SEATTLE -- Matt Andriese is the Rays' fifth starter for the immediate future.
The team announced on Wednesday that Andriese will make his second start of the season on Saturday at Tropicana Field against the A's.
"I think the plan is, without setting anything in stone, is to get [Andriese] a couple of starts in and go from there," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
Andriese's placement means that right-hander Erasmo Ramirez, who has been a weapon out of the Rays' bullpen -- recording a team-leading six wins -- will remain a reliever for now.
