Productive in win Andrus went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Impact Both of the veteran's hits actually culminated with runs crossing the plate for the Athletics, but his seventh-inning single, which resulted in Sean Murphy scoring the go-ahead run, came as a result of Jesse Winker's error in left field. Andrus' season line is still a lackluster .227/.303/.328, yet he boasts a .316 average and .828 OPS across his last 13 games.

Swinging blistering bat Andrus, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in a loss to the Twins on Monday, is hitting .467 (7-for-15) with an RBI, two walks and a run in the last five games.

Impact The brief but impressive surge has quickly boosted the veteran shortstop's average from .183 to .231. Andrus' hot streak is reminiscent of his much longer breakout in 2021 following a similarly dreadful start, one that him furnish a .273 average and .325 on-base percentage over his final 100 games after carrying .174 and .219 figures in those categories as late as May 24.

Resting Thursday Andrus is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus the Tigers.

Impact Andrus returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with a shin injury, going 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored. He'll get a rest day Thursday and in his absence, Kevin Smith will draw the start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Returns to action Andrus (shin) is starting Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Andrus sat out in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit with a knot in his shin after he was involved in an outfield collision during the matinee. However, he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth a day later.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor injury Andrus will sit for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers due to a knot in his shin, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Andrus was involved in an outfield collision with Chad Pinder in the Athletics' 6-0 loss in Game 1, though both players remained in the contest. Manager Mark Kotsay noted that the shin injury Andrus picked up in the first game is to the opposite shin he had surgically repaired in September, so Andrus doesn't look to be dealing with anything significant. In Andrus' absence for Game 2, Kevin Smith will shift to shortstop.

Scuffling at plate Andrus, who went 1-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch and two runs in Friday's loss to the Guardians, is hitting .185 (5-for-27) with three walks, eight strikeouts and three runs overall ac...

Impact The veteran shortstop opened the season on a tear at the plate by posting a .364 average across his first six games, but he's mostly been in a deep funk since then. Andrus did struggle for most of the first two months of last season before picking up some steam, as he was slashing .207/.262/.264 as late as June 10 before picking up the pace by hitting .266 over his final 85 games.

On base four times Tuesday Andrus went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran shortstop was a thorn in the side of Orioles pitching in the low-scoring affair, snapping out of an 0-for-12 funk in the process. Andrus had gotten off to a hot start at the plate prior to his aforementioned four-game slide, and perhaps Tuesday's busy night will kickstart another stretch of success with the bat.
