Rest-of-Season Projections
Overcomes rotten first inning
Kolek (3-1) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Kolek was terrible in the first inning, which is when he allowed all six runs. He allowed just three more baserunners on a hit, a walk and an error over the last 4.1 innings of his start, and the Padres' comeback effort rewarded him with a win. He was able to avoid giving up a home run for the fourth time in five starts, but he's been tagged for 15 runs (14 earned) over his last three outings. Kolek is now at a 4.11 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 30.2 innings this season. He is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain in rotation
Kolek is likely to stick in the Padres rotation for the near future after Michael King was placed on the injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Kolek figures to have a solidified spot in the rotation with King on the shelf. It was possible Kolek was going to be the odd man out sooner than later due to Yu Darvish being on a rehab assignment as he works his way back from elbow inflammation. Now with King injured, Kolek should stick around for a little while longer. Kolek has pitched to a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB in 25.1 innings thus far.
