Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus has cleared waivers, but he's unlikely to be dealt, according to CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler.
The fact that Andrus went unclaimed shouldn't come as a huge surprise. He's been a disappointment offensively after signing a $120 million extension in the offseason. There's also no reason to read into the Rangers' decision to put Andrus on waivers, as teams put a good amount of their players on waivers this time of year. While the team could replace him with Jurickson Profar, there's a sense they won't deal their everyday shortstop during the stretch run.
Andrus is hitting .255/.317/.306 in 470 at-bats.
