Joey Slye JAC KJoey Slye: Replaced by rookie
1h 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
1h 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
2h agoPearsall may not see the field often as a rookie after being drafted by the 49ers, who have all three starting wideouts returning for the 2024 campaign, 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 from a draft slot and roster build standpoint. The 49ers currently have all three of its starting wide receivers under contract for the 2024 season, so the team's first selection may not receive enough playing time to make a significant fantasy impact as a rookie. Perhaps the front office drafted the Florida product with an eye on next offseason, when current starters Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are expected to hit free agency. Pearsall is an explosive talent who projects to put up fantasy numbers at some point during his career, it just may not happen right off the bat on a loaded 49ers offense.

Michael Gallup DAL WRRaiders' Michael Gallup: Lands in Las Vegas
16h 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
16h 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
17h 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.
-
Josh Winder MIN RPTwins' Josh Winder: Starting rehab assignment
4m agoWinder (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers on Tuesday, team broadcaster John Vittas reports.
Winder is on the Twins' 60-day injured list due to a scapular stress fracture in his right shoulder which he suffered late last season. He will be eligible for activation in late May but would not appear to be a given to be added to the major-league roster once he's deemed ready.
-
Jared Walsh TEX 1BWhite Sox's Jared Walsh: Latches on with ChiSox
26m agoWalsh signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Walsh elected free agency after being removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster earlier this month. The 30-year-old hit just .226/.317/.321 with one home run through 60 plate appearances with Texas. He'll go to extended spring training for now before eventually reporting to Triple-A Charlotte, where he'll give the White Sox some veteran protection at first base.
-
Cade Horton CHC SPCubs' Cade Horton: Moving up to Triple-A
39m agoHorton has been promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.
Horton threw only 16.1 frames across four starts with Tennessee but was dominant in those innings, posting a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB. The top prospect is coming off a 2023 campaign which saw him collect a 2.65 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 117:27 K:BB over 88.1 innings. Horton is likely to push to debut for the Cubs in 2024.

Jesse Winker WAS LFNationals' Jesse Winker: Swipes third bag
1h agoWinker went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Marlins.
The 30-year-old had a busy day despite his lack of success with the bat, drawing a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning, then reaching base on a fielder's choice and stealing a bag in the seventh. Winker's reached base safely in 17 of the last 19 games, slashing .278/.369/.472 over that stretch with all three of his homers and all three of his stolen bases on the season along with 13 runs and 13 RBI. With Lane Thomas (knee) and Joey Gallo (shoulder) sidelined, Winker's become the everyday starter in left field, while Eddie Rosario and Alex Call platoon in right.

Kodai Senga NYM SPMets' Kodai Senga: Hits mid-90s in bullpen
1h agoSenga (shoulder) reached the mid-90s with his fastball during Monday's bullpen against live hitters and used all of his pitches in the session, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets have been very deliberate so far with Senga's recovery from a shoulder capsule strain, but the organization's patience seems to be paying off. While the right-hander feels he will be back in the big-league rotation right around when he's first eligible to come off the IL on May 27, general manager David Stearns wouldn't sign off on that timeline, indicating Monday that he couldn't say whether Senga would be back in late May or early June. The 31-year-old is set to face live hitters two more times before beginning a rehab assignment around May 11.

Jesus Sanchez MIA RFMarlins' Jesus Sanchez: Gets benched Monday
1h agoSanchez was benched in favor of Dane Myers during the third inning of Monday's loss to the Nationals, Christina DeNicola of MLB.com reports.
The 26-year-old got the start in right field but misjudged a looping single into the gap by Alex Call, backpedaling to take the hop and then turning to joke with center fielder Jazz Chisholm about it. The lapse in attention not only allowed Call to stretch his hit into a double, it led to a thumb injury for shortstop Tim Anderson as he tried to apply the tag at second base. Manager Skip Schumaker then pinch hit for Sanchez in the bottom of the frame as part of a double switch, with Vidal Brujan taking over for Anderson. "I have literally no rules except for giving me everything you have," Schumaker said after the game. "He lost the ball in the lights. I've lost the ball in the lights many times. After that, I felt like the effort wasn't there, and so I decided to remove him from the game." The gaffe doesn't seem like it will impact Sanchez's role or workload, and the message from his manager seemed to have been received. "It was just the matter of I disrespected all my teammates," Sanchez said. "That's one of the things that actually I was not feeling well [about], because it's a terrible feeling. And I know that I'm an important piece of the team that I could help, and I took myself out of the game." Sanchez is slashing .239/.282/.328 through 24 games with two homers and a career-high four steals.

Kelly Oubre Jr. PHI SG76ers' Kelly Oubre: Probable with illness
37m agoOubre (illness) is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Oubre did not attend the morning shootaround, but the 76ers are still expecting him to play Tuesday evening. Oubre was sharp in Game 4, producing 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.
-
Joel Embiid PHI C76ers' Joel Embiid: Misses shootaround Tuesday
40m agoEmbiid (knee) sat out of Tuesday's shootaround due to a migraine, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
There's been no change to his status for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, so Embiid remains questionable to play due to his left knee soreness. Despite the questionable tag, it would be a major surprise if Embiid was held out with Philadelphia's season on the line.
-
Kevin Love MIA PFHeat's Kevin Love: Barely noticeable Monday
8h agoLove amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Monday's 102-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Love logged just six minutes, failing to have any sort of real impact against an impressive Celtics squad. At this point in his career, Love doesn't have enough in the tank to provide Miami with meaningful production. As has been the case for the last years, Love will not be a viable fantasy option next season.
-
Duncan Robinson MIA SGHeat's Duncan Robinson: Fails to score in three minutes
8h agoRobinson finished Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over three minutes.
Robinson hit rock bottom in the loss, failing to score in just three minutes of playing time. It's a far cry from what he was doing during the regular season and highlights just how unimpactful he can be. The Heat will now head back to Boston where they will attempt to extend the series beyond five games.
-
Patty Mills MIA PGHeat's Patty Mills: Pops for nine points in loss
8h agoMills closed Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes.
Mills played a few extra minutes in the loss as the Heat fell to the Celtics in Game 4. Although they managed to win away from home in Game 2, there is a decent chance this series will come to an end Wednesday. Beyond this season, it's hard to see Mills having any sustainable fantasy value.
-
Al Horford BOS CCeltics' Al Horford: Increased role Monday
8h agoHorford supplied seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Horford was forced into an increased role Monday, thanks to a calf injury to Kristaps Porzingis. While initial reports indicate that Porzingis has avoided anything serious, there is certainly a chance he will miss at least the next game. Should that be the case, Horford would likely slide into the starting lineup.
-
Shane Bowers NJ CDevils' Shane Bowers: Secures two-year deal
1h agoBowers inked a two-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.
Bowers saw action in just eight NHL games this season in which he generated zero points, seven shots and three hits while averaging 9:27 of ice time. Even in the minors, the 24-year-old center didn't offer much in the way of offensive output with a mere 14 points in 43 games for AHL Utica. Bowers should probably be expected to spend the bulk of the next two years in the minors with the occasional call-up.
-
Brayden McNabb LV DGolden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Stays warm with helper
9h agoMcNabb recorded an assist and four hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
McNabb has two goals, two assists, seven shots on net, 11 hits and 14 blocked shots over four playoff outings. His strong production at both ends of the ice has earned him a steady top-four role, and it's help to make up for relatively quiet starts to the playoffs for Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore. McNabb can't be expected to maintain this level of offense in the long run, but he's worth a look in DFS while he's got a hot stick.
-
Brett Howden LV CGolden Knights' Brett Howden: Registers helper in Game 4
9h agoHowden posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
The helper was Howden's first in four playoff outings. He's added two shots on net and 15 hits while filling a bottom-six role. Howden had 19 points, 76 shots on net, 85 hits and 51 blocked shots in 72 regular-season appearances. He can move up the lineup on occasion, but it's likely a better sign for Vegas if he sticks in the bottom six throughout the postseason.
-
Ivan Barbashev LV LWGolden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Nabs helper in loss
9h agoBarbashev registered an assist and eight hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Barbashev has an assist in three of the Golden Knights' four playoff games so far. He's added 25 hits and a plus-2 rating, offering a heavy physical game in addition to his solid offense. Barbashev continues to play alongside Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault in a top-six role.
-
Jonathan Marchessault LV CGolden Knights' Jonathan Marchessault: Gathers helper in loss
9h agoMarchessault notched an assist, seven shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Marchessault helped out on a Jack Eichel tally in the second period. Through four playoff outings, Marchessault has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-3 rating. The reigning Conn Smythe winner continues to occupy a significant role in the Golden Knights' top six, and he's delivering with steady offense and energy.
-
Michael Amadio LV CGolden Knights' Michael Amadio: Enters lineup, scores goal
9h agoAmadio scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Amadio was scratched for the first three games of the playoffs, but he drew in over Anthony Mantha in this contest. The 27-year-old Amadio was able to cash in a goal, but the rest of the Golden Knights' offense mostly struggled. He produced 14 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over a career-high 73 appearances in the regular season, but there's no guarantee Amadio will remain in the lineup consistently moving forward.
