Fri Mar 2212:18Diamondbacks Release Elvis Andrus
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Friday that they released infielder Elvis Andrus. The team also optioned left-hander Andrew Saalfran and outfielder Pavin Smith to Triple-A Reno and reassigned left-hander Jose Castillo to minor-league camp. Andrus was in camp with the Diamondbacks as infield depth, mainly behind Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop, but the 35-year-old veteran will now be back on the open market with Opening Day next Thursday, March 28. Now that Andrus is gone, Jace Peterson and Emmanuel Rivera are the best bets to back up Perdomo at the 6 in 2024. Waiting in the wings in the minors at the position are Jordan Lawlar and Blaze Alexander. In 112 games with the Chicago White Sox last year, Andrus hit .251/.304/.358 with six homers, 44 RBI and 12 stolen bases.

Sun Mar 316:36Elvis Andrus Joins Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have brought in shortstop Elvis Andrus on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. On paper, Andrus doesn't exactly fit in the overcrowded D-Backs infield. Geraldo Perdomo has already been named the starting shortstop. It won't be long before top prospect Jordan Lawlar is in the mix as well. At best, Andrus will have a bench role but that likely wouldn't be enough to provide consistent fantasy value. He slashed .251/.304/.358 with six homers and 12 steals during his time with the Chicago White Sox last season.

Sun Sep 24 202323:52Elvis Andrus Drives In Two Runs In White Sox Victory
In Chicago's rain-shortened victory over Boston on Sunday, White Sox infielder Elvis Andrus was 1-for-3 at the plate while driving in two crucial runs. Filling in for Tim Anderson at shortstop and batting in the leadoff spot, Andrus provided a two-run double off right-hander Kutter Crawford, propelling the White Sox to a 2-1 lead in a game shortened to six innings. Throughout the season, Andrus has maintained a respectable batting line of .255/.309/.364, establishing himself as a reliable and versatile asset for the team.

Fri Jun 2 202315:10Elvis Andrus Officially Activated On Friday
Chicago White Sox infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The veteran infielder missed about three weeks due to an oblique strain. However, he has been activated on Friday after his recent minor league rehab assignment. The expectation is that he'll resume his normal role as the everyday second baseman in Chicago. Before the injury, Andrus was slashing .201/.280/.254 with one homer, 13 RBI and five stolen bases this season. He has a good track record throughout his career, so the expectation is that he'll bounce back at the plate. In a corresponding move, infielder Hanser Alberto has been designated for assignment.

Tue May 30 202312:10Elvis Andrus Should Rejoin The Team This Week
Chicago White Sox infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) left the team on May 27 to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Manager Pedro Grifol said that as long as all goes well, Andrus should rejoin the big-league club at some point during their June 2-4 home series against the Detroit Tigers this weekend. The veteran infielder hurt himself swinging during a loss to the Houston Astros on May 12 and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day. The 34-year-old has gone 3-for-7 with a home run in two rehab games and looks ready to return to Chicago, where he's expected to resume his duties as the team's regular second baseman. Before his injury, Andrus was hitting just .201 (27-for-134) with four doubles, a homer, 13 RBI and five stolen bases in 39 games.

Sun May 21 202301:25Elvis Andrus "A Bit Ahead Of Schedule"
According to White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) is progressing. Even better, the veteran may be working his way back sooner than anticipated. "Those oblique strains have a mind of their own," said Grifol. "His body has healed quickly from this and is able to do some things that put him a little bit ahead of schedule as well." Andrus has struggled this season, batting just .201 with 27 hits, 13 RBI, and 26 strikeouts in 134 at-bats. As a result, there aren't many fantasy managers anxiously awaiting his return, considering his subpar production in 2023.

Sat May 13 202314:21Elvis Andrus Heads To Injured List
Chicago White Sox infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The veteran exited Friday's game against the Houston Astros because of oblique discomfort, which has since been revealed as a strain. Hopefully, some time away will do him good, considering he's batted just .201 this season. Chicago reinstated infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez from his stint on the IL in a corresponding move.

Sat May 13 202309:20Elvis Andrus Doesn’t Finish Game On Friday
Chicago White Sox shortstop/second baseman Elvis Andrus (oblique) suffered an oblique injury near the end of Friday's loss to the Houston Astros. He was grabbing his left side and manager Pedro Grifol says Andrus has oblique discomfort and is being evaluated. Look for an update on the 34-year-old's status ahead of Saturday's game, but it would be reasonable to expect a day off for that one. Never regarded for his pop, the veteran contact hitter is bottoming out with a feeble .254 slugging percentage across 134 at-bats with one homer and 13 RBI, but Andrus at least has five stolen bases in his 15th season.

Sun Feb 19 202321:35Elvis Andrus Stays With White Sox
Infielder Elvis Andrus and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal earlier on Sunday. Andrus split his 2022 campaign with the Oakland A's and was picked up by the White Sox midway through the season. When he transitioned to Chicago, he reverted to his secondary position at shortstop to fill the void of injury-plagued Tim Anderson. The 34-year-old spent the rest of the year at shortstop and even found some success at the plate. He composed a .773 OPS while smacking nine home runs with the Sox. On the season, Andrus slashed .249/.303/.404, with a 15.9% strikeout rate and 103 OPS+. The Venezuelan is expected to play second base, per the report, and could be moved in case of an inevitable injury.

Tue Jan 17 202300:34Red Sox Express Interest In Elvis Andrus, Jurickson Profar
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Monday that the Boston Red Sox have "expressed interest" in free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus and free-agent second baseman/outfielder Jurickson Profar. The team will be without Trevor Story (elbow) for several months at least, as he recovers from elbow surgery, and they no longer have Xander Bogaerts, so either or both players would provide depth. Andrus had a surprise 2022 season, slashing .249/.303/.404 with 17 home runs, 58 RBI and 18 stolen bases with the Athletics and White Sox. Profar slashed .243/.331/.391 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI and five stolen bases with the Padres. The Red Sox's lineup will not be as strong as it historically has been, and while either player could provide speed with some power, they would be, at best, late-round rotisserie picks if they signed.

Sun Sep 4 202201:05Elvis Andrus Hits Grand Slam Saturday
Chicago White Sox shortstop Elvis Andrus hit a grand slam Saturday night, pitching in in a 13-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Andrus has slashed .276/.311/.414 in 14 games and 58 at-bats since joining the club. He went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's game. Andrus now has a seven-game hitting streak, and he's taken over the starting shortstop job. Despite the team's rough year, Chicago still has all the pieces to be a dominant offense, and Andrus could offer value to desperate fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Thu Aug 18 202218:04Elvis Andrus Signs With White Sox
The Chicago White Sox signed free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus to an undisclosed deal on Thursday after he was released by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, according to sources. Andrus is expected to join the White Sox in Cleveland on Friday for the start of their series against the Guardians. Chicago has been using Romy Gonzalez, Lenyn Sosa and Leury Garcia at shortstop with Tim Anderson (finger) on the injured list, but Andrus should take over regular duties at the 6 moving forward. As a regular for the A's in 106 games this year, the 33-year-old veteran hit .237/.301/.373 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 354 at-bats. Andrus doesn't have much upside these days, but the move to the Pale Hose does make him more attractive in deeper fantasy formats.

Thu Aug 18 202211:04White Sox A Likely Landing Spot For Elvis Andrus
The Chicago White Sox are a likely landing spot for free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus, who was released by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The two sides are in talks, but nothing is official yet. With Tim Anderson (finger) out for at least five weeks after having surgery on the middle finger of his left hand, the White Sox could use some shortstop depth down the stretch. The 33-year-old Andrus would be just a temporary stopgap, as he was hitting just .237/.301/.373 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases in his 354 at-bats with the A's before his release. The White Sox have been using Romy Gonzalez and Lenyn Sosa at shortstop since Anderson landed on the injured list.

Wed Aug 17 202214:25Athletics Release Elvis Andrus
The Oakland Athletics released infielder Elvis Andrus on Wednesday. The 33-year-old appeared in 106 games for the A's this season, hitting .237 with a .301 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and seven stolen bases in 386 plate appearances. Andrus also saw the bulk of the team's starts at shortstop this season. Nick Allen has seen the second-most innings at shortstop for Oakland this year. The 23-year-old is batting .215 with a .279 on-base percentage, three home runs, and a stolen base in 173 plate appearances.

Fri Mar 11 202222:03Elvis Andrus Should Be Ready For Camp
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.

Mon Sep 27 202109:05Elvis Andrus And Jed Lowrie Placed On Injured List
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.

Thu Sep 23 202111:09Elvis Andrus Posts Another Hitless Game In Loss To Mariners
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.

Mon Sep 6 202111:15Elvis Andrus Continues To Struggle With 0-for-3 At Toronto
Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. Andrus has had a miserable first season in Oakland as he's slashing just .226/.272/.303 with only three homers and 30 RBI across 129 games played. The veteran shortstop is striking out more than he has in any season of his career and his nine percent whiff rate matches a career-worst. Andrus isn't a recommended fantasy option in any format ahead of even more tough matchups versus the White Sox.

Tue Aug 17 202117:59Elvis Andrus Reinstated From Paternity List
Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus has been reinstated from the paternity list and is batting ninth on Tuesday versus RHP Reynaldo Lopez and the White Sox. Andrus has had a rough first season in Oakland as he's batting just .231 with a .587 OPS. He's striking out 16.6% of the time which is much better than league-average, but still represents a career-worst for Andrus. More whiffs combined with his lowest hard-hit and walk rates since 2016, however, mean Andrus isn't much of a fantasy option these days.

Sun Aug 8 202110:26Elvis Andrus Collects Two Hits In Victory Over Rangers
Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 2-for-3 with a walk, and RBI, and a run scored in a win over the Rangers on Saturday. The veteran shortstop needed a game like this as he had just one hit in his previous 15 at-bats coming into the game. Andrus is batting just .233 with a .283 on-base percentage this season as he is no longer a fantasy asset at the shortstop position. He'll provide solid defense while giving the A's good at-bats from the nine-hole in the batting order, but fantasy managers can leave Andrus on waivers.
