Red Sox RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka expected to start Saturday against Washington – The Washington Post

BOSTON — Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka is expected to start Saturday against the Washington Nationals, one day short of a year after he had reconstructive elbow surgery.

Boston manager Bobby Valentine told the media of Matsuzaka’s scheduled start before Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.

“He was in today. Says he feels fine. He’ll be, unless something changes, we’ll try to activate him, pitch him on Saturday,” Valentine said. “Obviously, we’ll wait till that date comes around.”

Matsuzaka had Tommy John surgery last June 10. He made eight rehab starts and will replace right-hander Daniel Bard, sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday.  Matsuzaka was 0-2 with a 3.37 ERA in his six rehab starts for Pawtucket.
