Report: White Sox bring back Andrus on 1-year deal, will play 2B

Elvis Andrus is returning to the South Side.

The veteran infielder has reached an agreement with the Chicago White Sox on a one-year contract, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Financial terms are not yet known, and the deal is pending a physical.

Andrus is expected to play second base for the White Sox, according to Passan. When he does line up at the keystone, it will be the 34-year-old’s first time playing a position other than shortstop in 15 big-league seasons. His only experience playing second as a professional came in 2005, when he made one appearance there as a 16-year-old prospect in the Gulf Coast League.
