Daisuke Matsuzaka did not tell the Red Sox that he had injured his inner thigh before spring training last season. He made the acknowledgment in an interview with the Japanese media. He took anti-inflammatory medication and pitched through the pain but the results told the story.
Dice-K is spending this offseason working out in Arizona and is doing well according to his agent Scott Boras:
“His conditioning is focused on his core. The fact he’s there should say the acclimation is becoming a little more complete, a little more designed around what he has to do, and the fact that he wants to get back to a level where his talent wants him to be. I’m very encouraged that he’s willing to make the commitment.”
