CLEVELAND — Going around the league with the also-ran Athletics was kind of a drag. So coming to the White Sox, a disappointing team but one with a shot at the postseason, lightened shortstop Elvis Andrus’ outlook about the final six weeks of the season.
‘‘We were rebuilding; it’s always a tough one, especially for me,’’ said Andrus, who played his first game with the Sox against the Guardians on Friday after signing a deal for the prorated minimum salary for rest of the season. ‘‘I want to be in this environment. I want to be competing for the playoffs. Every day counts, meaningful games. I am really happy and pumped up to be here.’’
