The Marlins outrighted Andriese to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Andriese has now cleared waivers twice this season after being removed from Miami's 40-man roster. Andriese could have elected free agency, but he looks as though he'll be receptive to returning to Jacksonville.

Marlins' Matt Andriese: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Andriese for assignment Sunday.
He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to right-hander Edward Cabrera (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the White Sox. After being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Andriese appeared in relief later that day in the Marlins' game against the Red Sox, taking a loss while giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over one inning.

The Marlins selected Andriese's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Marlins' Matt Andriese: DFA'd by Fish
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Andriese for assignment Saturday.
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.

Marlins' Matt Andriese: Added to roster
Rotowire
The Marlins selected Andriese's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.
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.

Marlins' Matt Andriese: Agrees to minors deal with Marlins
Rotowire
Andriese signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Nov. 29.
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.

Dodgers' Matt Andriese: Assigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Andriese was reassigned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.
Andriese was signed to a minor-league contract back in January with an invitation to spring training, and the right-hander 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.

Dodgers' Matt Andriese: Lands deal with Dodgers
Rotowire
Andriese signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday.
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.

Matt Andriese: Headed overseas
Rotowire
Andriese is signing with the Yomiuri Giants of the NPB in Japan, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
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.

Matt Andriese: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Andriese cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday.
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.

Mariners' Matt Andriese: Perfect through two appearances
Rotowire
Andriese, who fired a scoreless seventh inning in 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.
The veteran's pair of outings have 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.

Mariners' Matt Andriese: Signs on with Seattle
Rotowire
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.
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.

Matt Andriese: Released by Red Sox
Rotowire
Andriese was let go by Boston on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Andriese failed to get the job done in 37.1 innings of relief for the Red Sox this season, struggling to a 6.03 ERA. His underlying numbers suggested that number was worse than he deserved, though his combination of a 21.5 percent strikeout rate and 6.2 percent walk rate isn't good enough for much more than a low-leverage role. He'll likely be stuck with a minor-league deal if he manages to find a new club before the end of the year.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Booted from roster
Rotowire
The Red Sox reinstated Andriese (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and designated him for assignment.
Andriese looks to be healthy again after he recently completed a three-game rehab assignment, but rather than reporting to Boston, he'll stick around at Triple-A Worcester for the time being while waiting to see how the waiver process plays out. If Andriese goes unclaimed by MLB's other 29 teams, he could continue pitching out of the Worcester bullpen with the hope of earning a call-up to Boston during the final six weeks of the season. Over 37.1 innings in the majors this season, Andriese has posted a 6.03 ERA and 1.77 WHIP.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Kicks off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Andriese (hamstring) tossed a scoreless sixth inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester, scattering two hits while striking out one.
Andriese is expected to remain with Worcester and make at least one or two more rehab appearances before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Before being shut down with the hamstring issue in early July, Andriese compiled a 6.03 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 37.1 innings out of the Boston bullpen this season.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Gets on mound
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Andriese (hamstring) threw off a mound Monday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Cora didn't specify whether Andriese completed a full bullpen session, but the fact that the right-hander has advanced from throwing off flat ground is seemingly a positive sign as he continues his recovery from a right hamstring injury. Once he's able to face hitters in live batting practice, Andriese should head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Boston's bullpen.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Heads to IL
Rotowire
The Red Sox are placing Andriese on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring injury, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Manager Alex Cora said Andriese was limping after the final pitch of his two-run inning Friday. He will be sidelined until after the All-Star break, at which point he could be demoted to Triple-A due to his abysmal performance the past couple months. Andriese posted a 1.42 ERA in 12.2 innings across nine April appearances, but he has pitched to an 8.39 ERA and 2.11 WHIP in 24.2 innings since. He's also blown three saves and taken two losses since the start of May. The Red Sox have yet to announce a corresponding move.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Gives it up in extras
Rotowire
Andriese (2-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits in a third of an inning Saturday to take the loss in extra innings to the Athletics.
The Red Sox staked Andriese to a two-run lead in the top of the 12th inning, and he gave it all away in just 13 pitches during the bottom half of the frame. The right-hander got off to a brilliant start in April but has gone south since the beginning of May. He has a 7.99 ERA while permitting seven home runs over 23.2 innings in the last 16 games. The downturn could be attributed to usage -- Andriese has gone more than a week without pitching three times since the beginning of June -- as Boston has not needed its go-to multi-inning reliever often. Manager Alex Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that Andriese is still needed.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Provides needed length
Rotowire
Andriese allowed one run on three hits and struck out five over three innings in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Astros.
Houston's belligerent lineup chased starter Martin Perez early, so the Red Sox turned to their multi-inning reliever out of the bullpen. This was the sixth time in 19 outings that Andriese has thrown more than two innings. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 4.88 ERA over 27.2 innings.

Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Hits rough patch
Rotowire
Andriese (1-2) picked up the loss Monday after allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over two-plus innings against Baltimore.
Andriese was well rested and ready to pitch multiple innings when he came on in the sixth inning for starter Martin Perez. The game was tied at one apiece -- but not for long. The first batter he faced, Trey Mancini, took him deep over the center field wall. Andriese was later victimized by a fluky triple off the bat of Cedric Mullens. Andriese has been a convenient pocket knife out of the bullpen, working in a variety of situations, but he's hit a rough patch since the start of May. He's lost twice while allowing seven runs on 11 hits and three walks over his last four outings.
