Jemile Weeks out with slight groin tightness, Crisp back in

Jemile Weeks is out tonight with what manager Bob Melvin described as slight groin tightness, incurred on a stolen base on Tuesday night. Considering how cold it’s been here – in the 40s – and the fact the team has a day off tomorrow, Melvin figures that this is the wisest course of action. Weeks’ game relies on his legs, so no use taking any chances.

Coco Crisp, after sitting out last night with a sinus infection (also a Melvin decision based on the miserable weather), is back in and he’s batting leadoff with Weeks out.
