Availability
Elvis Andrus has announced he will sign a one-day contract with the Rangers Friday and announce his retirement.
Fantasy Impact
Andrus will finish his career with a .269 average, 102 home runs, 775 RBI, and 347 stolen bases in 15 major league seasons.
Veteran infielder Elvis Andrus has been released by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Andrus inked a minors deal with the D-backs this winter but he has struggled mightily in Cactus League action. The veteran hit .118 without a homer, a run, an RBI, or a stolen base in 18 plate appearances this spring.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed Elvis Andrus to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
This move comes after the Diamondbacks reassigned many players to minor league camp. Andrus will likely look to earn a utility role out of camp with Arizona.
Andrus had a solid performance at the plate, going 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, this game highlights Andrus's ability to provide power and drive in runs, which could be valuable for fantasy owners in need of some pop in their lineups. With 6 home runs on the season and 41 RBIs, Andrus has shown some potential to contribute in those categories, although his overall batting average of .254 leaves something to be desired. Nonetheless, his ability to hit for power and drive in runs makes him a decent option in deeper fantasy leagues.
Elvis Andrus had a solid performance in Thursday's game against the Athletics, contributing a home run and driving in a run.
Fantasy Impact
This long ball adds to his recent power surge, as he now has five home runs on the season. While Andrus has struggled with a low batting average this year, his ability to provide some pop in the lineup has been a bright spot for fantasy owners. With 11 stolen bases and consistent playing time, Andrus remains a valuable contributor in the stolen base category as well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his power production and hope for an improvement in his batting average moving forward.
