Texans' Tank Dell: Sustains minor wound in shooting
1h agoThe Texans have issued a statement relaying that Dell -- who sustained a minor wound as the result of a shooting in Florida on Saturday night -- has been released from the hospital and is in good spirits.
Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Dell is expected to make a full recovery from the wound he sustained during Saturday night's incident at a nightclub in Sanford, Fla. Dell is coming off a 2023 regular-season in which he recorded a 47/709/7 receiving line in 11 games prior to sustaining a season-ending broken fibula Dec. 3.

Joshua Cephus 2005 WR
Joshua Cephus: Slated to head to Jacksonville
2h agoCephus is in line to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cephus, who spent five years with UTSA, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he recorded a school-record 1,151 receiving yards with 10 touchdowns on 89 catches in 13 games en route to earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors, Greg Luca of the San Antonio Express-News reports. With Jacksonville, the 6-2, 189-pounder has plenty of competition for a roster spot, but Cephus could potentially land a depth role or practice squad slot with a strong training camp/offseason.

Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint 2005 WR
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint: Headed to Washington as UDFA
3h agoRosemy-Jacksaint is in line to sign with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports.
This past season, his fourth with Georgia, Rosemy-Jacksaint caught 34 passes for 535 yards and four TDs in 13 games. With Washington, the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder is slated to have an opportunity to compete for a depth role behind top returning WR options Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.

Jabari Small 2005 RB
Jabari Small: In line to join Tennessee as UDFA
3h agoSmall is slated to sign with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, Nick Suss of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Small, who played his college ball with the Tennessee Volunteers, is thus in line to compete for a depth role in a Titans backfield that is currently led by Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. This past season, Small worked behind 2024 fourth-rounder Jaylen Wright, carrying 95 times for 475 yards and two TDs, while adding seven catches in 11 games.

Sam Darnold MIN QB
Vikings' Sam Darnold: Vikings won't rush to name starting QB
17h agoThe Vikings could begin the season with Darnold as the team's starting quarterback despite taking J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, ESPN reports. "We're not going to rush his development," said general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. "We're just going to do what's best for the Vikings in the short and long term."
Darnold signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Vikings as a short-term veteran starter or backup. It's hard to handicap when McCarthy may take over the starting job this soon after the draft, but it's notable the Vikings are trying to reduce expectations. Expect the quarterback battle for the Week 1 starting job to commence this summer. Still, odds are Darnold will only be the starter for a few weeks at most if McCarthy is healthy and making progress.

Trey Knox 2005 TE
Vikings' Trey Knox: Lands in Minnesota
19h agoKnox signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
After four years at Arkansas, Knox transferred to South Carolina for his fifth-year senior season. He compiled a 37-312-2 receiving line for the Gamecocks. He switched positions from wide receiver to tight end in 2021. Knox joins a tight end room that includes T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver, Johnny Mundt and Nick Muse in Minnesota.

Andrew Abbott CIN SP
Reds' Andrew Abbott: Struggles early against Texas
7m agoAbbott (1-3) was tagged with the loss after he pitched 5.1 innings, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out seven in Sunday's 4-3 defeat to the Rangers.
Abbott struggled early, surrendering a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning, including an inside-the-park homer to Wyatt Langford, which gave the Rangers a 4-0 lead. The left-hander was able to settle down after the difficult first frame, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings to end his outing. Abbott entered Sunday having given up two or fewer runs in each of his five starts in 2024, but he'll now carry a 3.27 ERA into his next projected start Saturday at home versus the Orioles.

Adolis Garcia TEX RF
Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Goes deep in win
15m agoGarcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.
Garcia opened up the scoring in Sunday's contest, taking Andrew Abbott deep for a two-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the first inning, driving in teammate Nathaniel Lowe in the process. The long-ball was his eighth of the season and third in his last six contests. The outfielder is now batting .291 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 19 runs scored and four stolen bases over 103 at-bats in 28 games this season.

Kirby Yates TEX RP
Rangers' Kirby Yates: Remains spotless, grabs fifth save
23m agoYates earned a save after he pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out a batter in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.
Yates was called upon to protect the team's 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning, working around a pair of baserunners to secure his fifth save of the season. The right-hander has now gone 5-for-5 in save opportunities this season while he has pitched 12 scoreless frames over his first 11 appearances in 2024. On top of the spotless ERA, Yates also owns a sparkling 0.50 WHIP with a 10.50 K/9 and he appears to be locked in as the Rangers' closer moving forward.
-
Wyatt Langford TEX DH
Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Secures first major-league homer
33m agoLangford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.
Langford entered Sunday homerless through his first 26 major-league contests, but that came to an end in quite the unique fashion. With one on and two out in the top of the first, the outfielder launched a high fly-ball to right center field, which ricocheted off the wall and rolled away from right fielder Jake Fraley, allowing Langford to round the bases for an inside-the-park home run. The homer was his first as a big leaguer and he's now batting .248 with 11 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base over 101 at-bats in 27 games this season.
-
Jason Foley DET RP
Tigers' Jason Foley: Earns league-leading ninth save
34m agoFoley allowed one hit and one walk over one scoreless frame to earn the save Sunday against the Royals. He struck out two.
Foley kept things interesting by allowing the first two batters to reach, but induced a ground out followed by two strikeouts to join four others with his league-leading ninth save in as many opportunities. The Tigers' closer lowered his ERA to 1.38 with a 1.23 WHIP and 13 strikeouts across 13 innings.
-
Cristian Javier HOU SP
Astros' Cristian Javier: Throws bullpen session
36m agoJavier (neck) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the injured list last Sunday with neck discomfort, but it's encouraging he's back on the mound a week later. Javier will be eligible to be activated during next weekend's three game series versus the Mariners, though it remains to be seen if he's game ready at that point.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl NO PF
Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Iffy for Monday
21m agoRobinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation.
-
Zion Williamson NO PF
Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Remains out, but making progress
26m agoWilliamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.
There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught.
-
Jamal Murray DEN PG
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Dealing with calf strain
33m agoMurray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.
Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out.
-
Reggie Jackson DEN PG
Nuggets' Reggie Jackson: Probable for Monday
33m agoJackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.
Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday.

Jalen Brunson NY PG
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Returns after brief absence
3h agoBrunson (leg) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Brunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter after appearing to bang knees with Kyle Lowry. Brunson was only in the locker room for a few minutes before being cleared to return. He's been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists through three quarters.

Jalen Brunson NY PG
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Leaves Game 4 early
3h agoBrunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to an apparent right leg injury, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.
Brunson has been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists in 34 minutes, so his potential absence in the fourth quarter could be costly. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Miles McBride figures to get plenty of run in Brunson's absence.
-
Joel Kiviranta COL LW
Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Dealing with minor injury
2m agoKiviranta missed Sunday's win over Winnipeg due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Kiviranta should be considered questionable for Game 5 on Tuesday. He has one assist while averaging 10:14 of ice time through three games this series.
-
Vladislav Namestnikov WPG C
Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Taken to hospital
23m agoNamestnikov (upper body) is being evaluated at the hospital after taking a shot off the head during Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 loss to Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Namestnikov took a Nate Schmidt slapshot off the head in the third period but was able to skate back to the locker room with some assistance, which is a positive sign. The team should have an update on Namestnikov's status after some more testing, but his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday is in doubt at this stage. He had one shot on goal in 10:05 of ice time Sunday.
-
Juuse Saros NSH G
Predators' Juuse Saros: Guarding cage Sunday
1h agoSaros will start Game 4 at home against the Canucks on Sunday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.
Saros hasn't had to do much work in this series but the Predators find themselves in a 2-1 hole. He's stopped 44 of 50 shots in three games and hasn't made more than 17 saves in any contest. Saros is just 4-4-1 with an .899 save percentage since the start of April.
-
Nicolas Hague LV D
Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Still not skating
2h agoHague (lower body) isn't expected to play Monday in Game 4 versus Dallas, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Hague, who hasn't resumed skating yet, is poised to miss his third straight contest. He supplied four goals, 17 points, 72 shots on net and 165 blocked shots in 55 appearances during the regular season. Alec Martinez will probably remain in the lineup for Game 4 due to Hague's absence.
-
Arturs Silovs VAN G
Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Starting in Game 4
3h agoSilovs will defend the road net Sunday in Game 4 against Nashville, per Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television.
With Thatcher Demko (knee) and Casey DeSmith (undisclosed) unavailable due to injuries, Silovs will make his NHL playoff debut. The 23-year-old Silovs stopped 74 of 84 shots in four NHL appearances during the 2023-24 regular season en route to a 3-0-1 record.
-
Casey DeSmith VAN G
Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Out Sunday
3h agoDeSmith (undisclosed) will not be available for Game 4 against Nashville on Sunday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television reports.
DeSmith is dealing with a mystery injury but it's reportedly not related to the hit he took from Michael McCarron in Game 3. Arturs Silovs is expected to start Game 4 on Sunday. DeSmith stopped 41 of 45 shots in his two appearances this series and should be considered questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup for the time being.
