Orioles avoided arbitration with LHP Brian Matusz by agreeing to a one-year, $1.6 million contract. He can earn $100,000 more in incentives. Matusz, who was a first-time arbitration-eligible player, posted a 1.35 ERA with well over a strikeout per inning as a reliever in 2012 and will likely be used in the same role in 2013.
