Andriese will not be promoted to the starting rotation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks are considering replacing Zack Godley in the rotation, but manager Torey Lovullo is loathe to remove Andriese from his role in the bullpen. "He hasn't really entered the equation for me because he's been throwing the ball exceptionally well out of the bullpen and I don't want to disrupt that," Lovullo said. "At this point in time, we're going to keep him where he's at and let him continue helping us win games in that area." Andriese has been Arizona's long man out of the 'pen, pitching a total of 18.2 innings over 10 appearances.

Andriese allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings to earn his first save in Friday's 8-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese, a former starter, has been filling a long relief for the Diamondbacks. Seven of his nine appearances have lasted at least two innings. The right-hander is 3-0 with an 18:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings.

Andriese (2-0) allowed one hit and struck out two over two scoreless innings in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese, who's pitched multiple innings in all three of his appearances, was the pitcher of record when the Diamondbacks put up a three-spot in the bottom of the ninth in a come-from-behind victory. It's the second time Andriese has picked up the "W" when Arizona rallied for a late-inning win. The Diamondbacks rank sixth in MLB with 1.91 runs scored per game over the final three innings.

Andriese (1-0) picked up the win in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings victory over the Dodgers, walking four batters in 2.1 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

He nearly blew the game in the 10th inning -- entering with a runner on first and two outs, Andriese loaded the bases on a wild pitch, a HBP and a walk before making a great defensive play to snag an A.J. Pollock comebacker and escape the jam -- but the right-hander suffered no damage from his control issues and was rewarded when Carson Kelly's double in the top of the 13th broke a 4-4 tie. Andriese is used to his current long-relief role from his time in Tampa Bay, but from a fantasy perspective offers little other than iffy ratios and bulk strikeouts.

Andriese allowed four runs on five hits while striking out six over 4.1 innings Wednesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese got nicked up, but had swing-and-miss stuff. He threw 39 of 59 pitches for strikes. The right-hander is being being stretched out this spring, throwing 11.2 innings over four appearances (two starts, two relief), and is expected to be a swing-man/long reliever in 2019.

Andriese agreed to a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old righty debuted in 2015, but this was his first offseason as an arbitration-eligible player. He figures to work as a long reliever and swing man for the Diamondbacks in 2019. Andriese will hit the open market in 2022.

Andriese is expected to move back to the bullpen during the upcoming week with Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo naming Matt Koch the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese received the first opportunity to enter the rotation in place of Clay Buchholz (elbow), who sustained a season-ending injury Sept. 13. The right-hander's first start with the Diamondbacks was disastrous, as he lasted just two innings while giving up five runs on five hits to take the loss Sept. 18 against the Cubs. Koch, meanwhile, shined in long relief behind Andriese with four scoreless innings , so he'll get a look in the fifth starter's role during the final week of the season.

Andriese (0-2) got the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits while striking out four against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese was hit hard, allowing two home runs and two doubles in the brief outing. The 29-year-old was filling in the rotation spot of the injured Clay Buchholz (elbow), but it's unclear if he'll keep that spot the remainder of the season or slide back into a bullpen role. Since joining Arizona, the 29-year-old has a bloated 9.00 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 13 appearances (one start).

Andriese will start Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese will enter the rotation in place of Clay Buchholz, who was ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering an elbow injury. The right-hander has made four starts this season, but he's been working in relief since joining the Diamondbacks at the end of July, so he likely won't throw more than a few innings in Tuesday's spot start. It's unclear if Andriese will stick in the rotation after Tuesday or if he'll return to the bullpen, though that could depend on how he fares. He owns a 4.76 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB across 59.2 big-league innings this season.

Andriese was torched for seven runs on eight hits and two walks over 1.1 innings of relief in Monday's 13-2 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The seven earned runs were one more than Andriese had allowed in his last 12 appearances combined and resulted in his season ERA jumping from 3.99 to 4.76. The right-hander is likely to serve as an innings eater out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season, but don't expect him to see much duty in high-leverage spots even while the Diamondbacks' late-inning situation remains unsettled for the moment.
