Update: Dice-K now scheduled to pitch Sunday for Sea Dogs after schedule change in NH

The Red Sox have confirmed that Daisuke Matsuzaka will pitch Sunday for the Sea Dogs in Mancheester.

Because of Tropical Storm Danny, expected here Saturday, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats have changed their schedule. Instead of a doubleheader Saturday, the Fisher Cats and Portland Sea Dogs will play a single game at 7 p.m. (assuming the expected rain stops and the field is playable).

The doubleheader will now be Sunday, starting at 4 p.m.

Matsuzaka will pitch the first game.
