Among the many disappointments to the Texas Rangers’ 2018 season is the fact that Elvis Andrus will only get to play in about 100 games. The All-Star shortstop and career-long Ranger missed over two months with a broken elbow suffered on April 11th. By the time he returned, the season had for the most part been lost. He has turned it on as of late, but there is no doubt this season will be considered an anticlimactic one from Andrus’ perspective.
From an organizational perspective, however, the Andrus injury may not be so unfortunate. Injury is never wished upon anyone, especially a class act such as Elvis Andrus.
