Jul 3 RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka began throwing some short toss from 60-feet on Friday afternoon at Fenway Park, and the 28-year-old Japanese ace is scheduled for a Saturday flight destined for Fort Myers to begin rebuilding arm strength. Sox manager Terry Francona had a long meeting with the righty in the afternoon, and said that he'll be working closely with trainer Dave Page and pitching coordinator Goose Gregson while building up arm strength.

Jul 3 Matsuzaka (shoulder) will begin a shoulder-strengthening program in Fort Myers (Fla.) Friday, the Boston Herald reports.

Recommendation: The Red Sox have mapped out a program for him to follow, which will include an emphasis on Matsuzaka getting in better shape in addition to the shoulder rehab. The team will be treating this like the beginning of training camp. It is hoped through better conditioning, Matsuzaka can be more consistent in his delivery.
