    Boston Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who recorded just three outs in Monday's loss to the Oakland Athletics, said he experienced tightness in his neck leading up to the start, and he might wind up on the disabled list.Matsuzaka yielded two home runs and faced only nine opposing batters before getting the hook in a 6-1 loss to the A's."Daisuke obviously didn't have his good stuff tonight," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "He went out with a crink in his neck, and we were hoping he was going to work through it."Matsuzaka said the tightness is in the same location that caused issues during spring training and flared up again in May while he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
