Wed Feb 26 2014 | 12:17 | Yankees to monitor Brewers' Rickie Weeks |
George A. King III of the New York Post reports that the Yankees will monitor what the Brewers do with Rickie Weeks this spring. |
Weeks is coming off a torn left hamstring and Scooter Gennett is the favorite for the starting second base job, so the Brewers will surely be willing to listen to offers. The 31-year-old is owed $11 million this year and has a $11.5 million vesting option for 2015. |

Mon Feb 17 2014 | 18:59 | Rickie Weeks reporting to camp fully healthy |
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke expects Rickie Weeks (hamstring) to be "full-go" when he reports to spring training this week. |
Weeks' 2013 season ended in mid-August when he underwent surgery to repair a torn left hamstring. Roenicke says Weeks is "doing really well," though, and ready to battle for the second base job. Scooter Gennett is seen as the favorite to start over Weeks at the keystone. |

Thu Dec 12 2013 | 10:27 | 'Nothing to' Weeks-to-Marlins rumors |
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel was told by a source that there is "nothing to" rumors of Rickie Weeks being traded to the Marlins. |
There were multiple reports late Wednesday night that the Marlins were looking into Weeks, but it's an odd fit since the club just signed Rafael Furcal to sign second base. The Brewers appear ready to give the starting second base job to Scooter Gennett, but it will be tough to move Weeks, who is owed $11 million next season and has a vesting option for 2015. |

Wed Dec 11 2013 | 21:51 | Marlins showing some interest in Rickie Weeks |
Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish is hearing the Marlins have some interest in Rickie Weeks. |
Earlier this offseason Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Scooter Gennett is penciled in as the team's starting second baseman next season, so the 31-year-old Weeks looks to be on the outs. Weeks is due $11 million in 2014 and has a vesting option for 2015. There hasn't been much buzz that the team is shopping Weeks, but he could likely be had for the right offer. |

Thu Aug 8 2013 | 18:29 | Rickie Weeks (hamstring) placed on DL |
Brewers placed 2B Rickie Weeks on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 8, with a strained left hamstring. |
The results of Weeks' MRI aren't yet known, but the injury is obviously bad enough that he'll require at least a couple weeks of down time. Scooter Gennett has been summoned from Triple-A Nashville and should see the bulk of the playing time at second base while Weeks is out. |

Rickie Weeks is headed back to Milwaukee to undergo an MRI on his injured left hamstring. |

Rickie Weeks told reporters that he "felt a little pop" in his hamstring on Wednesday night. |
Weeks had to be helped off the field Wednesday after pulling up lame on his way to first base. "I felt like a little pop or something like that," said the second baseman. "We think it's a pulled hamstring, so we're going to run some more tests tomorrow and see what happens." He is likely to be placed on the 15-day DL. |

Thu Aug 8 2013 | 01:04 | Rickie Weeks injures leg, leaves game |
Rickie Weeks injured his left hamstring running to first base in Wednesday's game and had to be helped off the field. |
The Brewers are calling him day-to-day right now, but we have to believe a DL stint is in Weeks' future. The Brewers will probably bring Scooter Gennett back to the majors to start at second base in his place. Gennett is worth adding in NL-only leagues. |

Tue Jul 30 2013 | 15:39 | Report: Royals have checked in on R. Weeks |
CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Royals are looking for upgrades at second base and have checked in on the Brewers' Rickie Weeks. |
Knobler hears that the Royals have also had discussions about Gordon Beckham of the White Sox and Howie Kendrick of the White Sox. However, there's nothing to suggest that they are close to a deal for any of those players. Royals second basemen are 29th in the majors this season with a .590 OPS. |

Rickie Weeks went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in the Brewers' 9-3 win over the Cubs on Tuesday. |
Weeks has been heating up for, well, weeks, but he is now officially hot. After Tuesday's game, the second baseman owns a .429 average with an OPS over 1.200 in June. The overall numbers are still pedestrian, but when Weeks is going like he is now there are few better options at the keystone. |

Wed Jun 19 2013 | 23:55 | Weeks hits go-ahead homer, Brewers top Astros |
Rickie Weeks hit a game-winning two-run homer in the eighth inning as the Brewers beat the Astros 3-1 on Wednesday. |
It was Weeks' first game hitting leadoff this year, and he responded by going 2-for-4 with the winning home run. The homer was his sixth of the season, and while he's taken a while to get going his average has been slowly rising since the middle of May. He's always a slow starter, so expect him to continue to get better as the season rolls on. |

Scooter Gennett will make the start at second base against right-hander Kevin Slowey. Weeks has been swinging the bat a lot better recently, so fantasy owners will have to hope that this quasi-platoon doesn't last much longer. |

Back in the starting lineup against a right-hander, Rickie Weeks went 3-for-5 and homered off the Marlins' Ricky Nolasco on Monday. |
