ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Brock Osweilers 5-2 record as Denvers starter earned him a $72 million contract in Houston. Trevor Siemian went 6-1 in his first seven starts for the Broncos, garnering both criticism and kudos.Siemian threw a pick-6 against San Diego last weekend, his first interception since Sept. 18, but the Broncos prevailed 27-19 largely because the Chargers dropped four other passes that went right to them.While acknowledging that Siemians O-line didnt do him any favors and his ground game didnt help him much, coach Gary Kubiak called out his quarterback earlier this week, saying his decision-making needs to get better.On Wednesday, Kubiak tallied the votes and announced after practice that Siemians teammates had named him offensive co-captain.Thats pretty cool, to be such a young guy and in his first year of playing, Kubiak said. It tells him that they want him to lead them, regardless of what year hes in. So, he needs to continue to do that and push forward and weve got to help him.Siemian joins seventh-year wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, the longest-tenured Bronco, as offensive co-captain.It means a lot to me, to first of all be a part of this locker room, and then to know some guys think of me in that light, Siemian said. So, its a huge honor to me. Im really excited to be a part of this thing.While Siemian is settling into an expanded leadership role, his play has flat-lined after a stellar first month as Peyton Mannings surprise successor. And the Broncos desperately need him to rediscover that mojo over a daunting second-half schedule that features a single home game in November (Chiefs), December (Patriots) and January (Raiders).Siemian, the 250th overall draft pick in 2015, out-dueled top overall picks Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and Jameis Winston in his first month, but he bruised his left shoulder against Tampa Bay and missed the second half.The injury kept him out against Atlanta a week later. With rookie Paxton Lynch at quarterback, the Broncos lost to Atlanta. Four days later, a still sore Siemian was back under center and clearly compromised in Denvers loss at San Diego.Siemian looked much better 11 days later in a win over Houston and he won the rematch against the Chargers on Sunday -- but he can thank his defense for hitting Philip Rivers 17 times, deflecting 13 of his passes and picking off three others.Siemian was 20 of 38 for 276 yards with no touchdowns, a pick-6, a strip-sack and a season-worst 65.2 QB rating.I wasnt seeing things right, Siemian said.Opponents now have plenty of film to break down Siemians strengths and shortcomings, tendencies and trends.Up next is Oakland in a renewed rivalry between 6-2 teams trying to keep up with the New England Patriots for supremacy in the AFC.Hes a good young quarterback and seems to have command of the offense and Kubes is not afraid to let him throw it, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. Theyre opening games throwing the ball a bunch, so I think hes been a nice -- I dont know if you call it a pleasant surprise or not -- they probably knew what they had, but obviously there was a lot of discussion of who was going to be their quarterback. And hes come in and done a nice job for them.The Raiders proved to be the toughest team for both Manning and Osweiler last year when the Broncos were marching toward their Super Bowl title. Neither one found the end zone against Oakland.In Week 5, the Broncos won 16-10 at Oakland when cornerback Chris Harris Jr. returned an interception 74 yards for Denvers only TD as Manning was picked off twice and sacked twice.In Week 13, the Raiders rallied for a 15-12 win in Denver despite being held to 126 yards because the Broncos fumbled twice in the red zone and Osweiler was sacked five times by Khalil Mack.You certainly have to be aware of where hes at, Siemian said of Mack. And (Bruce) Irvin on the other edge is pretty good, too. So, were going to have our hands full.Game notes CB Bradley Roby was named AFC defensive player of the week after recording seven tackles, two pass breakups and a pick-6 while starting for Aqib Talib (back).

Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games.BOSTON -- The Tampa Bay Rays acquired injured Canadian reliever Jesse Crain from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in an attempt to bolster their bullpen for the stretch run in the tough AL East. The White Sox will receive players to be named or cash for the Toronto-born right hander, who is 2-3 with a 1.15 ERA in 38 appearances. He was placed on the disabled list on July 3 with a right shoulder strain. "Jesse has been one of the top relievers in the American League, not only this season but also throughout his entire tenure with the White Sox," Chicago general manager Rick Hahn said. "We cannot say enough about what Jesse has meant to our bullpen, and the positive impact hes had on our young relievers. We certainly think he has the ability to influence this years pennant race very positively for the Rays." The deal was announced before the Rays faced the division-leading Red Sox in Boston on Monday night. Tampa Bay began the day just one-half game behind Boston in the AL East. Crain was expected to fly straight to Tampa Bay, where the Rays open a two-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Hahn said Crains injury affected the market for him. The team considered waiting until he is healthy, which could be in a few weeks, and trying to get him through waivers. "The very, very high likelihood would be that he would be claimed off waivers," Hahn said. "So that obviously was not a very appealing alternative when comparred with negotiating a deal now prior to the deadline, even with the complexities involved in trying to figure out whats fair compensation for a guy currently on the DL.dddddddddddd If he had been healthy for the month of July and healthy right now, it probably would have been a very different dynamic." Chicago, which was in last place in the AL Central, had lost nine of 12 heading into Monday nights game against the Indians. "Obviously, we havent played up to expectations here," Crain told reporters in Cleveland. "So to get a chance to get healthy and pitch for a team thats (fighting for first place), theres nothing more I could ask for." Crain, 32, made the All-Star team for the first time this year but did not pitch because he was injured. He said Monday he wasnt surprised he was traded, but he is focused on trying to get healthy and help his new club. "I had an idea but you dont want to go all-in until you know for sure," he said. "Now that it is, Im excited." Crain is 45-30 with a 3.05 ERA in a 10-year career, the first seven with the Minnesota Twins. He signed with the White Sox as a free agent after the 2010 season. "Great teammates, great city, the organization has been amazing to me," Crain said. "Its a time Ill never forget. Im going to miss these guys." To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the Rays transferred pitcher Brandon Gomes (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list. ' ' '
