From Mike Puma:
Hideki Matsui is clinging to the hope his season will continue, but the situation hardly looks promising.
The injured DH/left fielder had his swollen left knee examined by team physician Stuart Hershon yesterday and was told to curtail baseball activities for the weekend.
Matsui, who has been on the disabled list for nearly a month, will be reevaluated on Monday by Dr. Scott Rodeo, who performed arthroscopic surgery on Matsui's right knee last November.
Season-ending surgery on the left knee, Matsui said, remains a possibility.
"The topic is out there," Matsui said. "We just haven't discussed the details as of yet."
Matsui acknowledged this latest shutdown is probably his last chance at healing without needing surgery. The knee has already been drained of fluid several times this season.
I highly doubt we will see Matsui again this season. It's a really a shame too, he had settled into the DH role, leading the team with a .323 batting average.

He has one more year on his deal, right? He's getting injured way too much, they should entertain offers to see if they could get a good deal.
