During an appearance on 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin confirmed that Rickie Weeks (ankle) will be activated from the disabled list Thursday. Weeks was cleared to return Wednesday after running the bases for the first time since injuring his left ankle in late July. He won't be put into the starting lineup right away, but is expected to be eased back into action as a pinch-hitter and with short stints in the field. The main goal is having him ready for the postseason, so temper expectations in fantasy leagues.
