| News: Matusz allowed four runs (three earned) over six innings in Sunday's loss to Kansas City, allowing seven hits and three walks in the process. | Impact: It was a quality start for Matusz but a definite step back from his last dominating start in Boston. He struck out five but allowed too many baserunners to stave off the Royals. His ERA sits at 4.82 - a definite improvement over his historically awful season last year - but there's some work left to do to reach the lofty status his prospect pedigree suggested he could reach.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Matusz dominated the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run and two hits in 6 1-3 innings. He also struck out a season-high nine. | Impact: Matusz has won his last three starts to improve to 4-4 with a 4.86 ERA. He's allowed three or fewer runs in each of the last three starts.(STATS, 3:36pm) |

| News: Matusz will start Sunday's game against the Royals after Tuesday's dominant performance against the Red Sox, MASN Sports reports. | Impact: Matusz will start on normal rest as the Orioles take advantage of Thursday's off day. Tommy Hunter's next start will be pushed back to monday at the earliest. This is positive sign for Matusz. He started the season as Baltimore's fifth starter, but he is now more entrenched into the rotation than Hunter. Zach Britton should be about three weeks away from returning and if a decision was made today he would replace Hunter.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Matusz got the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, holding Boston to just two hits and a run over 6.1 innings, striking out nine. | Impact: It was easily Matusz's best start since his disastrous 2011 season began. The only blemish was a Kevin Youkilis home run; outside of that he had Boston's hitters on a string for the entire night. Is it time to believe? He still has a strikeout-to-walk ratio below 2.0 and a woefully low ground ball rate of 35.4%, but given his prospect pedigree and this excellent start, he deserves to be watched at the least.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Matusz earned a second victory as the Orioles beat the Rays 5-3 on Saturday night. | Impact: Matusz gave up three runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings, striking out five.(STATS, 2:06pm) |
