Andrew Kittredge appeared in 15 games for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2017, and twice thus far this season. Last year he averaged one inning per appearance. This year, he’s averaging nearly three, including a “start” in his first appearance of the season. In his third, today, he will be starting again against the Boston Red Sox.
