Rays' Rickie Weeks: Earns Opening Day roster spot

Weeks was informed Tuesday that he had won an Opening Day roster spot with the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Since Weeks was attending camp as a non-roster invitee, the Rays will need to clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster. The 34-year-old earned his way onto the roster by displaying impressive pop during the spring, and is expected to serve on the smaller side of a platoon at first base with Logan Morrison. Weeks may also occasionally see at-bats at DH when Corey Dickerson is out of the lineup.
