Izaiah Gathings KC WRIzaiah Gathings: Cut by Kansas City
5h agoThe Chiefs waived Gathings on Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Gathings inked a reserve/future deal with Kansas City back in February after being part of the team's practice squad for nearly two months to close out the 2023 campaign. He's yet to play in a regular-season game.

Jacob Copeland KC WRJacob Copeland: Cut by Kansas City
5h agoThe Chiefs waived Copeland on Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Undrafted out of Maryland last year, Copeland signed a reserve/future deal with Kansas City back in January, but the team now needs his roster spot for the latest wave of undrafted signees. Copeland has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson CLE QBBrowns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Will have followup MRI on Monday
5h agoThompson-Robinson (hip) will undergo an MRI on Monday and is expected to participate in minicamp next week, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
DTR suffered a hip subluxation against the Texans on Christmas Eve and was ruled out for the remainder of the Browns' season. His most recent MRI in March revealed progress in his rehab, and Thompson-Robinson is hoping the latest one this upcoming week will allow him to get the green light to do some on-field work with the team's rookies and fellow younger players. The Browns signed veteran QBs Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley in the offseason, so DTR is facing stiff competition for backup duties behind Deshaun Watson.

Rasheen Ali BAL RBRavens' Rasheen Ali: Right on schedule
6h agoAli (biceps) is participating in some of the Ravens' minicamp drills and is expected to be fully recovered ahead of training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
The rookie fifth-round pick ruptured his biceps tendon at the Senior Bowl back in late January, but the Marshall product is expected to be fully recovered ahead of Baltimore's training camp in August. Ali is poised to compete for a pivotal role in the backfield, as J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) and Gus Edwards are now both with the Chargers and Keaton Mitchell (knee) is still recovering after tearing his ACL in December.

Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Hopeful for training camp
8h agoHead coach John Harbaugh indicated Saturday that he expects Ali (biceps) to be good to go in time for training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Ali ruptured his biceps tendon at the Senior Bowl, but he was still selected by the Ravens in the fifth round of this year's draft. The intriguing prospect had multiple 1,000-yard seasons with Marshall, but he also missed nearly the entire 2022 campaign due to an MCL injury. When healthy, he projects to compete for a role providing depth in Baltimore's backfield behind Derrick Henry.

Ro Torrence 2005 CBSeahawks' Ro Torrence: Lands with Seahawks
1d agoSeattle signed Torrence to a contract Friday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Torrence wasn't selected in the NFL Draft in late April but will get a shot to make his case for a roster or practice-squad spot after signing with the Seahawks. The 6-foot-3 defensive back played the final two seasons of college with Arizona State and totaled 37 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) along with an interception in 2023. Torrence allowed just 20 receptions in coverage last season, the lowest total among Pac-12 cornerbacks with at least 300 snaps played in coverage during the regular season.

Esteury Ruiz OAK LFAthletics' Esteury Ruiz: Removed with wrist injury Saturday
2m agoRuiz suffered a wrist injury on a diving catch in the sixth inning of Saturday's win over the Marlins and was removed from the game, MLB.com reports.
Ruiz appeared to hurt his glove hand and remained down for a brief time following the catch, cradling his left wrist as he exited the field with team trainers. Seth Brown replaced him in left field, and Ruiz could well be headed for a day off in Sunday's series finale, at minimum.
-
Spencer Turnbull PHI SPPhillies' Spencer Turnbull: Available in relief Sunday
3m agoTurnbull will be available out of the Phillies' bullpen Sunday versus the Giants, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It could wind up being a piggyback situation with Taijuan Walker, although manager Rob Thomson didn't explicitly say that would be the case. Turnbull has earned a spot in the Phillies' rotation with a 1.67 ERA and 36:10 K:BB in 32.1 innings, but the team also wants to keep an eye on his workload since he hasn't thrown more than 56.2 innings in a season since 2019. It seems likely that he'll make another start at some point in the not-too-distant future, but it's unclear when that might be.
-
Tanner Banks CHW RPWhite Sox's Tanner Banks: Picks up first save
11m agoBanks struck out the only batter he faced to record the final out of Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals and collect his first save of the season.
The 32-year-old southpaw faced Ivan Herrera with the bases loaded and two outs after a rain delay that lasted over three hours interrupted the 10th inning, and Banks got the job done on four pitches. John Brebbia had originally gotten the call in the save situation before the delay, while Michael Kopech pitched the ninth, so Banks' usage was more due to the unusual circumstances than his prominence in the White Sox bullpen. On the season, Banks has a 5.65 ERA and 1.88 WHIP through 14.1 innings, but his 18:4 K:BB does suggest he's been unlucky so far.
-
Cristopher Sanchez PHI SPPhillies' Cristopher Sanchez: In line to start Tuesday
11m agoSanchez will start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Sanchez was available in relief for Saturday's game, but because he wasn't needed, he's now set up to start Tuesday. Meanwhile, Spencer Turnbull will be available in relief Sunday in what could wind up being a piggyback situation with Taijuan Walker. The roles of all three pitchers seem somewhat in flux.
-
Erick Fedde CHW SPWhite Sox's Erick Fedde: Folds against Cards
20m agoFedde escaped with a no-decision Saturday in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, giving up five runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander blanked St. Louis for four innings despite issuing free passes in the first, second and fourth frames, but his luck ran out in the fifth. Fortunately for Fedde, the White Sox came back to tie the game up after he left the mound before winning in the 10th. Fedde threw only 48 of 91 pitches for strikes in his shortest outing of the season, and he has walked at least three batters in three of his last five starts. He'll take a 3.46 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB through 39 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Guardians.
-
Paul Blackburn OAK SPAthletics' Paul Blackburn: Tames Miami on Saturday
25m agoBlackburn (3-1) registered the win Saturday against the Marlins, yielding just one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.
Blackburn was perfect through the first three innings and then really got to put it on cruise control after the Athletics offense spotted him a 12-0 lead. A leadoff home run by Nick Fortes in the sixth inning represented the only scoring off Blackburn. It's a nice bounce-back performance from the veteran right-hander after he allowed 13 runs over his previous three outings. Blackburn is slated to take on the Mariners in Seattle next.

Jamal Murray DEN PGNuggets' Jamal Murray: Nears 20 points in Game 1 defeat
9m agoMurray racked up 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Murray wasn't as strong as we've seen him in the past in Friday's contest, but still managed to end three points shy of the 20-point mark while ending as one of three Nuggets with 15 or more points in a losing effort. It will be key to see how Murray, who has been dealing with calf discomfort as of late, is able to perform throughout the semifinals and if his injury limits him to any extend against a talented Timberwolves squad.
-
Michael Porter Jr. DEN SFNuggets' Michael Porter: Leads from deep in 20-point Game 1
11m agoPorter finished with 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Porter led all players in Friday's contest in threes made while ending as one of two Nuggets with 20 or more points and adding a half-dozen rebounds in a losing effort. Porter has surpassed the 20-point mark in five straight playoff contests, connecting on four or more threes in three straight games.
-
Nikola Jokic DEN CNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Nears triple-double in Game 1 loss
13m agoJokic notched 32 points (11-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Jokic led all Nuggets players in scoring, rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high-tying trio of steals in a well-rounded performance that nearly resulted in a triple-double in Friday's Game 1. Jokic struggled a bit from the field, but still finished north of 30 points for the third time this postseason and concluded one assist and two board shy of a triple-double. Jokic has a tough matchup against Minnesota's big men, so it will be key to keep an eye on how he is able to perform against a strong defense in the semifinals.
-
Naz Reid MIN CTimberwolves' Naz Reid: Big fourth quarter in Game 1
16m agoReid ended Saturday's 106-99 win over Denver in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes.
Reid struggled over the first three quarters of Friday's contest, but showed up in a big way in the fourth frame while scoring 14 of his 16 points and giving the Timberwolves a boost off the bench in a winning effort. The Sixth Man of the Year ended as one of four players with 10 or more points in the road victory, notching his third game of the postseason in double figures in scoring.
-
Mike Conley MIN PGTimberwolves' Mike Conley: Top distributor in double-double
19m agoConley had 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 win over the Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Conley led all players in Friday's Game 1 in assists while ending as one of four Timberwolves in double figures in scoring and as the lone player with a double-double in a winning effort. Conley, who connected on a team-high-tying trio of threes, reached double digits in assists for the first time this postseason, having recorded at least 10 points and seven dimes in three playoff outings.
-
Anthony Edwards MIN SGTimberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Career high in Game 1 victory
22m agoEdwards supplied 43 points (17-29 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 victory over the Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Edwards did it all to lead Minnesota to a Game 1 win on the road, posting a new playoff career high in scoring while leading all players in Friday's contest in points scored in an offensive showcase. Edwards, who scored 16 points in the first quarter alone and capped the game with 12 points in the final quarter, became the first Timberwolves player to post two consecutive 40-point playoff games. If Edwards can continue to pace Minnesota the way he did in Game 1, the Timberwolves will be in a good position to steal another game on the road in Game 2.
-
Michael DiPietro BOS GBruins' Michael DiPietro: Up in NHL again
1h agoDiPietro was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
DiPietro is starting to bounce between the leagues frequently, though that may change if the Bruins don't get past the Maple Leafs in Saturday's Game 7.
-
Evan Cormier FLA GPanthers' Evan Cormier: Sent back down
1h agoCormier was reassigned to ECHL Florida on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
Cormier was with the Panthers as an extra depth option in goal, but Spencer Knight is now with the club, so Cormier's presence isn't needed. The Panthers' AHL team is out of the playoffs, but the ECHL club is still playing.
-
Auston Matthews TOR CMaple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Good to play in Game 7
4h agoMatthews (illness) will draw into the lineup for Game 7 versus the Bruins on Saturday, per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.
Matthews missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury, according to Emily Kaplan of ESPN, after exiting Game 4 due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward has a goal, three points and 17 shots in four playoff outings this year. Matthews was immensely important to the Leafs' offense during the regular season, providing 69 goals and 107 points across 81 appearances. He should see time on the top power-play unit even though he will start Saturday's contest alongside Pontus Holmberg and Calle Jarnkrok at even strength.
-
Ilya Samsonov TOR GMaple Leafs' Ilya Samsonov: Thrust into service for Game 7
4h agoSamsonov is expected to start on the road in Game 7 against Boston on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Samsonov has struggled in the first round, allowing 12 goals on 103 shots (.883 save percentage) over four outings, which led to him being pulled in favor of Joseph Woll during Game 4. Although Toronto still lost that contest 3-1, which gave Boston a 3-1 series lead, the 25-year-old Woll would start in Games 5 and 6, earning two straight wins while saving 49 of 51 shots. However, Woll is dealing with an injury, so the Leafs will have to put their hopes in Samsonov for the deciding tilt of the series.
-
Danton Heinen BOS CBruins' Danton Heinen: Not playing Saturday
4h agoHeinen (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's Game 7 versus the Maple Leafs, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Heinen will miss his second straight game with the injury, though he was labeled a game-time decision earlier Saturday by head coach Jim Montgomery. If Heinen is to play again this postseason, the Bruins will need to win Saturday.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Unavailable Saturday
4h agoWoll (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 7 against Boston on Saturday.
Woll was injured late in Toronto's 2-1 win over the Bruins on Thursday in Game 6. He has stopped 49 of 51 shots en route to winning the past two outings. With Woll out, Martin Jones will serve as Ilya Samsonov's backup in Saturday's contest.
