Justin Duchscherer Receiving Pain Treatment

Orioles starting pitcher Justin Duchscherer is receiving pain management treatment procedure for his lower back. The Orioles gamble has not paid off thus far with the frequently injured Duchscherer. However, you can't blame Andy McPhail for signing Duchscherer. The starting pitcher market was thin, and we needed another arm. Fear not O's fans, Britton, Tillman, and Arrieta have all pitched well, with Bergesen in line to put up good numbers next. One can assume Jason Berken will take the 5th rotation spot until Guthrie, Matusz, or Duchscherer returns, as he is, sadly, the best (and I use that term loosely) remaining option on our roster. Hopefully a Spring Training under Buck Showalter has improved Berken.
