SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles will try to stay unbeaten in the Grapefruit League with today's 1:05 p.m. game against the Red Sox in Fort Myers. Brian Matusz will start today and fly to Philadelphia Monday morning to have a wart removed from the middle finger on his left hand. He will return to camp later that night. Update: Matusz said he's delaying his trip because of the pending storm up north. Now he must wait on the weather and the doctor's availability. He's already stated that it doesn't affect him pitching, so I guess there's no rush. For the Orioles Jemile Weeks 2B Francisco Peguero RF Delmon Young DH Steve Pearce 1B Nolan Reimold LF Steve Clevenger C Ivan DeJesus Jr. SS Julio Borbon CF Michael Almanzar 3B Brian Matusz LHP For the Red Sox Jonny Gomes LF Dustin Pedroia 2B David Ortiz DH Mike Napoli 1B Xander Bogaerts SS Will Middlebrooks 3B Cody Ross C Jackie Bradley Jr. CF Bryce Brentz RF Felix Doubront LHP Ortiz is 1-for-20 with 12 strikeouts against Matusz. Orioles reserves include minor leaguers Josh Hart, Buck Britton, Mike Yastrzemski and Christian Walker.
