After playing his entire 14-season career at shortstop, Elvis Andrus is adjusting to life as the second baseman for the Chicago White Sox.
Eloy Jiménez and Andrew Vaughn share an elaborate handshake before the White Sox’s 10-1 victory over the Mariners on Feb. 27, 2023, at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz.“The weirdest game I’ve played in a while,” he said with a smile., is making the adjustment to being a second baseman. He played in his first Cactus League game of the spring Monday against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch.
“Even between innings I was like, ‘What am I doing here ?’ ” Andrus said with a laugh. “But I’ll get used to it.”Andrus, 34, has played only shortstop and DH throughout his 14-year big-league career, which began in 2009 with the Texas Rangers. He was hoping to have an active Monday in the infield but didn’t have any grounders hit in his direction during his four innings.
“I need a few more games at second for sure,” Andrus said. “But I feel good. I’ve been working really hard with Eddie Rodríguez, our infield coach. I’m not 100% comfortable at second yet. But it was a pretty good first game.Second baseman Elvis Andrus makes a diving catch in the fourth inning of the White Sox’s 10-1 Cactus League victory against the Mariners on Monday at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz.“Double plays, especially to the glove side,” Andrus said.
“He’s a smart baseball player. And he works. I saw him catching ground balls today at 9:30 and he was getting after it. So to me that combination of makeup he’s got makes me believe he’s not going to have any issues.”It wasn’t a totally quiet day for Andrus on Monday. He got to the base and applied a tag for an out on a throw from catcher Yasmani Grandal to end the third inning.
