Joey Slye JAC KJoey Slye: Replaced by rookie
4h agoThe Jaguars released Slye on Tuesday.
Slye inked with Jacksonville as a free agent back in March, but he's now lost his spot on the roster to rookie sixth-round pick Cam Little. Meanwhile, Riley Patterson remains with the Jaguars as potential offseason competition for Little. Slye converted 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 32 of 35 extra-point attempts across 17 games with Washington last season.

Zay Jones JAC WRZay Jones: Released by Jacksonville
4h agoThe Jaguars released Jones on Tuesday.
Jones' release comes shortly following Jacksonville's selection of rookie Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The 29-year-old missed all but nine games last season due to a PCL injury, and despite now being healthy, his release saves the Jaguars a notable $4.2 million in cap space. In addition to Thomas, Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis round out Trevor Lawrence's clear top three wideouts, while Jones will work to find a landing spot elsewhere in the league.

Ricky Pearsall SF WR49ers' Ricky Pearsall: 2024 fantasy impact may be limited
5h agoPearsall may not see the field often as a rookie after being drafted by the 49ers, who have all three starting wideouts returning for 2024, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
San Francisco's selection of Pearsall at the tail end of the first round of the draft came as a bit of a surprise, both in terms of draft slot and roster build. The 49ers still have all three of their starting WRs from last year, and Pearsall was mostly projected as a Day 2 pick rather than Day 1. Perhaps the front office drafted the Florida product with an eye on next offseason, at which point WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are expected to hit free agency and Deebo Samuel will be entering the final year of his contract. Pearsall is an explosive talent with a good chance to put up fantasy-worthy numbers at some point during his career; it just may not happen right off the bat in a loaded 49ers offense.

Michael Gallup DAL WRRaiders' Michael Gallup: Lands in Las Vegas
18h agoGallup agreed to terms on a one-year, $3 million contract with the Raiders on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After a six-year stint in Dallas to start his career, Gallup will get a fresh start in Las Vegas. His second year with the Cowboys generated plenty of optimism, as he tallied 1,107 yards receiving to go along with six touchdowns. However, he has failed to replicate those types of numbers since. With Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers locked in as the Raiders' top pass catchers, Gallup will compete with the likes of Tre Tucker and DJ Turner, among others, for the No. 3 pass-catching role.
-
Curtis Samuel BUF WRBills' Curtis Samuel: Get competition via draft
19h agoSamuel has a new teammate in the receiving room after the Bills took Keon Coleman out of Florida State with the first pick of the second round Friday.
Samuel, signed as a free agent in March, was never going to be a No. 1 or even a No. 2 in Buffalo, but now we at least know who's been brought in ahead of him on the depth chart. It's a mild surprise the Bills chose only one receiver with their 10 draft picks, so for now the versatile Samuel likely sits No. 3 in the pecking order behind Khalil Shakir and Coleman. That said, this is a perfect offense for Samuel's skill set, and he'll be a weapon of some sort once things get going, just not the primary receiving option.
-
Shane Lemieux NYG OGSaints' Shane Lemieux: Joining up with Saints
20h agoNew Orleans signed Lemieux (biceps) on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The Giants opted not to hold on to Lemieux after the termination of his rookie contract, but he's now found another chance with the Saints. He's set to compete for a roster spot among an offensive line that underwhelmed in 2023.
-
Chas McCormick HOU LFAstros' Chas McCormick: Nursing sore hamstring
2m agoAstros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that McCormick is dealing with some hamstring soreness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Houston has yet to post their lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Cleveland, but the 29-year-old outfielder doesn't seem likely to be included. Prospect Joey Loperfido is being called up for his first taste of the big leagues, and he'll see some run in the outfield with McCormick banged up, per Espada. McCormick's injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, but he may be limited over the next few days.
-
Colin Selby KC RPRoyals' Colin Selby: Joins big club
10m agoThe Royals recalled Selby from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates in early April and will now receive his first look with the Royals. Selby appeared in 21 games (five starts) for Pittsburgh last season and had a 9.00 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB across 24 innings.
-
Andy Ibanez DET 3BTigers' Andy Ibanez: Activated from injured list
11m agoThe Tigers activated Ibanez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Ibanez wound up missing a little more than three weeks of action with a strained left hamstring. The utility player should see some starts for the Tigers against left-handed pitching.
-
Jonathan Bowlan KC SPRoyals' Jonathan Bowlan: Optioned to Triple-A
14m agoThe Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
The move comes a day after Bowlan lased just 2.2 innings in a start versus the Blue Jays, yielding four runs on six hits and three walks. Bowlan returns to Omaha, where he's posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 21 frames this season.
-
Shea Langeliers OAK CAthletics' Shea Langeliers: Productive in win
1h agoLangeliers went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a double and a walk in a win over the Pirates on Monday.
The struggling backstop experienced a rare taste of offensive success in Oakland's fourth win in the last five games. Langeliers is still sitting on a forgettable .172 average and .227 on-base percentage across 97 plate appearances. However, eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases and he has an acceptable 21.6 percent strikeout rate, offering some support for the notion that he'll be due for a turnaround once his atypically low .143 BABIP sees a boost.
-
J.J. Bleday OAK CFAthletics' JJ Bleday: On base thrice in win
1h agoBleday went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in a win over the Pirates on Monday.
Bleday, who opened the season as one of the Athletics' more consistent bats, had ironically been mired in a downturn during Oakland's recent improved stretch of play. Bleday entered Monday just 3-for-18 over the previous seven contests, but his three trips on the basepaths Tuesday represented a welcome uptick. Bleday also now has four two-baggers in the last six games, although he's now gone 24 games without a home run.
-
Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Won't practice Tuesday
2m agoClippers coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will not do anything at practice Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After sitting out Game 1 due to inflammation in his right knee, Leonard played in Game 2 and Game 3, but he looked like a shell of himself with limited mobility. Leonard was held out of Game 4 on Sunday, and it would be a big surprise if he was able to play Wednesday based on how the forward is trending. If Leonard is indeed held out, Amir Coffey would be a candidate to see an increased role.
-
Olivier-Maxence Prosper DAL SFMavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Remains out
33m agoProsper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Prosper will miss a third straight game due to a left ankle sprain. He played only one minute during Game 1 and didn't see the court in Game 2, so his prolonged absence hasn't impacted Dallas' rotation.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SGMavericks' Tim Hardaway: Questionable for Game 5
35m agoHardaway (ankle) had a setback during Tuesday's scrimmage and is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports.
Hardaway was reportedly moving really well during the scrimmage, so the Mavericks will be frustrated to see the guard suffer a setback. With this news, there may not be anymore clarity on his status until Wednesday's morning shootaround.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Expected to play Game 5
36m agoDoncic has a sprained knee and is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Doncic still put up a triple-double during Sunday's Game 4 loss, but he tweaked his right knee, which has given him problems since Game 3. The MVP candidate is expected to suit up for the critical Game 5 in Los Angeles, but his effectiveness will be something to monitor. Doncic has averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists through the first four games of the series, but he's shooting only 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

Rui Hachimura LAL PFLakers' Rui Hachimura: Ends season on high note
43m agoHachimura chipped in 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hachimura scored in double figures for the first time during the opening-round series, but it wasn't enough as the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs by the Nuggets for a second consecutive season. From Feb. 9 through April 16, Hachimura averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 31.4 minutes. He excelled as a starter during the regular season, but Hachimura's poor postseason may impact his role next season. He signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Lakers last summer.
-
Austin Reaves LAL SGLakers' Austin Reaves: Strong fourth quarter not enough
1h agoReaves closed Monday's 108-106 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes.
Reaves scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough as the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs on another game-winning shot by Jamal Murray. After a slow start to the opening-round series, Reaves averaged 20.7 points, 4.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 35.0 minutes over the final three matchups, but Los Angeles won only one of those contests. The third-year wing appeared in all 82 regular-season games and averaged 15.9 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 32.1 minutes -- all career highs. Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Reaves signed a three-year contract with a $14.9 million player option for 2026-27.

Vladislav Namestnikov WPG CJets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Not playing Tuesday
26m agoNamestnikov (face) won't play Tuesday against Colorado in Game 5, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Namestnikov suffered a fractured cheekbone in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. He has one goal, four shots on net and eight hits in four appearances this postseason. With Namestnikov unavailable and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby serving as a healthy scratch, Cole Perfetti and David Gustafsson will draw into the lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tending twine in Game 5
2h agoWoll will guard the road net Tuesday in Game 5 against Boston, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Woll will make his first start this postseason after Ilya Samsonov went 1-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in the opening four contests of the series. The 25-year-old Woll stopped all five shots he faced during Saturday's relief appearance in Game 4. He posted a mark of 0-2-1 versus the Bruins during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 12 goals on 89 shots. The Maple Leafs need a win in Game 5 to force Game 6 back in Toronto on Thursday.
-
Connor Hellebuyck WPG GJets' Connor Hellebuyck: Gets starting nod
2h agoHellebuyck will guard the home crease against Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Hellebuyck has lost three straight games, so he and the Jets will be facing elimination Tuesday. He's recorded a sub-par .870 save percentage and has allowed 13 goals in that span. Hellebuyck has yet to log a save percentage above .872 in any of the first four games of the series -- he'll likely need to be better in Game 5 in order for Winnipeg to have a chance to force Game 6.
-
Auston Matthews TOR CMaple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Awaiting medical clearance
2h agoMatthews (illness) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against the Bruins on Tuesday. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We'll see how the rest of the day goes," per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Matthews didn't stay on the ice long during the team's game-day skate, raising doubts regarding his availability. Still, if the 26-year-old California native can get the all-clear from the team doctors, he should immediately reclaim both his top-line and No. 1 power-play roles. By Matthews' standards, he has struggled offensively of late with just one goal in his last six outings.

Maxwell Crozier TB DLightning's Max Crozier: Sent down to AHL
2h agoCrozier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.
Crozier played in three of the four playoff games for Tampa Bay against the Panthers, recording four shots on goal and five hits. The 24-year-old played in 13 regular-season games, logging two assists and 13 shots on goal. He will look to propel AHL Syracuse to a potential Calder Cup Championship.
-
Emil Martinsen Lilleberg TB D
Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Headed for minors
2h agoLilleberg was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.
Lilleberg will join up with the Crunch, who are tied 1-1 in a best-of-five series against AHL Rochester. At the NHL level this season, the 23-year-old blueliner played in 37 regular-season games in which he tallied five helpers, 105 hits and 31 shots, though he is still looking for his first NHL goal.
