Daisuke Matsuzaka was scheduled to pitch BP today but that did not happen most likely due to continued back problems. He did some work in the bullpen (19 pitches) but is nowhere near ready to join the rotation. With Buchholz and Wakefield looking good the Red Sox can take their time with Dice-K.
Jed Lowrie has missed several days due to an “accelerated heartbeat” and underwent a stress test today:
“When that comes back and they clear him, he can do activities again. But there’s certainly a battery of tests that they’ll do – blood work, things like that, today, just to eliminate any whatever, but once he’s through that stress test he can come back and start doing physical activities,” Francona said
