Update: Matsuzaka has been pushed back

Daisuke Matsuzaka will not be making his sixth start of the season when the Toronto Blue Jays come into Fenway for a three game series on Tuesday. He will be flip-flopping starts with Jon Lester, who will get the start of the opening game of the Jays series; Matsuzaka will go for win number five on Wednesday. The reason for the decision to switch these two starts relates to the flu epidemic that has hit the Red Sox clubhouse the last week, according to the Red Sox and the Globe. Matsuzaka was the fourth and last Sox player who was stricken with the flu last week and did not accompany the team to Tampa last weekend to not spread the illness to the rest of the team.
