ELVIS ANDRUS NEWS

Burns old team Andrus went 3-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran shortstop did some damage to his old squad by authoring one of a trio of three-hit efforts for the Athletics. Andrus' absolutely dreadful start to the season is firmly behind him, as he now owns a .290/.347/.420 slash line with nine doubles, nine RBI, six walks, two steals and 10 runs across 19 June contests.

Stays hot with two hits, steal Andrus went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.

Impact 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.

Surge continues in win Andrus went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and another two-bagger in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran has seemingly regained his confidence at the plate after a season-plus of considerable struggles, with Tuesday's multi-hit effort extending his on-base streak to nine games and pushing his June slash line to an impressive .304/.373/.457 across 13 games. Andrus has laced seven doubles during that stretch alone, but he remains without a home run through 231 plate appearances on the season.

Walks it off Friday Andrus went 2-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single and a double in a victory over the Royals on Friday.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Key contributions in win Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Sits Monday Andrus is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Seattle.

Impact Andrus went hitless over four at-bats in the final two games of the Athletics' series with the Angels, but he started to catch fire at the plate prior to that, going 8-for-15 over a four-game stretch. The 32-year-old's standing atop the depth chart at shortstop appears secure for the time being, but Chad Pinder will spell him at the position Monday.
