The Orioles have released their roster for the ALDS, and while it includes the usual suspects, there are a few surprises. Brian Matusz, who made 63 appearances during the regular season, has been left off. And Ubaldo Jimenez, who had a terrible year in the rotation, is in. Jimenez changed his delivery recently and looked much better in his last few appearances, including one inning on Sunday when he struck out the side.
Pinch runner extraordinaire Quintin Berry was also left off of the roster, as the Orioles opted to keep all three of Ryan Flaherty, Kelly Johnson, and Jimmy Paredes.
