NEW YORK (AP) — Mets right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka has been lifted from his start against the San Diego Padres on Sunday after one inning because of an apparent injury.

Manager Terry Collins and a trainer visited Matsuzaka on the mound after he walked Seth Smith with two outs in the first. Matsuzaka remained in the game.

After getting Chase Headley to ground to first base for the third out, the 33-year-old Matsuzaka slowly walked off the field. He received a handshake from Collins in the dugout before going into the Mets clubhouse.

Carlos Torres took over for Dice-K to start the second.
