No surgery for Andrus, but Rangers will be without him 6-8 weeks | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The news that Dr. Keith Meister relayed to Texas Rangers officials Thursday afternoon on Elvis Andrus could be viewed by some as positive.

It could have been much worse.

X-rays and a CT scan confirmed that Andrus has fracture in his right elbow, but he doesn't need surgery and will be out six to eight weeks.

Andrus was struck just below the elbow by a 96-mph fastball by Los Angeles Angels right-hander Keynan Middleton with two outs in the ninth inning in an eventual 7-2 loss.
