Christian Mahogany 2005 IOLLions' Christian Mahogany: Perfect fit in Detroit
4m agoThe Lions selected Mahogany in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 210th overall.
Mahogany gained a reputation for playing with intensity in his five years at Boston College, and he earned All-ACC honors in his last two healthy seasons. Projected as a mid-round pick, he may have slipped further than anticipated due to a torn ACL that forced him to miss the entire 2022 campaign. The Lions were likely attracted to his mean streak on the field, and he'll bring the ability to play both right and left guard to the team's offensive line.

Dylan Laube 2005 RBRaiders' Dylan Laube: Las Vegas picks up in sixth round
4m agoThe Raiders selected Laube in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 208th overall.
Laube was an extremely productive workhorse at New Hampshire, but at 5-foot-10, 206 pounds Laube has a frame more conventionally seen among third-down backs. That should suit Laube just fine -- Laube averaged more than five catches per game in his final two seasons and is clearly comfortable catching passes. Zamir White appears locked in as starter for Las Vegas and the duo of Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah both excel on passing downs, but Laube has better pure pass-catching ability than any of them.

Kamal Hadden 2005 CBChiefs' Kamal Hadden: Lands with champs in KC
8m agoThe Chiefs selected Hadden in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 211th overall.
Hadden started his career at famed JUCO, Independence Community College in Kansas. He got himself onto Tennessee's radar and made 15 starts for the Volunteers over three seasons. He has good length for a corner at 6-foot-1 but has suspect foot speed (4.57). Hadden also had a number of injuries that cost him time at Tennessee. If he can avoid the injury bug, Hadden could stick in the Kansas City secondary.

Nathaniel Watson 2005 LBBrowns' Nathaniel Watson: Lands with Cleveland
10m agoThe Browns selected Watson in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 206th overall.
Watson was an elite producer at Mississippi State, tallying 113 and 137 stops in his final two years of eligibility. He earned both All-American and All-SEC honors, but he fell down the draft board due to struggles in coverage. If Watson can latch on with a team early in his career, he could eventually become a two-down producer in the middle of a defense.
-
Joshua Karty 2005 KRams' Joshua Karty: Competing for kicker job in LA
11m agoThe Rams selected Karty in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 209th overall.
Karty converted 23 of his 27 field-goal attempts with Stanford last season with only one miss coming from within 50 yards. The rookie is expected to compete with Tanner Brown and possibly another veteran for the team's starting kicker spot to begin 2024.
-
Tylan Grable 2005 OTBills' Tylan Grable: Sixth-round pickup for Buffalo
15m agoThe Bills selected Grable in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 204th overall.
Grable (6-foot-6, 306 pounds) finished his collegiate career as an offensive tackle at UCF but had to begin his career as a walk-on at Jacksonville State after playing quarterback in high school. Although he lacks the ideal reach at tackle (just 33 and 5/8-inch arms) Grable is a gifted athlete, boasting a 4.95-second 40-yard dash and 117-inch broad jump, both of which are elite by tackle standards. The Bills will hope to channel Grable's standout tools into further skill development as he continues to learn the tackle position.

Sal Frelick MIL LFBrewers' Sal Frelick: Idle against lefty
9m agoFrelick isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
The left-handed bat of Frelick will step out of the lineup Saturday as the Brewers prepare to face lefty Carlos Rodon. Joey Wiemer will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder and bat ninth.
-
Brice Turang MIL 2BBrewers' Brice Turang: Resting against lefty
12m agoTurang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Yankees.
Turang will sit down to begin the game as left-hander Carlos Rodon prepares to start on the mound for New York. Joey Ortiz will slide over to second base as a result, allowing Owen Miller to pick up a start at the hot corner and bat seventh.
-
Jose Abreu HOU 1BAstros' Jose Abreu: Back at first base Saturday
13m agoAbreu is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's contest against the Rockies in Mexico City.
Abreu has ceded the starting first base job to Jon Singleton as of late, with the former going 1-for-21 over his last seven games. Abreu will hope to turn around his poor start to the season Saturday against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill.
-
Jake Bauers MIL 1BBrewers' Jake Bauers: Gets breather versus LHP
14m agoBauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Southpaw Carlos Rodon will start on the hill Saturday for the Yankees, meaning the lefty-hitting Bauers will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Rhys Hoskins will cover first base in his absence while William Contreras serves as Milwaukee's DH and Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate.
-
MJ Melendez KC LFRoyals' MJ Melendez: Won't start Saturday
23m agoMelendez is not in the Royals' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Melendez has gone 0-for-12 over his last four starts, reaching base once on a walk over that span. Dairon Blanco will start in left field and bat eighth against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize.
-
Janson Junk MIL RPBrewers' Janson Junk: Recalled from Triple-A
23m agoThe Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
With the Brewers down another starting pitcher following the news that Wade Miley (elbow) will need to undergo Tommy John surgery, Junk will come up from the minors to presumably fill the open spot in Milwaukee's rotation. His time in the majors will likely be brief, as Jakob Junis (shoulder/head) and DL Hall (knee) are both projected to return from the injured list within the next couple of weeks. Jared Koenig was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
-
Grayson Allen PHO SGSuns' Grayson Allen: Questionable for Game 4
1h agoAllen (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen didn't play in Game 3 of the series Friday, and his status is unclear, although the questionable tag leaves the door open for a return in what might be the final game of the Suns' season. Allen is averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting a meager 20 percent from the field in his two appearances during the current series.
-
Mitchell Robinson NY CKnicks' Mitchell Robinson: Questionable for Sunday
1h agoRobinson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
Robinson didn't participate in Saturday's practice and was spotted wearing a walking boot after Game 3 on Thursday, so his chances of playing are slim to none, given the recent developments. If that's the case, then Precious Achiuwa would operate as the primary backup behind Isaiah Hartenstein.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SGMavericks' Tim Hardaway: Doubtful to play in Game 4
1h agoHardaway is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.
Hardaway left Game 2 of the series on Tuesday after just six minutes of action and didn't feature in Game 3, so he's been extremely limited in the series. The doubtful tag isn't particularly encouraging ahead of Sunday's contest, but an official announcement should be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if he's available, he should come off the bench and his minutes could be closely monitored given his recent injury issues.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Questionable for Game 4
1h agoDoncic is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.
Doncic has been impressive for the Mavericks during the first-round matchup against the Clippers, averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game through the first three contests. Even though it's not surprising to see Doncic dealing with soreness given his workload throughout the season, the issue shouldn't keep him away from playing -- and handling his usage rage -- in Sunday's contest.
-
Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Will be questionable for Game 4
1h agoLeonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.
Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, where he was able to play 35 minutes while pouring 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, then Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.
-
Luke Kornet BOS CCeltics' Luke Kornet: Available to play Saturday
1h agoKornet (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.
The availability of Kornet means the Celtics will be at full strength for Game 3 of the series against the Heat. Kornet should see minutes off the bench, though he's likely to have a very limited role with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available.
-
Haydn Fleury TB DLightning's Haydn Fleury: Won't play Saturday
41m agoFleury (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Game 4 against Florida on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Fleury had a goal, five points, 31 hits and 40 blocks in 24 regular-season outings. He hasn't been in the lineup since April 6 because of the injury. If Fleury had been available for Game 4, he might have served as the seventh defenseman or been a healthy scratch.
-
Mikhail Sergachev TB DLightning's Mikhail Sergachev: Surprise return Saturday
1h agoSergachev (leg) was activated off long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which sets him up to return for Game 4 against Florida on Saturday.
Sergachev was previously ruled out for the entire first round, so this news is a huge surprise. However, Tampa Bay is down 3-0 in the series, so if the defenseman didn't come back now, then it might have been too late. He had two goals, 19 points, 36 hits and 70 blocks in 34 regular-season appearances. While Sergachev typically serves in a top-four capacity, his minutes might be limited in his first contest since February 7.
-
Andrei Vasilevskiy TB GLightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Game 4
1h agoVasilevskiy will protect the home net Saturday versus Florida in Game 4, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.
Vasilevskiy has gone 0-3 this postseason, surrendering nine goals on 94 shots (.904 save percentage). The Lightning need a victory Saturday to avoid a four-game sweep, and the team should get a boost from having Mikhail Sergachev (leg) back in the lineup.
-
Brenden Dillon WPG DJets' Brenden Dillon: Questionable for Sunday
1h agoDillon didn't receive any muscle or tendon damage as a result of the skate cut to his hand, which occurred during a scrum at the end of Friday's 6-2 loss to Colorado in Game 3. Although it's great news that he didn't suffer a more serious injury, the 33-year-old defenseman did require stitches and remains questionable for Game 4 versus the Avalanche on Sunday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports Saturday.
Dillon has three assists, four PIM, 12 hits and six blocks while averaging 21:04 of ice time across three playoff contests this year. He also accumulated eight goals, 20 points, 92 PIM, 241 hits and 111 blocks in 77 regular-season outings. If Dillon is forced to miss any action due to the injury, then Logan Stanley will likely draw into the lineup.
-
Derek Forbort BOS DBruins' Derek Forbort: Removed from LTIR
2h agoForbort (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Forbort sat out the final 20 games of the regular season and Boston's first three playoff contests. He will be an option to play in Game 4 against Toronto on Saturday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he served as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old blueliner earned four assists, 22 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 68 hits in 35 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.
-
Sergei Bobrovsky FLA GPanthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Facing Lightning
3h agoBobrovsky will be between the visiting pipes in Tampa Bay on Saturday in Game 4, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Bobrovsky has been solid in net to help the Panthers take a 3-0 stranglehold on the best-of-seven series. He has allowed seven goals on 71 shots (.901 save percentage) against the Lightning in the opening round. Bobrovsky also had a stellar regular season, going 37-22-6 with a 2.42 GAA and a .921 save percentage. Florida can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Game 4.
