Dice-K goes to DL with rotator strain
With no structural damage, righty should return by mid-June

松阪因旋轉肌拉傷而進15天傷兵名單，
沒有結構性的大傷害，預計在6月中回到輪值。

BALTIMORE --

First, the Red Sox breathed a sigh of relief. Then on Friday they went
through the procedure of placing unbeaten starter Daisuke Matsuzaka
on the 15-day disabled list -- retroactive to Wednesday -- with a mild
strain of his right rotator cuff. An MRI performed on Matsuzaka on Friday
in Boston revealed no structural damage. The Red Sox are optimistic that
Matsuzaka will be able to pitch right around the time he's eligible to
come off the DL, which is June 12.

巴爾的摩訊--

首先，紅襪可以鬆一口氣了。
紅襪將松阪放進15天的傷兵名單，從上週三開始算起。

附註：15天傷兵名單最多可以追溯10天，這次松阪回溯3天。

松阪大輔在星期五進行核磁共振顯示並無大礙，
紅襪樂觀表示松阪離開DL時（6月12日）一定可以投球。

"There was no structural changes, which is really good news," said Red
Sox manager Terry Francona. "The final diagnosis is a mild deltoid rotator
cuff strain. The best way we can see to attack this is, we'll DL him,
take the time down, strengthen, get him ready to pitch the rest of the
season. That's kind of where we are."

粉柯南說：「沒有結構性的大礙，這是個好消息。」
「最後的診斷結果是肩膀部位三角旋轉肌有輕微拉傷。我們將他放進15天DL名單，
這段下放的時間，他可以更健康，讓他投完剩下的球季。這是我們所希望的。」

附註：肌肉常見的傷有Sprain以及Strain兩種。
Sprain 扭傷韌帶由於受傷或肌肉的拉扯，所受到的傷害。
Strain 拉傷由於肌肉過度使用所造成的受傷。

◎ 所謂的投手癌症是肩膀關節唇撕裂傷(SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior)，
     跟維尼的rotator strain(旋轉肌拉傷)完全不同。

To replace Matsuzaka on the roster, the Red Sox purchased the contract
of first baseman/outfielder Jeff Bailey from Triple-A Pawtucket. However,
Bailey is likely to be sent back down on Tuesday,
when Boston needs a starter to replace Matsuzaka in the rotation.

由於松阪將暫時從輪值名單離開，紅襪從3A小聯盟Pawtucket簽進一壘/外野手Jeff Bailey，
但是Bailey很有可能在星期四又送回3A。
因為紅襪需要一名先發來取代松阪的輪值。

Although the club is choosing not to tip its hand, it is likely that top
prospect Justin Masterson will be promoted
for the third time this season to fill in for Matsuzaka.
Masterson has already made two spot starts for the Sox, going 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA.

球團很可能是拉頂級新秀Justin Masterson上來取代。
這是這一季Justin Masterson第三次取代松阪上來輪值。
Justin Masterson已經有兩次優秀的先發，成績是1勝0敗，ERA為1.46。

Thanks to the off-day on Thursday, the Red Sox had the flexibility to
pitch knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in the finale of this four-game series
with the Orioles on Monday night.

由於星期四是休兵日，紅襪有彈性將老蝴蝶放到與金鶯四連戰的最後一戰（星期一晚上）。

Matsuzaka has made 11 starts this season, going 8-0 with a 2.53 ERA.
He had to be removed from his Tuesday start in Seattle
after four innings after not feeling right from the outset of that performance.

松阪這一季已經上場11次，得到8勝0敗的成績，ERA為2.53，
他在西雅圖水手一役中，從一開始就感覺不適，投四局就下場。

The Red Sox initially described the injury as shoulder fatigue.

紅襪一開始是描述松阪的傷是肩膀疲勞不適。

Before putting Matsuzaka on the disabled list, Francona and general
manager Theo Epstein held a conference call
with the pitcher. Yes, Matsuzaka did try to fight his way off the DL.

在將松阪放進15天傷兵名單之前，粉柯南以及Theo Epstein有討論一下這位投手的反應，
「是的，松阪的確對於進DL有抵抗一下...」

"I think that, first of all, is good news because he feels good about
himself, which is always good," said Francona. "And that's what good pitchers
and good players do. That's part of the reason they're good."

粉柯南說：「首先，我認為他認為他覺得身體很OK這是好事，
且這是好投手跟好球員應該這樣覺得的，這也是為何他們很好的原因之一。」

Though the Red Sox won't rush Matsuzaka back before he's ready, they don't
look at this as any type of long-term injury.

然而紅襪不急著將松阪放回輪值~~直到他真的準備好（完全健康）為止，
且紅襪球隊並沒有將這個視為是長期傷勢。

"The timetable is going to be completely on when he's ready to pitch,
with health, and sustain that," Francona said. "I don't think this is anything
we think is going to be [serious].
If [it's time to come off] the DL and it's not his day or something,
it might be longer than 15 days. I think we'll be OK."

粉柯南說：「他完全健康、可以投球的時候，才是他能回來的時間，我不認為這是嚴重的事，
假如15天的DL時間(6/12)到了，但他還沒準備好（完全康復），則他在DL時間可能必須要超過15天，我覺得這是OK的。」
