Rehab is expensive: Rangers' Elvis Andrus will pay for minor league stint

This will be an expensive week for Rangers' shortstop Elvis Andrus. The shortstop, who began the first rehab stint of his career Monday night with Double-A Frisco, will be buying the team's postgame meals through Thursday before he heads to south for several games with Triple-A Round Rock.

It's nothing, of course, to Andrus, who last played in the minors in 2008. It's customary for established (and well-paid) veterans to treat their minor league teammates with some high quality culinary options when they briefly join their lineups.

"It's a lot of fun," said Andrus, who went 0 for 3 in five innings.
