Orioles optioned LHP Brian Matusz to Triple-A Norfolk. Matusz was shipped out immediately after coughing up five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and three walks in just four innings against the Indians. This after he was scorched for a 6.20 ERA across 24 2/3 June innings. In all, the youngster has posted an 8.44 ERA over his past five games. That wasn't going to cut it, especially after Baltimore endured all of his struggles last season. He should be back up later this summer after sorting through his issues on the farm.
