Weeks will see Dr. Don Sheridan, the Phoenix-based hand specialist who last August repaired the sheath of a tendon on the outside portion of Weeks' wrist. Brewers officials categorized the visit as precautionary.

 

"We want to make sure that he gets the green light from the doctor to progress to the next level," said Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash, who indicated the "next level" involves hitting against live pitching. "There's no setback. He started to hit this week and had a little soreness, and we want to make sure it's no big deal."

Weeks swing is similar to Sheff's, if he is feeling sore now, I would imagine there is cause for concern.

 

It would not be good for the Crew to start out with Graff at 3rd and Counsel at 2b.

They'd probably need to move Hall back to the infield if that were the case. They are pretty deep in the outfield.

Rickie Weeks had a cortisone shot in his surgically repaired right wrist Monday.

Weeks, who complained of soreness upon reporting to camp, will be held out of hitting drills for the next several days.

 

I'm no Dr. but if any Cub was receiving a cortisone shot in Spring Training after having surgery on their hand, I would be worried!
