Athletics second baseman Mark Ellis has a broken right thumb that will sideline him for up to six weeks.

Ellis had X-rays late Tuesday after getting hurt sliding while breaking up a double play in the sixth inning of an 8-7, 10-inning loss to the Kansas City Royals. He will be placed on the disabled list Thursday.
