Rangers' Andrus plays for 1st time since hernia surgery (Yahoo Sports)

After missing the first 13 games of spring training while recovering from sports hernia surgery in November, Elvis Andrus returned to shortstop for Texas, playing four innings without a fielding chance and going 0 for 3 Saturday as a Rangers split squad beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1. ''I hear games are a little quiet,'' Andrus said. When Joey Gallo's helmet tumbled off after a two-run single in the third inning, Andrus joked with his power-hitting teammate.
