Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz has been scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday night with a nose injury. Matusz bruised his nose while bunting during batting practice on Tuesday. He was supposed to start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, but was moved back in the rotation to Friday. Matusz says he feels fine and could have pitched if needed against the Pirates, but he was pushed back after a discussion with manager Buck Showalter. Matusz says he's feeling a small measure of pain, but added, ''I should be fine for Friday.'' Jake Arrieta will start Wednesday for the Orioles. Arrieta was demoted to the bullpen after his last start and will be throwing on four days' rest.

Orioles reinstate 2B Brian Roberts from 60-day disabled list

Via Oriole Post  |  June 13, 2012
With Brian Roberts coming back tonight, infielder Steve Tolleson was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. We will be watching to see what Roberts does in his return; however, Tolleson did a decent job while up with the Orioles and had a few big hits. Tolleson was a victim of the numbers game, and since Ryan Flaherty is a Rule 5 guy, he can't be sent down. I would imagine Tolleson...

Brian Roberts returns

On Wednesday Brian Roberts completed a long road back from injury making his first start with the Orioles since May 16, 2011. I never thought I would be writing those words this year. I honestly doubted I would ever write those words again. Brian Roberts' recovery was so long and his body seemed so delicate this spring that I never thought he would get back to Camden Yards...

Brian Roberts’ Little League Look – Two Flaps Down On His Batting Helmet

Via The Sports Lion  |  June 14, 2012
Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts played his first major league game in 13 months Tuesday night. Roberts returned from battles with multiple concussions, and is now sporting a batting helmet with two flaps for his protection, which he describes as “function over looks”. Roberts, who had three hits and an RBI in his first game back Tuesday, said the helmet has taken some adjustment...

Arrieta gets back on track in spot start

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  June 14, 2012
On Wednesday morning, Jake Arrieta was a reliever -- demoted from the Baltimore Orioles' rotation last week. The former Opening Day starter was trying to turn his season around. By Wednesday night, he was the man, having thrown seven innings as an emergency starter in place of injured lefty Brian Matusz. Arrieta cruised into the middle innings and battled through the seventh...

Winning and Attendance: Part 1

Via Dempsey's Army  |  June 13, 2012
I have said for years that the remedy for the poor attendance is not signing premier free agents, not signing "exciting name players" for marketing purposes, not putting "Baltimore" back on the away jerseys and not a better customer experience at the park. Those things are nice but factor that was going to move the needle for attendance was going to be winning...

Brian Roberts returns to Orioles

Soon after a concussion interrupted his baseball career, Brian Roberts was more concerned with simply living a normal life than returning to the game he loves. ''There were times throughout the process that the future looked so bleak,'' the Baltimore Orioles second baseman said Tuesday, hours before he was to play his first major league game in 13 months. Roberts...

Bye bye Baltimore

Following the surprising and very upsetting news of Charlie Morton‘s Tommy John surgery, the Bucs could have used a nice lift from Erik Bedard and company tonight in Baltimore.
