Jacoby Brissett ARI QBCardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to report to minicamp
7h agoBrissett is expected to report to the Cardinals' minicamp this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Brissett has been away from the team as he's been holding out to get an increase in pay for the 2026 campaign, but the quarterback will at least be in attendance this week. It's unclear how much he'll participate, but his arrival is still a notable development. Brissett is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns while throwing eight interceptions over 14 contests with Arizona.

Caleb Lohner DEN TEBroncos' Caleb Lohner: Undergoes minor procedure
17h agoLohner is expected to miss two weeks after undergoing a lower-body procedure, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Klis adds that Lohner's procedure was a routine cleanup and that he'll be fully ready for training camp. The second-year tight end spent his rookie season on the Broncos' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January. Lohner was lauded by Denver coach Sean Payton as a standout performer while participating in rookie minicamp this May, and he'll look to impress again when he's healthy this offseason.

Gus Hartwig NYJ CGus Hartwig: Gets waived from PUP list
3d agoThe Jets waived Hartwig (undisclosed) from their reserve/PUP list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Hartwig went to the Jets' PUP list after an unspecified issue caused him to fail a physical back in May, and now the team has decided to cut ties. Unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period, he's on track to become a free agent.

Sean Murphy-Bunting ARI CBCardinals' Sean Murphy-Bunting: Practicing during OTAs
3d agoMurphy-Bunting (knee) has been participating during Cardinals OTAs and has been working as a nickel corner, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Murphy-Bunting tore his ACL and also suffered some MCL damage last May and missed all of the 2025 season. Just over a year later, the veteran defender is back on the field during OTAs, and he's been taking on a different role in the nickel-corner spot. Murphy-Bunting has played mostly outside corner during his tenure in Arizona, but the team has a need in the slot with Garrett Williams expected to be out at the beginning of the campaign while recovering from a torn Achilles. Williams will presumably retake the role upon his return, but in the meantime, Murphy-Bunting should see plenty or work in the slot. He was ample experience there, having played the position frequently earlier in his career while with the Buccaneers.

Marlin Klein HOU TETexans' Marlin Klein: Dealing with hamstring issue
3d agoKlein was sidelined at the Texans' OTAs during the week after tweaking his hamstring, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Per Wilson, the injury isn't expected to keep Klein off the practice field for an extended period. The rookie second-round pick, who's competing with Foster Moreau for the No. 2 job behind Dalton Schultz, will have a chance to return to practice at some point during the Texans' mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday.

Brian Thomas Jr. JAC WRJaguars' Brian Thomas: Improving chemistry with QB1
3d agoThomas has demonstrated increased chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence during spring practices, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said during OTAs the coaching staff is "trying to get a true connection" established between Thomas and Lawrence the tandem "didn't quite have last spring or training camp." Coen said he's been "very pleased" with how Thomas approached the offseason, while Lawrence said he and the wideout have "put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, [...] and it's starting to pay off." As a rookie, the 2024 first-rounder burst onto the scene with a 87-1,282-10 line, though much of that came with then-backup Mac Jones under center. Thomas then took a notable step back in 2025, tallying 48-707-2 across 14 regular-season appearances. If Thomas is indeed able to improve his rapport with Lawrence and clean up the issues with avoided contact and dropped passes that plagued him last year, he could still boast the highest upside of any of Jacksonville's pass catchers, though Coen's willingness to spread the ball around implies hefty target competition.

Patrick Forbes ARI SPDiamondbacks' Patrick Forbes: Debuts for High-A club
2h agoForbes (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks over 2.1 innings in his first start for High-A Hillsboro on Wednesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
A first-round selection in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Forbes didn't pitch at all last summer and then had his professional debut further delayed after emerging from spring training with a flexor tendon injury. The 21-year-old righty was finally cleared to make a two-inning rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on May 27, and that appearance was the only one Forbes needed in rookie ball before being moving up to a full-season affiliate.

Adrian Del Castillo ARI DHDiamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Playing time dwindling
2h agoDel Castillo has gone 1-for-3 at the plate while making no starts and being used off the bench in just two of Arizona's last eight games.
After joining the Diamondbacks on April 3 following a brief stint on the injured list to begin the season, Del Castillo had seen fairly steady playing time against right-handed pitching between designated hitter and catcher over the ensuing two months. However, his opportunities to catch began to dry up once Gabriel Moreno coming off the IL on May 1, and Del Castillo's playing time at DH has now dwindled over the past week with Pavin Smith returning from the shelf. With Arizona signing Max Kepler to a one-year deal Sunday, Del Castillo will likely face an even more difficult path to receiving at-bats once Kepler is eligible to join the Diamondbacks on June 25 upon completing his 80-game suspension.

Jackson Chourio MIL LFBrewers' Jackson Chourio: Delivers three-hit effort in win
2h agoChourio went 3-for-6 with a pair of doubles in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Rockies.
Despite going 0-for-10 with four strikeouts in the Brewers' first two games in Colorado, Chourio maintained an aggressive approach at the plate in the finale. He swung at the first offering in each of his first four at-bats on the afternoon, reaching on a base hit to right, a double to left and another double to right before the hitting streak came to an end when he whiffed on a first-pitch changeup in the sixth inning. Chourio was one of three Brewers to finish with three hits as Milwaukee completed the series sweep.

Matthew Boyd CHC SPCubs' Matthew Boyd: Due back in rotation next weekend
3h agoBoyd (knee) has completed his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa and is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of the Cubs' three-game series in San Francisco next weekend, Matt Carlson of the Associated Press reports.
Boyd made his second and final start with Iowa on Saturday, yielding five earned runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and one walk while striking out five over five innings. Though Boyd's command was a bit off during the start, more important was the fact that he was able to build up to 83 pitches while steering clear of any setbacks with his left knee. The southpaw has been limited to just five starts with the Cubs this season while having missed three weeks in April due to a biceps strain and another four weeks due to the meniscectomy he required May 7, but his impending return from the shelf comes at an especially convenient time with Jameson Taillon set to go on the IL after straining his hamstring Sunday. Boyd should slide right into Taillon's spot in the rotation when it comes up again Friday or Saturday.

Jameson Taillon CHC SPCubs' Jameson Taillon: Ticketed for IL
3h agoCubs manager Craig Counsell said after Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Giants that Taillon (hamstring) will be headed to the 15-day injured list, Marquee Sports Network reports.
Taillon was charged with an earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters over one inning before he was forced out of his start Sunday in the top of the second due to a left hamstring strain. Counsell noted that the severity of the injury until Taillon receives imaging Monday, but the Cubs have already determined that the hamstring strain will keep the right-hander out of commission for at least the next two weeks. Javier Assad tossed 6.1 shutout innings in long relief following Taillon's departure Sunday, but Assad could end up sticking in the bullpen if Matthew Boyd (knee) is cleared to return from the 15-day IL by the time Taillon's turn in the rotation comes up next weekend in San Francisco.

Miguel Andujar SD DHPadres' Miguel Andujar: Managing hamstring issue
4h agoAndujar was removed from Sunday's contest versus the Mets in the seventh inning due to a hamstring injury, Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Andujar reached on an infield single in the bottom of the seventh frame and was removed for pinch runner Bryce Johnson. After the game, manager Craig Stammen said Andujar "tweaked his hammy a little bit" and characterized the slugger's removal as precautionary. Stammen said the team will evaluate Andujar moving forward, but it's not yet clear if he's slated to miss any time.

Devin Vassell SA SGSpurs' Devin Vassell: Consistent production continues
2d agoVassell contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to New York in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Vassell continues to play well on both ends of the floor, providing solid yet modest production. In 14 playoff appearances over the past month, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. Having lost both games at home, San Antonio will now head to New York for Games 3 and 4 looking to extend the series beyond four games.
-
Stephon Castle SA PGSpurs' Stephon Castle: Questionable decision-making
2d agoCastle closed with 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Castle was benched down the stretch, although he did return to the court for the final few plays. Despite solid production, Castle's performance was littered with lapses in judgment, primarily on the offensive end. On more than one occasion, he appeared to attack the basket without knowing what he was going to do. Both he and Victor Wembanyama were guilty of making errors, highlighting the fact that San Antonio is significantly outmatched when it comes to experience. Now trailing the series 2-0, Castle and his teammates will be looking to turn things around when the two teams meet again in New York on Monday.
-
Landry Shamet NY SGKnicks' Landry Shamet: Strong perimeter production
2d agoShamet recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Shamet landed at least three triples for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to provide the Knicks with a viable scoring option off the bench. He has now also played at least 28 minutes in three of the past four games, scoring at least 13 points in all four appearances. Now leading the series 2-0, New York will have the opportunity to wrap up the NBA Finals with back-to-back wins on its home court.
-
Mikal Bridges NY SGKnicks' Mikal Bridges: Efficient shooting continues
2d agoBridges posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 105-104 victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Bridges continues to score the ball efficiently, having now shot at least 60 percent from the field in five of his past seven appearances. After what could be considered a disappointing end to the regular season, Bridges has rediscovered his form on both ends of the floor; in nine games over the past month, he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers, shooting 59.1 percent from the floor and 94.1 percent from the line.

Victor Wembanyama SA CSpurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nets 29 points with full line
2d agoWembanyama finished with 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 105-104 Game 2 loss to the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
It was a tale of two halves for Wembanyama, who was held to just seven points in the first half before erupting for 22 after the break. However, he also committed a team-high four turnovers, and the last one proved costly, as an errant pass ricocheted off Stephon Castle's back with 9.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Still, the Spurs had a chance to pull out the win, but Wembanyama's 20-foot jumper clanked off the rim at the buzzer. The Spurs are now facing a 0-2 deficit with the series heading to New York for Game 3 on Monday.
-
Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in Game 2 win
2d agoTowns produced 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Towns did an excellent job picking his spots offensively, scoring efficiently while consistently delivering clutch baskets for the Knicks. He finished as a plus-11 in the one-point victory, helping New York take a commanding 2-0 series lead as the matchup shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Monday.

Sebastian Aho CAR LWHurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Deals two helpers in loss
1d agoAho notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
This was Aho's second multi-point effort of the postseason. He hasn't been a big contributor overall, though he has a goal and four helpers over his last five contests. The two-way center has a total of 10 points (four on the power play), 31 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 16 playoff appearances.

Jordan Martinook CAR LWHurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Sparks comeback effort
1d agoMartinook scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Martinook snapped an eight-game point drought with the tally, which sparked a run of three goals in 39 seconds for the Hurricanes. The 33-year-old winger has continued to provide good defensive work and physicality in a third-line role despite the lack of offense. He has four points, 35 shots, 35 hits, 13 blocked shots, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 16 playoff outings.
-
Taylor Hall CAR LWHurricanes' Taylor Hall: Pots goal in Game 3 loss
1d agoHall scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Hall picked up his first point of the series when he cut the deficit to 4-2 in the third period. The 34-year-old winger has had an impressive postseason while seeing steady top-six minutes. He's up to six goals, 17 points, 46 shots on net, 24 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 16 playoff outings.

Andrei Svechnikov CAR RWHurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Forces overtime in Game 3
1d agoSvechnikov scored a power-play goal on three shots, added five hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Svechnikov's tally came with 1:42 left in regulation, evening the score after the Hurricanes were down four goals after two periods. The 26-year-old winger has three goals and two assists over his last six outings. Overall, he's produced four goals, five assists, 47 shots on net, 65 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 16 playoff contests. With the Hurricanes facing some adversity in this round, Svechnikov could find himself shuffled around the lineup as head coach Rod Brind'Amour tries to push the right buttons.
-
Jordan Staal CAR CHurricanes' Jordan Staal: Stays hot Saturday
1d agoStaal scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist and doled out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Staal got the Hurricanes within a goal with the team's third tally in a span of 39 seconds in the third period. He also set up Andrei Svechnikov for the equalizer with 1:42 left in regulation. Staal has scored in three straight games, and his four points against Vegas are one shy of matching his total from the first three rounds of the postseason. He's at five goals, four assists, 28 shots on net, 77 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 16 playoff outings.

Brandon Bussi CAR GHurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Shines in relief outing
1d agoBussi stopped 18 of 19 shots in relief of Frederik Andersen in Saturday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bussi's work allowed the Hurricanes to erase a four-goal deficit in the third period. That would up being all for naught -- a Shea Theodore shot off the back boards bounced around and evaded Bussi at 5:38 of the second overtime for the deciding goal. Still, it was a positive showing for a goalie who hadn't played since April 14 versus the Islanders. Andersen has been the Hurricanes' starter throughout the playoffs, but he's struggled against Vegas, so there's a possibility head coach Rod Brind'Amour turns to Bussi in Tuesday's Game 4.
