| News: Hunter was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, MASN Sports reports. | Impact: With a couple of off days coming up, the Orioles added another arm in the bullpen. The next time a fifth starter is needed is June 9, and by then Zach Britton could be ready to return. Hunter will have to try to get his stuff together in order to earn another shot.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Hunter struggled again in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday. | Impact: He allowed six runs and surrendered two homers in three innings. It was the fourth time in five starts he's given up at least four runs and the second straight in which he gave up five. Hunter is 2-3 with a 5.59 ERA this season.(STATS, 1:44pm) |

| News: Hunter was roughed up Monday as he allowed six runs (five earned) and nine hits over three innings in a loss against the Blue Jays. | Impact: Hunter has not earned victory since April 24th and is only 2-3 this season. He has allowed four earned runs or more in four of his last five starts and has a bloated 1.43 WHIP overall. Hunter has a strong offense to support him, but he hasn't been able to take advantage of it due to his struggles.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Hunter's next start will be pushed back at least one day, and his start could be skipped altogether, MASN Sports reports. | Impact: The Orioles have elected to take advantage of Thursday's off day by starting Brian Matusz on regular rest on Sunday. Hunter could start Monday's game, though it is unclear if that is in the plans at this point. With Zach Britton potentially just a few weeks from returning, Hunter's spot in the rotation appears to be the most vulnerable.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Hunter did not get a decision Monday in an 8-6 loss to the BoSox. | Impact: Hunter gave up five runs and nine hits over six innings.(STATS, 3:05pm) |
| Mon. May 21, 2012 | |
| News: Hunter did not record a decision Monday as the Orioles fell to the Red Sox, 8-6. He pitched six innings and allowed five runs and nine hits to go along with three strikeouts. | Impact: Hunter has not earned a victory since April 24 and has allowed four runs or more in three of his last four starts. He's not a strikeout pitcher and he has a 1.35 WHIP, so it would be best to look for other starting options at this time.(RotoWire, ) |
| Wed. May 16, 2012 | |
| News: Hunter had a solid outing for the Orioles in a win over the Royals on Wednesday night. He went seven strong innings and gave up just two earned runs, though the measly one strikeout was a disappointment. | Impact: Hunter had been roughed up in his two previous start after a solid start to the year. This start could get him back on track, but either way he remains an inconsistent option.(RotoWire, ) |
