Weeks went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 12-1 rout of the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

He's had a slow start to the season, slashing .203/.338/.373 through 22 games, but Weeks has now posted back-to-back two-hit games. With Logan Morrison and Corey Dickerson both hitting well and Colby Rasmus back in the fold, though, playing time will be hard for Weeks to come by.

Weeks is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weeks has seen an uptick in playing time as of late due to the multitude of injuries plaguing the Rays outfield, but after striking out eight times in the past three games, he'll head to the bench for a night off. Shane Peterson will fill in as the designated hitter Tuesday.

Weeks will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and bat seventh in the order Monday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays are short on healthy outfielders with Colby Rasmus (groin) and Mallex Smith (hamstring) on the disabled list, so Corey Dickerson will slot into left field Monday, opening up the DH spot for Weeks. It's the third straight start for Weeks, but he hasn't done much yet to prove deserving of the extra playing time. He's recorded three hits and 10 strikeouts over 17 at-bats this season.

Weeks (shoulder) is back in the lineup as the Rays' designated hitter for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay TImes reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing two games with some shoulder discomfort, Weeks will dig back in Saturday and bat cleanup against lefty Chris Sale. The fact that Weeks is back in the lineup is certainly an encouraging sign, but there's no word yet on when he'll be able to get back to playing first base.

Weeks (shoulder) is out of the lineup Thursday, the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He likely wouldn't have gotten the start even if he were healthy, as the Rays are facing righty Luis Severino. Logan Morrison is starting at first base and hitting sixth. Weeks suffered a bone bruise on his shoulder and also experienced neck soreness after the collision with Brett Gardner at first base Wednesday. He does not expect to need a DL stint, according to SB Nation's Mark A. Suleymanov, and should be considered day-to-day. The next lefty the Rays face will be Chris Sale in Boston on Saturday, so that would likely be the soonest Weeks could return.

Weeks (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run before exiting Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees due to a collision at first base.

EDGE Analysis

Weeks hit out of the cleanup spot and opened the scoring on the day in the first inning with a 391-foot two-run shot to left off Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery. It was Weeks' first homer of the season and the veteran's third hit overall. The 34-year-old has proven to be a positive addition throughout spring and in the early going of the regular season, so reports that he'll apparently avoid the disabled list with the bone bruise he suffered in the collision is certainly welcome news.

Weeks has a bone bruise on his shoulder but doesn't expect to go on the DL, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weeks was involved in a nasty collision with Brett Gardner that forced both of them out of the game, though it appears the 34-year-old escaped what could have been a serious injury. He doesn't expect to have to go on the disabled list, but he should be considered day-to-day until the Rays release more on his status.

Weeks left Wednesday's game with neck and right shoulder soreness, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was involved in a nasty collision with Brett Gardner, but so far it appears he has escaped without any concussion symptoms. Weeks should be considered day-to-day and Logan Morrison should continue to get the bulk of the starts at first base.

Weeks left Wednesday's game against the Yankees in the bottom of the sixth inning after being involved in a collision at first base with Brett Gardner.

EDGE Analysis

He was attempting to field a poorly thrown ball to first base, and was drawn into Gardner's line and the two collided painfully before the runner got to the bag. Weeks appeared to take the brunt of the collision, and may need to go into concussion protocol as a result. This was just Weeks' third career start at first base. He was replaced by Logan Morrison.

Weeks is in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, batting cleanup and playing first base, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran is expected to serve in a platoon with Logan Morrison at first base this season, so it comes as no surprise that Weeks is garnering a start with southpaw C.C. Sabathia toeing the rubber for the opposition. Weeks displayed good pop during spring training, so if he can continue to play well against left-handed pitchers (1.010 OPS against lefties in 2016), he could be a cheap source of power in deeper leagues.
