ITEM:

ST. PETERSBURG -- Orioles starter Brian Matusz (left intercostal

muscle strain) will remain with the team through the weekend and see

the team's orthopedist on Monday. Matusz had been experiencing

discomfort in his lat/back area that turned into acute pain on Friday,

and he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with top pitching

prospect Zach Britton taking his roster spot.



Matusz will also go to Philadelphia on Tuesday to see the wart

specialist that removed a wart on his left middle finger earlier in

spring and make sure everything is OK there.



The team should have a better idea on Matusz's timetable moving

forward on Wednesday. He received a cortisone injection to help speed

up the healing process, and the initial prognosis is anywhere from 3-6

weeks, according to president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail.



LOSER: Already saddled with $65 worth of sore-armed mediocrities

Lester, Verlander and Feliciano, this latest news is the knell of

death for the defending champions.  Look for this team to try peddling

Joel Peralta to the Nukes for Farnsworth insurance and moving other

key pieces as rebuilding efforts get underway.  Trend is a DOWNWARD

SPIRAL.



WINNER: Calamari in desperate need of good news and they reel it in

with Zach Britton's rapid ascension to the Show. Now they Nathan to

nab some saves and if that happens, the fish are HEADING UPSTREAM.
