May 25 (The Sports Xchange) - Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Brian Matusz was suspended eight games by Major League Baseball on Monday for having a foreign substance on his arm during Saturday's game.

Matusz has appealed the decision and was available to pitch for the Orioles in Monday's game against the Houston Astros.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed first baseman James Loney on the 15-day disabled list.

Loney suffered a fractured middle finger on his left hand Sunday against the Oakland Athletics.
