GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Daisuke Matsuzaka has officially joined the revitalized Cleveland Indians.
The Japanese right-hander, limited to just 18 starts the past two seasons because of elbow issues, signed a minor-league contract Wednesday. The 32-year-old is being reunited with manager Terry Francona, beginning his first season with the Indians. The two spent several seasons together with the Boston Red Sox.
Matsuzaka will compete to win a spot in Cleveland’s rotation.
