Fantasy Impact
Matusz is a former teammate of Arrieta with Baltimore. He is being called up to make a spot start so that the starting staff can all receive an extra day of rest. Matusz is a 29 year old who has a career 4.85 ERA. He was highly touted in his younger years. The main fantasy effect long-term will be the day of rest he will afford the rest of the staff. If he performs well, this could lead to future spot starts.
