Andriese pitched four innings, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out three Royals in first start since June 25.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese, who replaced the recently-traded Matt Moore, was limited to 58 pitches in his return to the team's rotation. In his nine starts this season, Andriese is 6-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 1.03 WHIP while notching 57 strikeouts over 76 innings. The sophomore is more than capable of doing some damage in a starter's role. He threw a complete-game shutout back on May 14 against Oakland, and notched a pair of seven-inning outings this season in which he allowed just one earned run. Andriese will be one of the hottest commodities on the wire following Tuesday's re-entry to the rotation.
