Matusz (back) threw a bullpen at full intensity Wednesday and could return to game action Saturday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matusz has been ramping up his activity this week, logging a pair of bullpen sessions and working up to "game effort" in his session Wednesday. Provided that his back continues to hold up to the increased workload, Matusz should be back on the mound in an exhibition game over the weekend.
