Angels acquire Matt Andriese, plan to use him as a starter

The Angels picked up right-hander Matt Andriese from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for minor league right-hander Jeremy Beasey on Tuesday.
Although Andriese has pitched mostly out of the bullpen in the past two seasons, he will come to camp as a starter, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Andriese has options, so he could be part of the club’s rotation depth that shuttles between Triple-A and the majors.
Andriese, 30, posted a 4.71 ERA in 70-2/3 innings with the Diamondbacks
