Matsuzaka throws bullpen as he aims for comeback

Photo taken May 5, 2015, in the southwestern Japan city of Fukuoka shows Softbank Hawks pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka throwing during a bullpen session. Matsuzaka, who is in his first season back in Japan after spending nine years in the majors, came down with the flu before the start of the season. He was prohibited from throwing after complaining of shoulder fatigue in discussion with Hawks manager Kimiyasu Kudo on April 2. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
