Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka was unable to throw a batting-practice session on Saturday as planned because of a stiff neck, managing only five tosses in the bullpen.

The Japanese right-hander’s inability to take the mound calls into question whether he can be healthy for next month’s start of the Major League Baseball season.

Back problems had nagged Matsuzaka throughout preseason workouts, but Red Sox manager Terry Francona said the pitcher’s neck problem had no relation to these.
