The Marlins designated Andriese for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Just nine days after being selected from Triple-A Jacksonville, Andriese will once again be without a 40-man roster spot. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed three earned runs across five innings over three appearances during his stint in the majors and will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Marlins selected Andriese's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese will provide a fresh arm for a Miami bullpen that needs it. The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 and held a 6.05 ERA at the Triple-A level in 2023.

Andriese signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Nov. 29.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021, having spent 2023 at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization where he held a 6.05 ERA over 21 appearances (19 starts). It's not clear whether the Marlins intend to have him starting or relieving, but either way he's likely to begin the year at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Andriese was reassigned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese was signed to a minor-league contract back in January with an invitation to spring training, but the right-hander won't begin the season with the Dodgers, and will instead report to the minors to begin the season, assuming there's no opt-out to his deal. The 33-year-old was effective with the Yomiuri giants in Japan during the 2022 season with a 2.86 ERA over 63 innings.

Andriese signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear whether he's been given an invitation to major-league spring training. Andriese spent 2022 in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants, posting a 2.86 ERA over 63 innings. The 33-year-old has the ability to start and relieve but has been used mostly out of the bullpen in recent years.

Andriese is signing with the Yomiuri Giants, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese pitched for the Red Sox and Mariners in 2021, posting a 5.21 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 48.1 innings. He has pitched nearly exclusively out of the bullpen since 2019 but was primarily a starter earlier in his career. It's unclear how the Giants plan to use Andriese, though he may have the opportunity to stick in the rotation.

Andriese cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Andriese was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, and he'll hit free agency just before the end of the regular season. The right-hander made 34 appearances with Boston and Seattle this season and recorded a 5.21 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 48.1 innings.

The Mariners designated Andriese for assignment Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Matt Brash, who was called up from Double-A Arkansas to serve as a piggyback option behind starter Tyler Anderson in Tuesday's game against the Athletics. Since inking a one-year deal with Seattle five weeks ago, Andriese appeared in eight games out of the bullpen, giving up six runs (three earned) while striking out 12 over 11 frames.

Andriese, who fired a scoreless seventh inning an extra-innings loss to the Royals on Friday, has logged two perfect frames during which he's recorded two strikeouts since joining the Mariners on Aug. 22.
EDGE Analysis
The versatile veteran's pair of outings have actually unfolded the last two nights, with Andriese shining in each. The right-hander brings plenty of starting and long-relief experience to the table, which could make him a serviceable asset for manager Scott Servais in the Mariners' playoff push down the stretch.

Andriese signed a one-year contract with the Mariners on Sunday and was added to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Seattle's series finale in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle wasn't willing to take on the money remaining on Andriese's one-year, $1.85 million contract after Boston designated him for assignment a few days earlier, but the Mariners brought the veteran reliever aboard on what's presumably a more team-friendly deal once he cleared waivers and became a free agent. He'll be a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for Seattle, but expect manager Scott Servais to limit Andriese's usage to lower-leverage spots initially. Andriese submitted a 6.03 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 26 relief appearances for Boston this season, but the Mariners are likely hoping that his solid 15.3 K-BB% is a better indicator of his performance moving forward.
