Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus, who missed his fourth straight game Wednesday due to back tightness, expects to be back his team's starting lineup Friday to open a series against the Angels.
"I’m good to go," Andrus told the Dallas Morning News Wednesday. "I kind of knew I wouldn’t play [Wednesday]. They were trying to give me one more game and as much rest as possible. We have the day off and after that I’ll be ready to play."
Andrus finished August with a .303/.353/.394 line along with one home run, 16 RBI, 18 runs and 11 stolen bases in 109 at-bats.
