Chris Godwin TB WRBuccaneers' Chris Godwin: Standing out early in camp
1h agoGodwin has impressed over the first few practices of training camp and has caught the eye of fellow star wideout Mike Evans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. "He's going to have a great year," said Evans of Godwin. "Y'all saw him today - he looks like he's in midseason form. He's making plays, going deep, looks like the 2019 Chris Godwin."
Godwin has battled injuries and underutilization in the red zone over the last few seasons, but he's still turned three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns. However, the 2017 third-round pick has just 10 touchdowns on 285 receptions in that span, the fewest scoring grabs of any player with at least 200 catches during that period. Evans himself has called for the Buccaneers to give Godwin more red-zone and downfield opportunities, and with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen now at the helm, there may be a change in how the veteran wideout is deployed.

Tavierre Thomas TB CBBuccaneers' Tavierre Thomas: Cross-training at multiple spots
2h agoThomas is seeing reps at nickelback, strong safety and free safety early in training camp, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Thomas signed with the Buccaneers this offseason after spending the last three seasons with the Texans, arriving with extensive experience playing the slot and 22 career starts overall. Thomas has already recorded two interceptions in the first three days of camp, and head coach Todd Bowles is taking advantage of the six-year veteran's versatility by having him cross-train at three positions in order to maximize his value to the secondary.

Jones was placed on the active/non-football injury list due to an undisclosed issue at the start of training camp, but he's since passed a physical and returned to practice. The right tackle will look to compete for a depth role on the Packers' offensive line during the preseason.
-

6h agoJennings (undisclosed) practiced Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jennings opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to an undisclosed issue, but he's since passed his physical and returned to the field.

Davis opened training camp on the active/non-football injury list due to an undisclosed issue, but he's since recovered and is now cleared to participate in practices and play in preseason games. The wideout signed with Philadelphia in January after spending last season on New Orleans' practice squad. He's a long shot to make the Eagles' 53-man roster out of camp.

1h agoIsbel went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Isbel is 5-for-11 over his last three games, a noticeable uptick in success for the outfielder. He's logged seven steals this season, three of which he's racked up across 15 games in July. The 27-year-old is slashing .235/.286/.387 with seven home runs, 27 RBI and 39 runs scored across 84 contests. Isbel is likely to remain in a strong-side platoon role in center field, with Garrett Hampson often entering the lineup versus southpaws.
-
Salvador Perez KC CRoyals' Salvador Perez: Goes yard in win
1h agoPerez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Perez put a bow on the Royals' six-run fifth inning with the team's lone extra-base hit of the contest. While his hot start to the season was erased when he batted .194 in June, Perez has bounced back to hit a more respectable .261 (18-for-69) over 18 contests in July. The catcher is up to 19 homers, 70 RBI, 42 runs scored, 16 doubles and a .278/.337/.474 slash line through 101 games this year.

Anthony Santander BAL RFOrioles' Anthony Santander: Homers again Friday
1h agoSantander went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.
Santander's put on quite an encore from his 13-homer June, adding seven more long balls over 19 contests in July. Six of those homers have come during his current 12-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .320 (16-for-50) with 11 RBI. The outfielder is slashing .244/.306/.528 with 68 RBI, 56 runs scored, one stolen base, 16 doubles and two triples through 98 contests overall. He's on track for a career year in the power department while hitting in the heart of Baltimore's order.

Jordan Westburg BAL 3BOrioles' Jordan Westburg: Opens scoring in loss
1h agoWestburg went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.
Westburg took Adam Mazur deep in the second inning to open the scoring. It's been a bit of a streaky month for Westburg -- he's batting .205 (16-for-78) with four homers, six RBI and a 3:16 BB:K over 19 contests in July. The infielder is at a .267/.314/.491 slash line with 17 homers, 54 RBI, 51 runs scored and six stolen bases through 96 games overall. His playing time isn't in danger yet, but an extended slump by Westburg could open the door for Connor Norby or Ramon Urias to claim a larger role.
-
Craig Kimbrel BAL RPOrioles' Craig Kimbrel: Falters in non-save situation
1h agoKimbrel (6-3) took the loss Friday versus the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and striking out one over one inning.
Kimbrel's going through another bout of poor pitching -- he's allowed eight runs (six earned) over his last 3.2 innings, taking two blown saves in that span. Friday's collapse came in a tied game, as he was taken deep by Jurickson Profar for a two-run home run. Kimbrel is now at a 3.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB over 38 innings with 23 saves, four holds and six blown saves this year. If his struggles continue, he may be moved to low-leverage assignments briefly as he was in late April and early May. Should that happen, Yennier Cano, Jacob Webb and Seranthony Dominguez would be candidates to pick up the slack in the ninth inning.

Heliot Ramos SF CFGiants' Heliot Ramos: Homers in blowout win
1h agoRamos went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a triple in Friday's 11-4 win over the Rockies.

Despite this being just his 68th game of the season, Ramos now leads the team with 15 long balls, one ahead of third baseman Matt Chapman. Ramos has added an excellent .296/.356/.519 slash line, 52 RBI, 30 runs scored, two stolen bases, 13 doubles and one triple over 298 plate appearances.

E.J. Liddell ATL SFSuns' E.J. Liddell: Traded to Phoenix

This is the second time Liddell has gotten traded in less than a month, as he was traded from New Orleans to Atlanta on June 26 as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Liddell will compete for a depth frontcourt option for the Suns, but his chances of earning a meaningful role are very slim.

Exum fractured part of his right index finger against France in an exhibition and will likely miss Australia's opening match of the Olympics on Saturday. He's also doubtful for Tuesday's matchup versus Canada. Exum has avoided surgery and is expected to suit up for Australia at some point, but even if he does play, he'll likely be limited.

He will likely be replaced on the fourth unit by Joshua Roy.

Oliver Wahlstrom NYI RWIslanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Signs one-year contract
2d agoWahlstrom penned a one-year contract with the Islanders on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wahlstrom and the Islanders avoided arbitration, agreeing to the one-year deal. Wahlstrom has been a huge disappointment since he was drafted 11th overall in 2018. He managed to score just a pair of goals and six points in 32 regular-season games in 2023-24, as he was a healthy scratch in 24 consecutive games, before seeing action in the regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh. Wahlstrom is expected to see bottom-six minutes in 2024-25, which will hamper his fantasy value.

Konecny had 33 goals and 68 points in 76 regular-season appearances last season -- both career highs. The 27-year-old will see first-line time, as well as first-unit power-play action in 2024-25, and could hit the 35-goal and 75-point mark, if he manages to remain healthy.
