A looming suspension for left-handed reliever Brian Matusz adds another question mark to an Orioles' pitching staff that is seemingly a daily work in progress.
The Orioles are bracing for news this week that Matusz will be suspended following his ejection Saturday for having a "foreign substance" on his non-pitching arm. No suspension has been handed down yet — Milwaukee's Will Smith received eight games Friday for a similar infraction — and Matusz will almost certainly appeal. But when the process is finalized, the Orioles will be forced to play one man down for a period of time.
