Elvis Andrus is dealing with back spasms and the Texas Rangers won't rush him back into the lineup.

Andrus experienced back issues while running the bases on Saturday.

"I'm going to rush it as much as I can but I want to be healthy out there," Andrus said. "I haven't been 100 percent since the second day of the season but at least I've been 80 percent."

He feels OK swinging a bat, but when he has to go down for a ground ball, that's when the pain pops up.

"It's not that bad, it's happened before to me," Andrus said. "I know what I have to do to get it better."
