Elvis Andrus Suffers Ankle Injury While Scoring GW Run for A's vs. Astros

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus suffered an ankle injury while scoring the game-winning run in Saturday's game against the Houston Astros.

Starling Marte's walk-off double scored Andrus from first base, but the former All-Star was noticeably hobbling around third base and fell to the ground after touching home plate.

A's manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the game that Andrus "felt a pop in his ankle" and will undergo X-rays.

Andrus spent the first 12 years of his MLB career with the Texas Rangers before getting traded to the A's during the offseason as part of a deal that sent outfielder and designated hitter Khris Davis to Texas.
