Mark Ellis Injury: A’s Second Baseman Comes Off DL Wednesday

With Mark Ellis coming off the DL Wednesday, an Athletic had to be excised from the 25-man roster.

Hmmm, let’s see ... Hey about the first baseman who’s been hitting like a triple-A shortstop?

Then again, if the A’s have any intention of trading Ellis -- Weeks is obviously the club’s Second Baseman of the Future -- they’ll have to showcase the veteran and just hope he starts hitting. Especially if they want to trade him to the Giants.

This is not yet confirmed, but note that Weeks was pulled from his game on Monday night after Ellis got hurt. If Ellis does indeed land on the DL, all signs point to Weeks coming up.
