Eligibility
The Mariners have signed relief pitcher Matt Andriese to a one-year contract. The deal runs through the remainder of the 2021 regular season.
Fantasy Impact
Andriese was recently released by the Red Sox but will get a second chance with Seattle. The Mariners re-shuffled their bullpen at the trade deadline and have struggled since then. The team's poor pitching has been exposed even more as of late; over their last two games, the Mariners have been outscored by the Astros, 27-4. The hope is that Andriese can help to eat innings and provide veteran experience down the stretch. He struggled in Boston, going 2-3 with a 6.03 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, and .344 OBA while blowing three of his four save opportunities.
The Red Sox placed RHP Matt Andriese (hamstring) on the 10-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
It's unclear how serious the injury is. Andriese has been brutal out of the pen lately, so Boston might be trying to create some roster flexibility here. A corresponding move has yet to be announced.
Red Sox RHP Matt Andriese will stretch out as a starter and be the “utility guy” on their pitching staff.
Fantasy Impact
Andriese signed a one-year, $1.85 million contract with the Red Sox during the offseason. He owned a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 33:11 K:BB across 32 innings for the Angels in 2020. Andriese can pitch in any role and is viewed by the Red Sox as a “utility” pitcher.
The Red Sox signed free agent RHP Matt Andriese to a one-year contract on Wednesday. The deal includes an option and is worth $7.35 million over two years.
Fantasy Impact
Andriese was non-tendered by the Angels in early December, but ends up signing a one-year deal with Boston. He has been used as a long reliever and spot starter for most of his career, his role should remain the same with Boston. Andriese owned a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 33 strikeouts over 32 innings for the Angels in 2020.
Pitcher Matt Andriese was non-tendered by the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, the team announced.
Fantasy Impact
In 2020, Andriese made 16 appearances (one start) and pitched to a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts over 32 innings. With more and more clubs utilizing openers, swing starters, and bulk relievers in baseball, Andriese could make for an intriguing budget-friendly option for innings. However, he is unlikely to have any kind of significant value in most fantasy formats.
