn and to fix it perfectly I need to have surgery.” Matsuzaka is in the fifth year of a six-year deal he signed when Boston brought him over from Japan. With a recovery time of 12 to 14 months, his future with the Red Sox is uncertain. “I don’t think of it that way. I hope I come back to the game again in a Red Sox uniform,” he said. Matsuzaka was 18-3 with a 2.90 earned-run average in his first season with the Red Sox, who paid $51.1 million for negotiating rights to the Seibu Lions before signing him to a $52-million deal. White Sox activate Teahen The Chicago White Sox activated third baseman Mark Teahen from the 15-day disabled list and designated right-hander reliever Jeff Marquez for assignment. Teahen was out because of a strained muscle on his right side. He is batting .226 with one home run and four RBIs in 24 games. He was six for 31 in eight games with triple-A Charlotte (N.C.) on his rehabilitation assignment. He has been playing a reserve role for the White Sox, filling in at third base, first base, and right and left field.
