Andriese set to face Cubs in Buchholz's spot

PHOENIX -- Right-hander Matt Andriese will start for the D-backs on Tuesday night against the Cubs in place of the injured Clay Buchholz, who will miss the rest of the season due to a flexor strain in his right elbow.

Andriese was acquired prior to the July 31 Trade Deadline and made 12 relief appearances in which he compiled a 7.31 ERA.

The D-backs sent him to Class A Advanced Visalia late last month to get one start in hopes of stretching him out to use as a long man or spot starter down the stretch.
