Weeks will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in the order Sunday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weeks' hot hitting in addition to the Rays running into opposing southpaws of late will result in the veteran earning his sixth straight start. In the preceding five games, Weeks has enjoyed his best stretch of the season, during which he's gone 6-for-21 with three extra-base hits. However, Weeks has still struck out in 40.9 percent of his plate appearances during that span, which will make it difficult for his batting average to climb much higher above the Mendoza Line.
