Because now both Lackey and Matsuzaka are on the DL. While it sounds like Lackey might be due back relatively soon (this DL stint is probably just a head-clearer), the Globe sez that Daisuke "...has a sprained elbow, which likely means there is some degree of ligament tearing."
There are other reasons for Keeping Wake, of course, but the main one is that he's a known commodity: if his knuckle ball is dancing, he'll give you a shot at a win every time.
interesting.... i didn't hear diceK was on the DL. good thing neither of those guys went on the DL for hurt feelings...
