Matusz suspension upheld; Wieters returns for Orioles (The Associated Press)

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Major League Baseball has upheld Baltimore Orioles pitcher Brian Matusz's eight-game suspension for having a foreign substance on his arm during a game.

The Orioles got some good news, too. They are getting back star catcher Matt Wieters on Friday after missing more than a year for elbow surgery. He was activated from the 60-day disabled list and is in the lineup against Cleveland.

Matusz will begin serving the suspension immediately. The left-hander was ejected from a game May 23 against Miami when umpires discovered the substance on his right forearm.
