Elvis Andrus Stats

Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that he thinks shortstop Elvis Andrus (leg), who fractured his left fibula last September and had surgery, will be "ready to come to camp and hit the ground running." Andrus should be able to work out early in spring training, but the A's could ease him into game action in March. The 33-year-old shortstop had two surgeries after his injury last fall. He managed to hit .243/.294/.320 with three home runs, 25 doubles, 37 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 146 games for Oakland last year. Andrus has had only two big-league seasons with double-digit home runs, and he wasn't running as much anymore, even before his late-season leg injury. Maybe you're looking at him for some modest speed contributions in fantasy, but he won't give you much else.

The Oakland Athletics placed both shortstop Elvis Andrus (leg) and second baseman Jed Lowrie (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Both players are done for the regular season and can be dropped in all redraft fantasy leagues. Andrus was diagnosed with a fractured left fibula in his lower leg. He suffered the injury while running the bases in Saturday's game. Lowrie, meanwhile, has a sprained right hand that has been bothering him all month, forcing him to only bat left-handed in September. The Athletics activated Sam Moll from the paternity list and called up Vimael Machin from Triple-A to fill the two open roster spots.

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. Andrus had a six-game hit streak recently to raise his batting average to .241, but that's the extent of the positives for the veteran shortstop. Andrus' on-base percentage is an anemic .289 as he's found himself buried at the bottom of the Oakland batting order. Andrus is not a recommended shortstop in fantasy.
