Matsuzaka surgery

DAISUKE Matsuzaka admitted on Sunday he feared for his Boston Red Sox future after learning he would have to undergo season-ending surgery on his right elbow. "I was told the ligament was torn and for the elbow to fully heal, an operation was the only option," the Japanese pitcher said. "Many people told me the success rate for this kind of surgery is high. But it's the first time for me and it worries me. Only bad things seem to be entering my mind now." The 30-year-old right-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list last month when he was initially diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow. Matsuzaka has gone 3-3 with a 5.30 ERA in eight appearances this season.
