"They found the news this morning, we all did, that Dice-K Matsuzaka had been placed on the IL with a hamstring injury suffered last night."
Daisuke "Dice-K" Matsuzaka, a pitcher, played his last MLB game in 2014, winning one World Series title during a 2007-12 stint with the Red Sox.
Caron meant the current Red Sox designated hitter, Masataka Yoshida.
He later corrected himself.
" Masataka Yoshida — had that inadvertently before — Masataka Yoshida, as expected, placed on the 10-day IL," Caron said.
The Red Sox eventually lost the game , 8-3.
