Daisuke Matsuzaka (oblique) is expected to be activated from the disabled list with Triple-A Columbus in 2-4 weeks.

Matsuzaka has been out since April 28, but the Indians believe he'l be pitching again ''in weeks, not months.'' In five Triple-A starts, Matsuzaka has a 24/18 K/BB ratio and 3.92 ERA. If he can show that he's healthy, Matsuzaka could be an option for the Indians' rotation at some point this season.

Daisuke Matsuzaka has been placed on the 7-day disabled list with Triple-A Columbus due to an abdominal strain.

Matsuzaka has a 3.92 ERA and 24/18 K/BB ratio in 20 2/3 innings through five starts with the Clippers. The veteran right-hander has really struggled with his control and has also dealt with pain in his forearm.

Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed two runs on two hits and eight walks over four innings in a start for Triple-A Columbus Thursday.

He also threw a wild pitch. Matsuzaka left his previous outing with pain in his right forearm. It doesn't appear that the forearm is bothering him anymore, but the wildness is obviously not an encouraging sign.

Daisuke Matsuzaka left Friday's start at Triple-A Columbus with pain in his right forearm.

It's not clear at this time how long he'll be sidelined. With Scot Kazmir nearing a return and Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco and Corey Kluber in the Triple-A rotation, Dice-K is pretty far down the pecking order at this point.

Indians re-signed RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka to a minor league contract.

An expected move, as Dice-K is expected to report to Triple-A Columbus. The 32-year-old could make his way into the starting rotation at some point, but the Indians have plenty of options.

Indians released RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Matsuzaka didn't make the Indians' Opening Day roster and has been granted his release. He posted a 2.25 ERA over eight innings this spring in the Cactus League and will try to avoid being sent to the minors now that he's a free agent.

Daisuke Matsuzaka will report to Triple-A Columbus.

Dice-K was allowed to head back to the free agent market, but he has opted to remain in the Indians organization and will try to climb his way up to Cleveland this season. The 32-year-old right-hander signed a minor league contract with the Indians in early February.
