Andriese (hip) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Wednesday and an additional one next Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following that pair of outings, Andriese will presumably be ready for activation from the disabled list, provided he's suffered no setbacks. That timeline would put the right-hander on target for the early September return that been the goal for some time, giving him the opportunity to build on the 5-1 record and 3.54 ERA that he's compiled through 12 starts.

EDGE Analysis

The comebacker didn't result in an injury, but it forced him from his rehab start after just two pitches, so this changes his return timetable. Andreise posted a 3.54 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 61 innings (12 starts) before landing on the DL. He now lines up to be activated to start Sept. 2 against the White Sox.
