Andriese, competing for a bullpen spot, was solid in a rain-shortened outing versus the Blue Jays Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese allowed just a single to Josh Donaldson over his two innings of work, and then threw two additional simulated frames in the covered bullpen area. "I felt good," he said. "I was out there attacking the zone and just trying to be aggressive. It's kind of tough when you know the rain is coming, so you're just trying to make it quick. But I got my work in and I'll go from there." The 26-year-old right-hander has acquitted himself well this spring in a bid for a possible middle-relief role, posting a 1-0 record and 1.13 ERA while striking out six over eight exhibition innings.
