Kaz Matsui could miss the first two weeks of the season because of a slower-than-expected recovery, according to the Houston Chronicle. That would leave him out of the lineup for the first 13 games of the 2008 regular season. Matsui was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday. "Hopefully it could happen," Astros' Manager Cecil Cooper said of Matsui coming off the DL early, "but we're probably being overly optimistic."
