Matusz (back) is slated to return from the disabled list Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matusz recently pitched at Double-A Bowie for two games, and it looks like he's on track to embark on a short assignment at Triple-A Norfolk as a final tuneup before rejoining the Orioles. Once activated, Matusz, who posted a 2.94 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 49 innings, should be entrusted as one of closer Zach Britton's primary setup men.
