Elvis Andrus

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees. Though his on-base average sits at an ugly .276 for the season, Andrus has enjoyed a nice surge at the plate in June after struggling mightily during the first two months of the season. Through 16 games on the month, Andrus is slashing .298/.365/.439 with nine runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases. Despite the improved production, Andrus hasn't benefited from a move up the batting order. He'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's series finale.

Elvis Andrus had gotten a good look at Royals reliever Scott Barlow already. He knew with the game-winning run in scoring position and one out, all he’d have to do was weed out the fastball from the sea of sliders Barlow would feed him. After six sliders, Barlow caved with...

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single and a double in a victory over the Royals on Friday. Andrus' ninth-inning single narrowly plated Matt Chapman to snap a 3-3 tie, allowing the veteran shortstop to atone for a pair of earlier gaffes on defense that led to a Royals run in the eighth inning. Andrus' .213/.266/.274 season slash line naturally has plenty of room for improvement, but he's been markedly better thus far in June with a .276 average (8-for-29), four doubles, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across nine games.

Most of the players, especially Latinos, not only believe in God, but also in the Gods of baseball, who heard the prayers of the Venezuelan Elvis andrus so that he would redeem himself as he did Yesterday, with the Athletic from Oakland in full season 2021 of the MLB at stake against the Kansas City Royals.

An Elvis Andrus line drive to center scored a diving Matt Chapman in the ninth to earn the A’s another walk-off win Friday night, 4-3 over the Kansas City Royals. Chapman’s second double of the night put him in scoring position with one out before Andrus delivered off Scott Barlow (L, 2-2, 1.95 ERA) for the win. Andrus said:

Elvis Andrus, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Marcus Semien, Oakland Athletics, Tony Kemp, Shohei Ohtani, Oakland, Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award, American League. The shortstop position is a touchy subject for Oakland A’s fans these days. For six years it belonged to Marcus Semien, but he got away...

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday. The veteran shortstop mustered the only multi-hit effort on a difficult afternoon for the Athletics offense. Andrus' season slash line is up to .214/.259/.273, unsightly numbers that nevertheless qualify as his highest in all three categories since Opening Day.

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday. Andrus not only kept his torrid stretch at the plate going with his fourth multi-hit effort in the last nine games, but he also was credited by none other than Mariners manager Scott Servais for wearing out his starter Chris Flexen with an epic 13-pitch at-bat that ultimately culminated in the veteran shortstop's second two-bagger in as many nights. The 32-year-old is hitting .438 over the 29 plate appearances he's logged during the aforementioned hot streak, boosting his season slash line from .174/.219/.221 to .211/.259/.269 in the process.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday. Andrus' long-awaited renaissance at the plate continued in the big win for Oakland, as the veteran shortstop reached safely for the sixth time in the last seven starts. Andrus boasts an outstanding .409/.480/.500 slash line over that stretch, although he remains without a home run through 185 plate appearances.

OAKLAND — Going back to his days as a youth in Venezuela idolizing Yankees great Derek Jeter, Elvis Andrus hasn’t fallen prey to kneeling at the altar of the home run. The A’s shortstop has long recognized the value of hitting the ball the opposite way, moving runners along and keeping the line moving on the bases rather than obsessing over the next time he can send the ball flying over the fence.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a double and a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners. Andrus slapped his first hits since May 20 and accounted for three of Oakland's eight hits on the game but was stranded on each occasion. The encouraging effort raised his average from an anemic .174 to a still-lackluster .190 with seven extra-base hits and three steals on the season.

Andrus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. Andrus started each of the past four games at shortstop, with a 2-for-15 showing over that stretch dropping his season average to .178. The 32-year-old has been one of the majors' least-productive regulars in 2021, and it won't be surprising if he soon loses hold of his everyday role in the middle infield to Chad Pinder, who enters Sunday's game with a .902 OPS.

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros. Andrus will return to shortstop and bat ninth after being held out of the previous lineup. Chad Pinder will move to left field and hit sixth. Jed Lowrie will bat second and replace Tony Kemp on second base.

MLB umpires beware, don’t let Elvis Andrus fool you. Umpires get a bad rep as is, and Sunday’s Athletics-Twins game was enough of an ump show to make national headlines. Then, Elvis Andrus happened. The Athletics infielder hasn’t made much of an impact off the basepaths. As in, his only...

The Oakland Athletics listed Elvis Andrus as their starter at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Andrus will take over shortstop duties from Chad Pinder and bat ninth in the rotation. Andrus is projected to score 7.7 fantasy points against the Twins this afternoon and has a $2,000...

Andrus went 1-for-4 with a triple in a loss to the Rays on Sunday. Andrus' first three-bagger since 2019 served to extend his modest hitting streak to three games and qualified as his second extra-base hit in as many contests. Despite the occasional flashes at the plate, the veteran's season-plus slump continues in full force, as he's still slashing just .158/.203/.211 and sports a career-high 18.7 percent strikeout rate over 123 plate appearances.
