Andrus and the White Sox agreed to a contract Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox are expected to officially announce Andrus' signing Friday, when the 33-year-old is set to join the team in Cleveland for its series opener with the Guardians. Before he was released by the Athletics on Wednesday, Andrus had been a regular starter in the infield, slashing .237/.301/.373 with eight home runs, seven stolen bases, 41 RBI and 30 runs in 386 plate appearances. Though he didn't fit in with Oakland's rebuilding plans, Andrus should be an ideal short-term fit for the White Sox, who are expected to be without top shortstop Tim Anderson (hand) until at least mid-to-late September. The White Sox will likely plug in Andrus as their new primary option at the position, leaving rookies Lenyn Sosa and Romy Gonzalez on the outside looking in for playing time.

Andrus was released by the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus saw inconsistent playing time over the first several weeks in August and will ultimately part ways with the club after Sheldon Neuse was recalled Wednesday. Andrus was traded from the Rangers to the Athletics ahead of the 2021 campaign, but he had a lackluster showing over his year and a half in Oakland. The 33-year-old slashed .241/.297/.342 with 11 homers, 101 runs, 67 RBI and 19 stolen bases over 252 games with the Athletics but will now seek out other opportunities for the final two months of the season.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus snapped a 12-game homer drought with his seventh-inning blast. He's up to eight long balls this season while slashing .237/.301/.373 with 30 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 386 plate appearances. Andrus has seen his playing time slip a bit lately as the Athletics evaluate Nick Allen's play at shortstop. Considering the Athletics are far out of contention, Andrus could slip into a part-time role as the team finds more time for prospects to gain experience.

Andrus isn't starting Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus started the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a double, a run and two strikeouts. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Jonah Bride starts at second base Monday.

Andrus isn't starting Friday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 0-for-5 with a strikeout Wednesday. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Chad Ponder starts in right field.

Andrus is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus has sat against the past two right-handed pitchers Oakland has faced, and he'll do so again Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Halos. Nick Allen will move to shortstop with Vimael Machin at third base and Jonah Bride at second.

Andrus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Nick Allen will move over from the keystone to step in at shortstop in place of Andrus. With a .777 OPS since the beginning of July, Andrus has been one of the Athletics' more productive hitters over the past month and change, so the 33-year-old should continue to see the majority of the starts at shortstop even though he doesn't necessarily fit into Oakland's rebuilding effort.

Andrus isn't starting Thursday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus is getting a day off after he went 3-for-12 with a double and three strikeouts over the last three games. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Jonah Bride starts at second base.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Andrus had one of only two extra-base hits for the Athletics in another low-scoring night for Oakland. The veteran shortstop now has a trio of three-hit tallies in the last seven games alone, and he's sporting a .346 average and .863 OPS across the 55 plate appearances covering his last 14 contests.

Andrus went 1-for-4 with a ground-rule double and a stolen base in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran shortstop laced his 22nd double of the season off Liam Hendriks in the ninth inning and subsequently swiped third base to give the Athletics some momentary hope, but Oakland ultimately fell short of snapping a 2-2 tie. Andrus has been hitting consistently since late June, producing a .293 average and .838 OPS across his last 29 games and driving in 17 runs over that span thanks to a .316 average with men on base.
