Matsuzaka (elbow) tossed three scoreless innings, scattering one hit and three walks with one strikeout, in Thursday's loss to the Nationals. A bout of elbow inflammation cost Matsuzaka close to two weeks, but he returned Thursday and ate three innings after starter Bartolo Colon was driven from the game early. Look for Matsuzaka to continue serving as a long man out of the bullpen over the remainder of the season.
