The Boston Red Sox Daisuke Matsuzaka has almost been forgotten in Boston this year.  Dice-K has been on the disabled list for three months and the Red Sox have sorely missed the right hander who went 18-3 for them last year.  Dice-K is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels.  In an injury riddled year, he has gone 1-5 with a 8.23 ERA in eight starts before going on the DL.  Other than Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz the Red Sox rotation is very shaky, so the addition of Dice-K will be a much needed one.  The Red Sox are two games up on the Texas Rangers in the wild card and take on the Tampa Bay Rays at 7:10 pm ET at home tonight.

The Red Sox have sent John Lester to the minors but he will likely return to regain his starting job next week with the Red Sox when rosters expand.

The Red Sox have signed shortstop Royce Clayton to a minor league contract.

The Red Sox were probably screaming “Yahtzee” when they found out that Chris Carter was the player to be named later for Wily Mo Pena.

The Boston Red Sox have ridded themselves of Wily Mo Pena by trading him + cash to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later.
