Matusz could be stretched out to 60 pitches in his next spring training start, the Baltimore Sun reports. There has been no news that Matusz is in contention for a rotation spot. The Orioles might be looking at Matusz as a long reliever. This would be a bit of a surprise considering he had been expected to be the team's top situational lefty. Matusz's role might depend on other pitchers in camp. If Ubaldo Jimenez is squeezed out of the rotation, he would likely be the long reliever. If Miguel Gonzalez or Kevin Gausman do not make the rotation, either would likely be sent to the minors. The perplexing thing is that if Matusz is the long reliever, they might go with a less proven option as a situational lefthander in T.J. McFarland or Wesley Wright and the Orioles will be in a roster pinch if that is the case.
