Joey Slye JAC K
Joey Slye: Replaced by rookie
2h 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 WR
Zay Jones: Released by Jacksonville
2h 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 WR
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: 2024 fantasy impact may be limited
4h 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 WR
Raiders' Michael Gallup: Lands in Las Vegas
17h 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 WR
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Get competition via draft
17h 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 OG
Saints' Shane Lemieux: Joining up with Saints
19h 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.

Mark Canha DET LF
Tigers' Mark Canha: On bench for matinee
4m agoCanha is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Canha started the previous seven games and hit .407 with three doubles and two homers during that span, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's matinee. Riley Greene will receive a turn at designated hitter while Wenceel Perez gets a start in the outfield.
-
Austin Voth SEA RP
Mariners' Austin Voth: Dominant in first win
5m agoVoth (1-0) got the win over Atlanta on Monday, allowing a hit and striking out the side over one inning.
Asked to keep the Mariners' deficit at one run when he entered in the ninth, Voth got matters off on the wrong foot by allowing a leadoff single to Jarred Kelenic. Subsequently faced with the daunting gauntlet of Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley, Voth cranked it up several notches by striking out all three sluggers, the latter two swinging. He was then rewarded with the victory after Mitch Garver slugged a walk-off two-run home run in the home half of the frame, putting a a fitting cap on Voth's fourth straight appearance without allowing an earned run. The veteran right-hander does not yet have a hold or save, but he's now carrying an impressive 2.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 12.2 innings.
-
Carson Kelly DET C
Tigers' Carson Kelly: Starting Game 1
7m agoKelly (ribs) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus St. Louis.
Kelly has been dealing with soreness in his left ribcage recently but will start Game 1 of Tuesday's twin bill, which is his first start since April 23. Jake Rogers should be behind the plate in the nightcap.
-
Cole Tucker LAA DH
Angels' Cole Tucker: Swipes bag in Angels debut
8m agoTucker went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 victory versus Philadelphia on Monday.
Tucker was called up to the big club Monday afternoon and batted seventh while working as the Angels' DH. The 27-year-old made a tangible impact in his team debut, walking and stealing a base in his first plate appearance, then tying the game with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning. It's unclear how often Tucker will be in the lineup since he doesn't have an obvious path to everyday playing time.
-
Javier Baez DET SS
Tigers' Javier Baez: Sitting Game 1
10m agoBaez is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
The veteran shortstop sat for Sunday's series finale versus Kansas City and finds himself on the bench for Tuesday's matinee. Zach McKinstry is starting at shortstop, and Baez will likely rejoin the lineup for Game 2.
-
Jo Adell LAA RF
Angels' Jo Adell: Continues hot stretch
13m agoAdell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 6-5 win against the Phillies.
Adell batted out of the No. 2 spot for the first time this season and immediately made his presence felt with a solo homer in the first inning. The long ball was his second in three games, and he's knocked in five runs over that stretch. Adell has been swinging a hot bat since mid-April -- he's reached base safely in 10 straight contests and is slashing .407/.484/.815 with three home runs, eight RBI, five runs and a stolen base during that span.

Jarrett Allen CLE C
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Late addition to injury report
2m agoAllen is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic due to a right rib contusion.
Allen is a late addition to the injury report, and his availability is in jeopardy for the critical Game 5 in Cleveland. The big man has arguably been the MVP for the Cavaliers in the opening-round series, as he's averaged 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes over the first four matchups. After dominating Jonathan Isaac in the first two games, Orlando countered by moving Wendell Carter back into the starting lineup. While the Magic won the last two games with Carter as a starter, Allen has still been able to produce offensively, though his rebounding numbers haven't been as prolific as they were to start the series.
-
Kelly Oubre Jr. PHI SG
76ers' Kelly Oubre: Probable with illness
2h 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 C
76ers' Joel Embiid: Misses shootaround Tuesday
2h 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 PF
Heat's Kevin Love: Barely noticeable Monday
10h 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 SG
Heat's Duncan Robinson: Fails to score in three minutes
10h 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 PG
Heat's Patty Mills: Pops for nine points in loss
10h 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.
-
Joseph Woll TOR G
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tending twine in Game 5
30m 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 G
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Gets nod in Game 5
31m agoHellebuyck will guard the home crease against Colorado for Game 5 on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Hellebuyck has lost three straight games and will be facing elimination on Tuesday; He's recorded an .870 save percentage and allowed 13 goals in this span. The 30-year-old will need to be on his game tonight if Winnipeg has any chance of staying alive in the series. He will look to push this series back to Colorado on Thursday for Game 6.
-
Auston Matthews TOR C
Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Awaiting medical clearance
42m 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 D
Lightning's Max Crozier: Sent down to AHL
1h 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
1h 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 games in which he tallied five helpers, 105 hits and 31 shots, though he is still looking for his first NHL goal.
-
Matt Tomkins TB G
Lightning's Matt Tomkins: Reassigned to minors
1h agoTomkins was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.
Tomkins appeared in six games with the Lightning this season, recording an .892 save percentage and a 3-2-1 record. The 29-year-old will look to lead AHL Syracuse to a potential Calder Cup Championship. He will likely be the backup for Tampa Bay heading into next season.
