Talk about the Boston Red Sox

Dice-K’s back, but which version?

When Daisuke Matsuzaka steps on the mound at Fenway Park on Tuesday night to kick off a three-game series against a probable postseason opponent — the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — he will formally end an 87-day sabbatical from the Boston Red Sox’s pitching rotation.

Sox gear up for possible playoff preview

For the third consecutive year, the Red Sox appear poised to reach the postseason. And for the third consecutive year, they appear to be on a collision course with the Angels.

The teams have met in the American League Division Series each of the past two seasons, with Boston prevailing both times, and would be a playoff pair once again this October had the regular season ended Sunday.

Until then, they’ll have to settle for a mid-September showdown at Fenway Park that kicks off on Tuesday night, when Daisuke Matsuzaka makes his long-awaited return from the disabled list opposite John Lackey.
