Anthony Richardson IND QB
Colts' Anthony Richardson: Sought second opinion on shoulder
16m agoColts coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday at the start of mandatory minicamp that Richardson (shoulder) visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, who previously performed surgery to address his AC joint injury, for a second opinion, but that his outlook remains unchanged, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Richardson remains a timetable to return, but Steichen previously expressed optimism that the 2023 first-round pick will be back "at some point" during training camp. Holder confirms that the team still isn't considering surgery as an option to address Richardson's injury, and that his recovery remains centered on rest and time. In the meantime, Daniel Jones will kick off mandatory minicamp as the Colts' top quarterback and face ample opportunities to lock up the Week 1 starting role as Richardson works to get back on the field.

Garrett Wilson NYJ WR
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Present for minicamp
31m agoWilson is attending the first day of New York's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Wilson continues to seek a contract extension after the Jets exercised his fifth-year option in April, but there have been no signs that the No. 1 wideout's desire for a long-term extension could impact his attendance of team activities. Now heading into his age-25 season, Wilson will spend the offseason working to build chemistry with Justin Fields, the third time in his career he's entered the year with a new quarterback under center. Despite turmoil surrounding him, Wilson has never missed a regular-season game or finished below 1,000 receiving yards since entering the league as a 2022 first-round pick. It remains to be seen how efficient Fields and the passing game will be under new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, but Wilson remains positioned as the Jets' unquestioned top receiving option and appears destined for a dominant target share.

Drake Maye NE QB
Patriots' Drake Maye: Finding stride in Year 2
35m agoMaye has looked sharp in practice of late, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com.
Per Lazar, Maye turned in another solid effort during Monday's minicamp session, continuing a trend that has seen the young QB demonstrate signs of improvement this spring as he adjusts to new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system. Though the team's practices at this stage are of the non-contact variety, Maye's progress is nonetheless encouraging, with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft noting that he's "starting to really find a stride" as next month's training camp approaches. After logging 2,276 passing yards and a 15:10 TD:INT ratio in 13 appearances as a rookie, Maye enters his second campaign as a pro entrenched as New England's franchise QB, with the 22-year-old's 2025 fantasy prospects buoyed by a series of offseason additions aimed at improving his supporting cast. While it remains to be seen how productive the team's re-tooled wideout corps will be out of the gate this season, a context that affects Maye's short-term upside, the North Carolina product's wheels could still help him land him on the fantasy lineup radar, even if the Patriots passing attack takes time to gel.

Tyreek Hill MIA WR
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Catches passes at minicamp
45m agoHill (wrist) participated in receiving drills at Day 1 of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Hill didn't participate in team drills at the start of mandatory minicamp, but it was a positive sign to see him catching passes for the first time since undergoing a pair of offseason wrist surgeries. The 31-year-old veteran remains on track to be fully cleared by the start of training camp. After tallying over 1,700 receiving yards and a combined 20 touchdowns in 2022 and 2023, Hill regressed to the tune of an 81-959-6 receiving line in 2024 despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Hill will be a value in 2025 fantasy drafts if he can bounce back to something resembling his usual form, though the days of him being a candidate to lead the league in receiving yards are likely in the past.

Josh Oliver MIN TE
Vikings' Josh Oliver: Signs three-year extension
1h agoThe Vikings signed Oliver to a three-year, $23.25 million contract on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Oliver is one of the league's better run-blocking tight ends and he filled in capably as a pass-catcher at times in 2024 for T.J. Hockenson, who didn't make his debut until Week 9. With Hockenson now fully recovered from the ACL tear he sustained in 2023, Oliver remains positioned to handle a familiar blocking role integral Minnesota's overall offense, but not in a way that translates to notable fantasy value.

Trevor Lawrence JAC QB
Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Wearing sleeve on throwing arm
2h agoJaguars head coach Liam Coen said Tuesday at the start of mandatory minicamp that Lawrence (shoulder) is wearing a sleeve on his right throwing arm due to "general soreness" related to the amount of throwing he did at voluntary OTAs last week, James Palmer of 104.3 The Fan reports.
Coen said Lawrence "feels good" and indicated that any limitations the quarterback faces at minicamp are maintenance-related, as he continues to work his way back from surgery undergone last December to address an AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder. Lawrence reportedly looked sharp at OTAs while building chemistry with his new-look wide receiver corps, which added rookie second overall pick Travis Hunter and veteran Dyami Brown in the offseason. Hunter and Brown join budding superstar Brian Thomas, who strung together a 87-1,282-10 receiving line across 17 regular-season appearances as a rookie despite Lawrence starting just 10 of those games, replacing departed veterans Christian Kirk and TE Evan Engram. All indications are that Lawrence remains on track to be fully cleared for the start of training camp,

Rafael Devers BOS DH
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Dealing with minor physical issue
13m agoRed Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Monday that Devers is dealing with a minor physical issue, Chris Henrique of the Boston Sports Journal reports.
Speculation that Devers might be injured arose when he didn't run out a grounder during Sunday's game against the Yankees. Cora didn't want to divulge exactly what Devers is dealing with, but he noted that it's "nothing major" and is something Devers will continue to play through. Devers has a .958 OPS with two home runs and a 7:8 K:BB over eight games so far in June.

Logan Evans SEA SP
Mariners' Logan Evans: Recalled to start Tuesday
23m agoThe Mariners recalled Evans from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Evans is taking the rotation spot vacated by Bryce Miller (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. The right-handed Evans has managed a 2.83 ERA in six starts with the big club this season, although he has struck out only 25 across 35 innings. It could be just a spot start for Evans, as Logan Gilbert (elbow) is due back this weekend.

Bryce Miller SEA SP
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Shelved again with inflamed elbow
26m agoThe Mariners placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation.
Miller had been scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, but after he wasn't spotted throwing his between-starts bullpen session Monday, it became clear something was amiss. Mariners manager Dan Wilson revealed after the Mariners' 11-inning loss in the series opener in Arizona that Miller was still dealing with inflammation as well as a bone spur in his right elbow, prompting Seattle to shut him down once again. Miller missed approximately three weeks of action in May due to the injury but had struggled in both of his starts upon returning from the IL, striking out just four batters and allowing eight earned runs on 11 hits, two walks and two hit batsmen over nine innings. Wilson noted that a cortisone shot during Miller's previous IL stint didn't fully relieve the discomfort in his right elbow, so the 26-year-old may require a more aggressive treatment plan and/or a lengthier shutdown period this time around. Logan Evans was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move and will take Miller's spot in the rotation beginning with Tuesday's game.

Bryce Jarvis ARI RP
Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Heading back to big leagues
39m agoThe Diamondbacks will recall Jarvis from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game versus the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Jarvis will provide a fresh bullpen arm following Monday's extra-innings victory over Seattle. The right-hander has made six relief appearances for Arizona in 2025, yielding six runs with a 9:3 K:BB across 7.1 frames.

Jeff Brigham ARI RP
Diamondbacks' Jeff Brigham: Will be sent back down
42m agoThe Diamondbacks will option Brigham to Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's contest against the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Brigham gave up three runs without recording an out in Monday's game. He will be replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Bryce Jarvis.

Ian Seymour TB SP
Rays' Ian Seymour: Sent back to Durham
1h agoThe Rays optioned Seymour to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old southpaw's first stint in the big leagues lasted just two days, but he was able to scoop up a win in his lone relief appearance in Monday's 11-inning victory over Boston. Though he was charged with a blown save after allowing an unearned run in the bottom of the 10th to tie the game at 8-8, Seymour saw the Rays score two runs for him in the top of the 11th, then kept the Red Sox off the board in the bottom of the frame to seal the victory. Since Seymour threw 28 pitches in the appearance and was unlikely to be available for the next day or two, the Rays elected to swap him off the active roster for a fresh relief arm in Mason Englert, who was recalled from Triple-A. Seymour should slot back into the rotation as he makes his return to Durham.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PG
Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Will play Game 3
9m agoHaliburton admitted to dealing with a lower leg issue, but said he will play in Game 3 Wednesday, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.
Haliburton had a noticeable limp after Game 2, which is a concern for the Pacers during the NBA Finals. The Iowa State product is coming off a 17-point performance in the loss to Oklahoma City. He's averaging 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in this series.

Darius Garland CLE PG
Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Won't be ready for start of season
1d agoGarland (toe) is likely to miss time to open the 2025-26 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
While the Cavaliers announced earlier Monday that Garland was expected to resume basketball activities by the start of training camp in October, the team also relayed that the point guard was facing a recovery timeline of 4-to-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair his left great toe. According to sources familiar with the situation, Garland's recovery program looks like it will trend closer to five months than four, which means that the point guard will miss at least a handful of games to begin the campaign. Donovan Mitchell will likely see more on-ball opportunities for whatever length of time Garland is sidelined.

Darius Garland CLE PG
Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Likely for camp following surgery
1d agoThe Cavaliers announced Monday that Garland underwent surgery on his left great toe and is expected to resume basketball activities by the start of training camp.
Garland sprained the toe late in the regular season, and the injury hindered him during the playoffs. The point guard averaged only 14.0 points and 4.0 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his final three appearances after missing a four-game stretch, which included the final two wins of Cleveland's first-round series against Miami and the first two contests of the second-round series versus Indiana. Garland was a key catalyst for the top-seeded Cavaliers during the regular season, averaging 20.6 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.7 minutes.

Pascal Siakam IND PF
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Struggles with shot
1d agoSiakam closed with 15 points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Siakam, who was named the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, has been relatively quiet against the Thunder so far. Through two games, he's averaging 17.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks, shooting a combined 10-for-26 from the field. With the series tied at one win apiece, Game 3 is set for Wednesday in Indiana.

Bennedict Mathurin IND SF
Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Puts up 14 points in loss
1d agoMathurin recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Mathurin, who scored a combined nine points in his previous two outings, was a bright spot in Sunday's loss for Indiana. He's been used pretty sparingly in the postseason with averages of 10.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes across 17 appearances. However, he may be better suited to make an impact against the Thunder with so many small-ball lineups being utilized.

Andrew Nembhard IND PG
Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Notches 11 points
1d agoNembhard racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Nembhard, who was a hero in the Game 1 win for his clutch jumper in the fourth quarter, was mostly kept in check Sunday as the Thunder evened the series at one win apiece. Nembhard has certainly made a name for himself in the postseason, posting averages of 12.8 points, 5.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 46.7 percent shooting from the field.

Evan Rodrigues FLA C
Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Big night on power play
6h agoRodrigues scored a goal and an assist Monday, both on the power play, in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
After setting up Carter Verhaeghe for what proved to be the game-winning tally late in the first period, Rodrigues wrapped up the scoring late in the third with a one-timer past Calvin Pickard. The 31-year-old has a four-game playoff point streak going, and since returning from an undisclosed injury for the final game of the second round, Rodrigues has erupted for two goals and 12 points in nine contests, including seven points (one goal, six helpers) with the man advantage.

Carter Verhaeghe FLA C
Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Two points including Game 3 winner
6h agoVerhaeghe scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist Monday in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
The 29-year-old wired the puck past Stuart Skinner from the faceoff dot late in the first period, giving Florida a 2-0 lead that the team would never relinquish. It was Verhaeghe's first goal of the Finals and his seventh of the playoffs, four of which have come with the man advantage. Through 21 postseason contests, he's piled up 20 points, 54 hits and 47 shots on net.

Sergei Bobrovsky FLA G
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Sharp in Game 3 win
6h agoBobrovsky made 32 saves Monday in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Corey Perry spoiled his shutout bid with a power-play tally early in the second period, but otherwise Bobrovsky was firmly in control after being staked to an early lead. The veteran netminder sports a 2.37 GAA and .928 save percentage through the first three games of the series, and having Bobrovsky in the crease appears to be Florida's biggest edge heading into Game 4 on Thursday.

Calvin Pickard EDM G
Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Needed in relief Monday
6h agoPickard turned aside seven of the eight shots he faced Monday after replacing Stuart Skinner early in the third period of the Oilers' 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
The game was well out of hand by the time Pickard was brought off the bench, and the one puck to get past him came with Edmonton shorthanded once again -- the third Panthers' power-play tally of the night. Skinner is wilting in the spotlight, posting an .866 save percentage through the first three games of the Finals, so Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch may have a tough choice to make when he names his starter for Game 4 on Thursday.

Stuart Skinner EDM G
Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gets hook in Game 3
6h agoSkinner stopped 18 of 23 shots Monday before being replaced by Calvin Pickard early in the third period of the Oilers' 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
The netminder got caught out of his crease trying to find a loose puck in a scrum, leading to a Brad Marchand tally just 56 seconds into the first period. While Skinner wasn't at fault for any of remaining goals he allowed -- two of which came on power plays, and one on a two-on-nothing breakaway finished off by Sam Bennett -- the early miscue set the tone for the night. Skinner's coughed up five goals in back-to-back starts and 13 total on 97 shots (.866 save percentage) through the first three games of the Finals, and Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch may have a tough choice to make when he names his starter for Game 4 on Thursday.

Stuart Skinner EDM G
Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Game 3 starter
17h agoSkinner will start in the road net for Monday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Panthers, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
Skinner returns to the crease for his 11th consecutive start after what was a tough outing for the backstop in Game 2, allowing five goals for the first time in six starts. Since claiming the starting role back, the 26-year-old has rebounded from losses extremely well, posting shutouts in both his starts following defeats. He has combined to save 48 shots in those two contests, but he might have more of a workload to deal with against a Panthers team that averages just over 28 shots on goal per game.
