| Player Notes |
| December 18, 2005 Rickie Weeks had his surgically repaired thumb examined recently, and he remains on target to be ready for spring training, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "The doctor said he can begin weight-lifting but cautioned against putting the thumb in a stress situation," said assistant GM Gord Ash. "He can play some catch with the thumb taped but no hitting until January." |
| October 12, 2005 Rickie Weeks underwent thumb surgery as planned Tuesday, but the results were better than Brewers officials had imagined, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Weeks' thumb will remain in a cast for six weeks, and then he'll have four weeks of physical therapy. Weeks is expected to be fully recovered when the Brewers open spring training in mid-February. |
| October 3, 2005 Although Rickie Weeks will seek a second opinion Tuesday, he likely will undergo surgery soon to repair a torn ligament at the base of his thumb, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He should require about 6-8 weeks to recover. |
| September 25, 2005 Rickie Weeks was back in the Brewers' lineup Sunday after manager Ned Yost sat him for Saturday night's game. Yost wanted to let Weeks regroup after a tough week defensively. |
| September 23, 2005 Brewers manager Ned Yost said that he has no plans to remove error-prone rookie Rickie Weeks in the late innings of close games for defensive purposes, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "If a double switch warrants it, I'll do it," Yost said. "But I ain't doing it just to take him out of games. I take it day to day, game to game, but I've also got the big picture focus in my mind of what I'm trying to accomplish." |
| September 9, 2005 The slumping Rickie Weeks, who normally bats second, was dropped to seventh in the batting order on Friday. He got the day off against Cincinnati on Wednesday, but started Friday night's game. He is batting .212 (11-for-52) in the last 14 games. |
| September 7, 2005 The Brewers don't plan to shut Rickie Weeks down early so he can have surgery to repair what apparently is a torn ligament in his left thumb, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "If he has anything done to his thumb, it's not going to be major," manager Ned Yost said. "It's not going to be a two-month or three-month rehab process. That's not going to be a huge issue or as big as people want to make it to be. We're pretty smart about this stuff. If it was anything that was real serious, we'd take care of it now." |
| September 1, 2005 The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Rickie Weeks has been playing with a sore left thumb that may require offseason surgery. The Brewers are not disclosing the nature of the injury. "There are some things from a strategic standpoint that we don't want to share, at least not at this point," assistant GM Gord Ash said. |
| July 28, 2005 Rookie Rickie Weeks was given Thursday off to help him break out of a 1-for-11 slump at the plate, according to the AP. |
| June 11, 2005 Rickie Weeks went 2-for-4 with his first major league RBI on Saturday in his first start since being called up from Triple-A Nashville. Weeks started at shortstop and batted second. |
| June 11, 2005 The Brewers recalled Rickie Weeks from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, according to the AP. He will become the team's starting second baseman. Weeks was hitting .320 with 12 home runs, 48 RBI and nine stolen bases in 203 at-bats this season at Nashville. |
| June 10, 2005 Friday's trade of Junior Spivey clears the way for the Brewers to promote Rickie Weeks to the majors to serve as the team's everyday second baseman for the rest of the season. However, it's unclear at this time if the Brewers plan to make that move. Weeks is hitting .320 with 12 home runs, 48 RBI and nine stolen bases in 203 at-bats this season at Triple-A Nashville. |
| March 28, 2005 The Brewers assigned Rickie Weeks to Triple-A Nashville on Monday. |
