Diamondbacks' Rickie Weeks: Returns to lineup Friday

Weeks (ankle) is back in the lineup Friday against the Reds.

Analysis:

After being limited to bench duty for nearly a week due to an ankle sprain, Weeks will return to left field and the five-hole against lefty Brandon Finnegan. Weeks has a 300-plus point lefty/righty OPS split this season, with a .992 mark against left-handed pitching compared to a .673 mark against righties. He will likely continue to serve on the short end of a platoon moving forward.
