Andriese is likely to hold a spot in the Tampa Bay rotation to begin the season following the acquisition of Erasmo Ramirez this week. He may still make the Opening Day roster as a reliever, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Andriese is in a good spot, and the team won't need a fifth starter until April 14 anyway, so it's possible that he'll work in a multi-inning relief role as the team sorts out its early-season plans with Drew Smyly (shoulder) and Alex Cobb (forearm) starting the year on the disabled list.
