EDGE Analysis

He allowed three runs and recorded just one out before leaving Tuesday's start with the left knee injury. It is not clear what the exact injury is, but it will sideline Niese through the end of the month. Robert Gsellman, who tossed 3.2 shutout innings in relief of Niese figures to take the rotation spot in the meantime.
