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.
