By Steve Silva, Boston.com Staff
In the first of what could be many awards in the years ahead, Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka was selected as the American League player of the week.
Matsuzaka won both of his starts over the last seven days, allowing four runs in 17 combined innings with no walks and 11 strikeouts.
The last Red Sox player to capture the award was David Ortiz (week of Aug. 6, 2006).
