Jemile Weeks (shoulder) is expected to return to Cactus League games Monday.

Weeks has missed the last week with a shoulder bruise. While the Athletics don't consider the injury serious, he'll need to stay healthy if he hopes to win the second base job in spring training.

X-rays on Jemile Weeks' right shoulder came back negative.

Weeks suffered a bone bruise in his shoulder last Friday when he got tangled up at second base on a double-play attempt. While it's a tough blow considering that he's trying to win the second base job, he could return to game action by Sunday.

Jemile Weeks hasn't played since Friday due to a bruised bone in his right shoulder.

He was injured when he got tangled up at second base on a double-play attempt. Weeks is considered day-to-day and should return to action soon.

Jemile Weeks went 2-for-2 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

Weeks also walked and scored a pair of runs. The former first-round pick has picked up five hits in his first eight at-bats this spring while driving in four runs. However, he could still be out of a roster spot with Jed Lowrie expected to spend most of his time at second base.

Jemile Weeks finished 2-for-3 with two RBI in the A's loss to the Indians on Monday in Arizona.

Weeks was caught stealing on his one attempt, but it was a good day overall. The talented former first-round pick is hoping to prove to A's management this spring that he can be relied on as an everyday second baseman. If he wins that job, he'll carry decent fantasy value.

The Athletics' second base job "will be an open competition" between Jemile Weeks and Scott Sizemore.

Weeks dealt with health issues and struggled with effectiveness in 2012, but he'll enter spring training as the slight favorite for a starting role. After missing all of last season due to injury, Sizemore is also a candidate for playing time at third base with Josh Donaldson, and could be a potential fantasy sleeper if he can find his way into an everyday job.

Jemile Weeks went 2-for-3 with a double and a steal Thursday in his first start since being called up from Triple-A.

The A's have mostly used Cliff Pennington at second base lately and they've been winning, so they probably won't be quick to make a change. Weeks, however, does offer more offensive potential at the position. The A's should give him a few more starts before they decide who they want to play at second base in the postseason, if they advance.

Jemile Weeks is starting at second base Thursday.

It'll be his first taste of action since being demoted to Triple-A Sacramento on August 20. Weeks was recalled September 10 but is batting just .220/.305/.302 in 113 major league games this season and seems unlikely to carry fantasy value down the stretch.

A's recalled 2B Jemile Weeks from Triple-A Sacramento.

Weeks posted a promising .333/.412/.422 slash line in 51 plate appearances at Sacramento after getting optioned off the A's 25-man roster on August 21. The 25-year-old still has a bright future but wasn't productive earlier this summer in the majors and won't get many starts over the regular season's final three weeks. His promotion can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Athletics optioned 2B Jemile Weeks to Triple-A Sacramento.

It's been a lost season for the 25-year-old second baseman, who entered 2012 to great hype after posting a .761 OPS and stealing 22 bases in 2011. Weeks could be brought back in September if he gets on the right track down on the farm, but he can be dropped in most fantasy leagues.

Casey Pratt of CSNBayArea.com writes that Jemile Weeks "could be under pressure."

Weeks made a costly error on Tuesday and is sitting out Wednesday in favor of Adam Rosales. The A's have also given prospect Grant Green extra time at second base at Triple-A Sacramento recently, possibly indicating that Weeks is on the hot seat. The 25-year-old is batting just .220/.304/.303 with two homers and 15 steals this season.

Jemile Weeks tripled and scored on a Coco Crisp sac fly in the bottom of the 15th as the A's beat the Jays 5-4 on Friday.

Weeks had the sac fly that scored the winning run when the A's won in 15 innings on Monday. Tonight, he was on the other side. He ended the game 3-for-6, raising his average to .221.

After going 0-for-7, Jemile Weeks delivered a game-winning sac fly as the A's beat the Rays 4-3 in 15 innings on Monday.

The A's won despite striking out a team-record 21 times. Their top three hitters in the order -- Weeks, Jonny Gomes and Josh Reddick -- combined to go 1-for-20 with one walk and eight strikeouts. Still, the last out got the job done. The A's bullpen combined to pitch eight scoreless innings after a solid outing from A.J. Griffin.

Jemile Weeks has been batting second lately partly due to some leg soreness.

It's also presumably a big reason why Weeks hasn't stolen a base since mid-May. It doesn't appear that he'll need a stint on the disabled list, but don't expect him to run wild anytime soon.

Jemile Weeks returned to action on Monday with a 1-for-5, two-RBI performance against the Rangers.

Weeks had been day-to-day with a left hip strain. Monday's effort marked his first RBI since May 1 -- a span of 26 games. The disappointing second baseman has picked it up a bit the past week but is still batting only .227 with seven RBI in 193 at-bats.

Jemile Weeks has been diagnosed with a mild hip strain and is listed as day-to-day.

Weeks stated that he wasn't worried about the injury, and even hinted that he may be available to play on Sunday. This doesn't look like it's something that will keep him out long-term, but monitor the situation before setting your lineups for next week.

Jemile Weeks has been removed from Saturday's game against the Royals in the seventh inning with an apparent leg injury.

Weeks singled to lead off the top of the seventh inning, and advanced to second base on a walk, where the trainer and manager Bob Melvin were called out to evaluate. Adam Rosales entered into the game to pinch run for Weeks, though there is word on the extent or type of injury yet. We'll pass along more information as soon as it is known.
