Kolb won’t practice until Friday and will have to pass a test to play. Fantasy owners that took a shot with him should hold on to him for now. He had a rough go of things in Week One, but with a potential matchup against the Detroit Lions this week, he could offer some value if he starts.
What we need to remember is that this kid is just 20, and like many youngsters his age, he’s prone to mental errors like what happened Sunday. Good for Quade to have the balls to sit the kid down for a couple of games to let him refocus and owners in daily leagues will need to make an adjustment to their lineups. Having said that, I’m still expecting a big finish from Castro, so if he’s been dumped in your league — which is possible depending on how shallow a league you’re playing in — and you need a boost in BA, don’t hesitate to add the youngster.

The Cleveland Indians continue to hold their own lately, and have suddenly pulled into fourth place in the AL Central, just 6.5 games behind the reeling Tigers. Okay, so they put themselves in too big a hole in the first half for this season to matter, but third place in the Central doesn’t seem so outlandish now, and that’s something to be excited about if you’re unfortunate enough to be a fan of the Tribe.

At the age of 40, Rivera is not showing any cracks in his game and part of the reason for that is because the Yankees are being smart about his workload. He’s on pace to appear in just 61 games which would be his lowest since 2002, when he missed a good chunk of the season with injuries. Not only are opponents batting a mere .141 against him (his lowest BAA ever), but the dude is on track for the lowest WHIP and ERA of his absolutely brilliant career – a career that just seems to be getting better by the season. I think we’re all just running out of superlatives on this one…

The American League’s worst defensive team was up to its usual tricks Wednesday as two errors by the Royals led to a four-run sixth inning for Oakland – all the scoring the A’s would need to wrap up a 4-3 win. With the loss, KC has dropped into a tie for last place in the AL Central with the Indians and its play against Oakland (1-6 for the season) is just one reason why this team is once again sitting at the bottom of the division standings.
