Matt Andriese

Matt Andriese was traded to the Diamondbacks in exchange for Brian Shaffer and Michael Perez on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Fantasy Impact

Andriese has been used as both a starter and a reliever for the Rays this season. It looks like he will have a similar role with the Diamondbacks giving them pitching depth. Andriese does not have any fantasy value.

Matt Andriese got the win on Monday against the Yankees. He allowed two runs (zero earned) on three hits in 3 2/3 innings while striking out five. His season ERA now sits at 4.07.

Fantasy Impact

Andriese got the win despite the rest of the bullpen doing their best to blow the game. He is not a fantasy asset at this time due to the Rays’ ever-changing roles in the pen. Andriese should continue to see multiple-inning appearances after another pitcher has started. He should see a multiple-inning appearance this weekend against the Orioles.

Matt Andriese took the loss against the Twins on Sunday. He allowed four runs on two hits and four walks in one inning of work.

Fantasy Impact

Andriese struggled and then just when he had a chance to get out of it he gave up a grand slam to Brian Dozier. At least it was a good player in the middle of a heater. There is no league format in which Andriese should be owned.

Matt Andriese pitched a scoreless inning and received the win on Monday against the Tigers. He allowed one hit and struck out one. His season ERA now sits at 3.63.

Fantasy Impact

Andriese was penciled in as the starter for Tuesday. After being used tonight, the Rays will start Ryne Stanek in his place. He should still be available out of the pen. It should be another all hands on deck game after they used nine pitchers today and tomorrow is a bullpen game.

Matt Andriese pitched two scoreless innings against the Marlins on Wednesday. He allowed one hit and two walks while striking out three. He lowered his season ERA to 3.71.

Fantasy Impact

Andriese was pulled for a pinch hitter in the top of the third. Today is the second consecutive day in which the Rays pulled their starter early for a pinch hitter. Andriese although not fully stretched out seemed as if he would have been a good streaming option but all for not. He will continue to see work out of the pen and some spot starts going forward.
