Rickie Weeks is not in the Brewers' starting lineup for Monday's series-opener with the Pirates. It's the first day off of the season for Weeks. He is batting .183/.304/.278 with two home runs and nine RBI.

Rickie Weeks went 3-for-5 with five RBI in the Brewers' 12-8 victory over the Pirates on Tuesday. The second baseman had been ice cold of late, so Tuesday's outburst was a welcome occurrence. Three of the five RBI came on a home run in the eighth inning, and Weeks also added a two-run single and a double on the evening. Weeks has a rare combination of power and speed that make him worth owning in mixed leagues, but the batting average will always keep him from being an elite option. A second baseman that contributes in three or four categories is still plenty valuable, though.

Rickie Weeks went 0-for-3 on Tuesday, striking out twice and walking once. It's his fourth straight hitless game, dropping his average to .164. He's struck out 28 times and homered just once in 73 at-bats to date. The Brewers have no real choice but to stick with him, but they have to be awfully frustrated by his streakiness. Last year, he was still hitting under .200 until late July.

Rickie Weeks hit his third home run of the spring Saturday in the Brewers' 4-3 defeat of the White Sox. A nice exclamation point for Weeks, who carries many question marks into 2013 after a somewhat down 2012. The 30-year-old is capable of bouncing back in a big way. Or maybe his four-year OPS slide will continue.

Rickie Weeks was scratched from Tuesday's Cactus League lineup. No word yet on the reason for the change. The Brewers are expected to make an announcement on his status soon.

Rickie Weeks delivered an RBI triple in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers. Weeks nearly had a two-run homer against left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, but he had to settle for an RBI triple after the ball nearly missed going over the fence in straightaway center field. The 30-year-old is hitting .348 (8-for-23) this spring and should be considered a top-10 option at second base in mixed fantasy leagues.

Rickie Weeks hit his first home run of the spring during the Brewers 4-3 victory over the Angels Saturday. Weeks also doubled in his three at-bats, raising his spring average to .231. Batting average isn't where Weeks makes his money, though. The 30-year-old hit 21 home runs last year, with 13 coming after the All-Star break. A rough couple months served to derail his 2012, but the power potential is still very much there. Weeks could be a nice source of counting stats in 2013.

Rickie Weeks remained red-hot, blasting a two-run homer in Saturday's 9-4 rout over the Mets. He finished the night 2-for-4 with a homer, double, two runs scored and three RBI. His two-run shot came off Jeremy Hefner as part of the Brewers' five-run fourth inning. He later added an RBI double in the seventh, increasing the Brewer advantage to 9-4. Over his last 13 games, Weeks is hitting .298 (17-for-57) with seven homers and 14 RBI.

Rickie Weeks stayed hot in Wednesday's 8-2 rout of the Braves, going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer. Weeks tagged Paul Maholm in the Brewers' eight-run fifth. The multi-hit effort was his sixth in 12 September games, while the home run was his 19th of the season. Weeks' next blast will give him his third consecutive 20-bomb campaign.

Rickie Weeks stayed hot in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Marlins, ripping a pair of two-run homers. The multi-homer night was the first of Weeks' lost 2012, though he's now gone deep three times in his past four games, and has four multi-hit nights since August 27. If Weeks is finally ready to go on a tear, he might as well do it during the fantasy playoffs. Signed through 2014, the soon-to-be 30-year-old second baseman is batting .230/.336/.395 on the year.
