Rickie Weeks Jr.
1B FA
Rickie Weeks is expected to miss 3-6 weeks with a severe sprain of his left ankle.
The good news is that no surgery is needed, but this is still a severe blow for a team with designs on the postseason. The Brewers have Craig Counsell starting at second base on Thursday, but he is hitless over his last 38 at-bats. Brewers GM Doug Melvin is going to have to go out and get some help.
