Thursday Notes

A couple of fantasy relevant notes for you:

- Joakim Soria was activated from the DL but will not be the closer as of the moment. He's probably not worth holding on to.

- Joe Mauer will be activated for tomorrows game so get him back in your lineup.

- Both J.D. Drew and Scott Rolen will return to the lineup today.

- Santiago Casilla recorded a save for Oakland in their win over Boston. After being called up, it was assumed he would rise quickly towards the 8th or 9th inning role but, both Embree and Calero had pitched three straight nights and were probably unavailable to pitch. He's worth keeping an eye on but don't go crazy trying to add him.

- Michael Barrett didn't catch for Zambrano last night after their fight during his previous start. Barrett doesn't usually catch for him but they tried it out when Blanco went on the DL. When Zambrano is starting put in your backup catcher if you have one.
