Rangers manager Ron Washington told ESPN after Sunday's game against the Twins that he doesn't expect injured shortstop Elvis Andrus to play in Monday's series opener against the Athletics. The Rangers are one game ahead of the A's in the AL West.
Andrus has missed back-to-back games with lower back tightness. He batted .263/.324/.315 with 49 RBI in 524 at-bats before the injury.
