Via Twitter, Amalie Benjamin (or as the FOXSports announcers would have you believe, ‘Molly’ Benjamin) says that Daisuke Matsuzaka will make another rehab assignment Wednesday — the location to be determined.
The Dice Man started for Pawtucket on Saturday and was not pleased with his breaking ball command. Sox officials said they hoped to squeeze one more minor league start out of Matsuzaka.
After the start, Dice-K will rejoin the BoSox. It remains to be seen who he will replace in the rotation. The two candidates are obviously Paul Byrd and Tim Wakefield. My guess? Wakefield looks like he’s still hurting a ton, so they’ll give Wakefield a breather and work Matsuzaka in. What say you?
