Jaylin Noel HOU WRTexans' Jaylin Noel: Impresses at minicamp
22h agoNoel was a standout at the Texans' mandatory minicamp, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.
Noel reportedly connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for multiple touchdowns during team drills at mandatory minicamp, which took place from June 9-11. The 2025 third-rounder displayed impressive versatility as a rookie, suiting up for all 17 regular-season games while compiling a 26-292-2 receiving line (on 35 targets), rushing six times for 12 yards, and racking up 799 kick-return yards and 335 yards on punt returns. He enters Year 2 competing with Tank Dell (knee) and Xavier Hutchinson for receiver reps behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins, with Koch reporting that Noel currently appears to be in the lead for the No. 3 role.

Daniel Scott IND SAFColts' Daniel Scott: Participating at minicamp
2d agoScott participated in the Colts' minicamp practice Thursday.
Scott missed most of his 2025 rookie season due to a persistent knee injury. The reserve safety appears to be back to full health, however, and he'll likely slot into a rotational role in the coming season.

Josh Simmons KC OTChiefs' Josh Simmons: Involved at minicamp
2d agoSimmons was seen participating in the Chiefs' minicamp Friday, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.
The 2025 first-round pick missed multiple games during his rookie season due to personal issues and then suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 13 against the Cowboys. Simmons is now back on the field for minicamp and appears ready to protect Patrick Mahomes in the 2026 season.

Samuel Cosmi WAS OTCommanders' Sam Cosmi: Participating in OTAs
2d agoCosmi was seen participating at Commanders OTAs on Friday.
Cosmi was placed on injured reserve in late December with a concussion. The guard's presence at OTAs shows he's back to full health and ready to start the season at right guard as expected.
-
Dorian Strong BUF CBBills' Dorian Strong: Reverts to reserve list
2d agoStrong (neck) reverted to the reserve/non-football injury list Friday.
Strong had a productive rookie season, logging reps at outside cornerback throughout the first four weeks of the 2025 season before suffering a career-altering neck injury. The 2025 sixth-round pick was seen at OTAs, but he's not expected to play in 2026 due to the severity of the neck issue. Strong cleared waivers, allowing the Bills to keep him on the roster as he works toward a possible return in 2027.

Desmond Reid 2005 RBBills' Desmond Reid: Reverts to IR
2d agoReid (undisclosed) reverted to the Bills' injured-reserve list Friday after being waived Thursday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The undrafted running back from the University of Pittsburgh will have to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Bills. Reid played in seven games during his senior season at Pitt, recording 278 rushing yards and two touchdowns over 60 carries. He also recorded 23 receptions for 317 yards and two touchdowns.

Jose Ramirez CLE 3BGuardians' Jose Ramirez: Lands on IL with hamate fracture
6m agoThe Guardians placed Ramirez (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Ramirez's move to the IL was a foregone conclusion after the Guardians revealed following Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers that the seven-time All-Star was diagnosed with a left hamate bone fracture after suffering the injury on a swing in the fifth inning. Cleveland reinstated Gabriel Arias (wrist) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, and he and Daniel Schneemann are likely to serve as the primary replacements at third base while Ramirez is sidelined. The Guardians haven't provided an official target date for Ramirez's return, but recovery timelines for hamate bone fractures typically range from 4-to-8 weeks. With that in mind, Ramirez would seem likely to remain out through at least the All-Star break in mid-July.

Miles Mikolas WAS RPNationals' Miles Mikolas: Handling bulk-relief role
11m agoMikolas is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher PJ Poulin in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Mikolas will be making his sixth straight appearance as a bulk reliever, this time working behind Poulin after lefty Richard Lovelady served as the Nationals' opener in Mikolas' previous turn through the rotation Monday against the Giants. The veteran right-hander has gone 0-2 with a 4.32 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 25 innings over his last five outings.

Jarren Duran BOS LFRed Sox's Jarren Duran: Provides insurance in win
16m agoDuran went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
The Rangers made it a one-run game in the top of the eighth inning before Duran put it out of reach with a two-run blast in the bottom of the frame. The homer was 11th of the season for Duran, who clubbed nine during the month of May but entered Saturday batting .158 (6-for-38) with one RBI over his first nine games in June.
-
PJ Poulin WAS RPNationals' PJ Poulin: Working as opener Sunday
17m agoPoulin will serve as the Nationals' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Poulin will draw his eighth start of the season, and just like on the previous seven occasions, he's expected to cover no more than two innings before exiting the game. Miles Mikolas is slated to work in bulk relief behind Poulin.
-
Ceddanne Rafaela BOS CFRed Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Delivers decisive hit
24m agoRafaela went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over Texas.
Rafaela delivered a two-out, two-run single in the seventh inning which turned out to be the game-winning hit. He continued a productive stretch of offense and is 15-for-41 (.366) with two home runs and nine RBI over 10 games since the calendar flipped to June.
-
P.J. Higgins CIN CReds' P.J. Higgins: Sent back to Louisville
26m agoThe Reds optioned Higgins to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
With backup catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) returning from the injured list, Higgins was no longer needed as a depth option behind top backstop Tyler Stephenson. Following his May 17 promotion from Louisville, Higgins saw action in just eight games for the Reds and slashed .250/.294/.313 with three RBI and one run across 20 plate appearances.

Landry Shamet NY SGKnicks' Landry Shamet: Moves past leg issue
2h agoShamet re-entered Saturday's 94-90 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals with 26 seconds remaining after exiting the contest with 7:54 left in the fourth quarter due to an apparent leg injury.
Shamet was hobbled after a hard fall to the court and made a trip to the locker room to be evaluated, but he returned to the New York bench shortly thereafter and was able to get back on the court for two brief shifts at the end of the game. The veteran guard finished Saturday's contest with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound in 13 minutes. Overall, Shamet averaged 6.0 points, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 47.5 percent from downtown in 16.3 minutes per game while playing in all 19 of the Knicks' playoff games.

E.J. Liddell BKN SFE.J. Liddell: Headed overseas
2h agoLiddell reached agreement June 6 with Aris B.C. of the Greek Basketball League on a two-year contract, Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops.net reports.
The 25-year-old big man will head overseas after he spent his fourth season in the professional ranks as a two-way player with the Nets in 2025-26. He appeared in a career-high 26 games at the NBA level, averaging 5.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 13.4 minutes per contest. Liddell is scheduled to become a restricted free agent when the new league year begins July 1, but the Nets will presumably decline his qualifying offer to allow him to continue his career in Greece.

Dylan Harper SA PGSpurs' Dylan Harper: Shines bright in season-ending loss
4h agoHarper finished with 25 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 loss to New York in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Harper turned in another dynamic performance, leading the Spurs with 25 points off the bench. It was his second straight performance with at least 21 points, bringing to an end what was an impressive rookie campaign. After a solid regular season, Harper was able to increase his role during the postseason, averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per game, through 23 appearances. Looking ahead to next season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Harper carve out a 30-minute per-night role, either off the bench or as a starter.
-
Stephon Castle SA PGSpurs' Stephon Castle: Goes missing in Game 5 loss
4h agoCastle registered six points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Castle was nowhere to be seen, particularly on the offensive end, where he scored a career playoff-low six points. It highlighted the fact that San Antonio was running with a highly inexperienced lineup, although one that will certainly be better for the loss. It was an unfortunate end to what was a dynamic postseason for the sophomore, averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers through 23 appearances.
-
Josh Hart NY SFKnicks' Josh Hart: Double-doubles in Game 5 win
4h agoHart amassed 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Hart closed his season with another double-double, helping New York to its first championship since 1973. Although his scoring was, unsurprisingly, inconsistent, Hart's impact was certainly a major factor for the Knicks throughout the playoffs. In 19 postseason appearances, he averaged 10.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per contest.
-
Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Struggles in Game 5 win
5h agoTowns provided two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 23 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 94-90 victory over San Antonio in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Towns saved his worst for last, at least from a scoring perspective. He picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter, ultimately limiting him to just 23 minutes. Despite his offensive struggles, New York once again came from behind, securing another impressive road victory. The win sees New York land its first NBA title since 1973, and with it a place in history. While it was certainly a rough night for Towns, he finished the postseason with averages of 15.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 2.6 combined steals and blocks.

Carter Hart LV GGolden Knights' Carter Hart: Set to start in Game 6
20h agoHart will start at home against Carolina in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Sunday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Coaches typically don't reveal their starters during the playoffs, but John Tortorella confirmed his while defending Hart's recent performance. Although Hart has been strong in the 2026 playoffs with a 14-7 record, 2.59 GAA and .907 save percentage in 21 outings, he's surrendered four goals in each game of the finals. However, Tortorella feels the issue is that the team in front of Hart needs to play better. The Golden Knights are down 3-2 in the series, so they need to win to force a Game 7 on Wednesday.
-
Vinni Lettieri TOR CMaple Leafs' Vinni Lettieri: Three points in Game 1 win
1d agoLettieri scored twice and added an assist in AHL Toronto's 4-2 win over Chicago in Game 1 of the Calder Cup Finals on Friday.
Lettieri has maintained a point-per-game pace in the playoffs with 10 goals and 10 assists over 19 outings. He has earned four goals and three assists over seven contests since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals. Lettieri's playoff performance should help him attract a two-way deal in free agency at the start of July.
-
Nathan Clurman MON DNate Clurman: Heading to Sweden
2d agoClurman signed a one-year contract with Rogle BK of the SHL on Friday.
Clurman spent 2025-26 with AHL Laval, earning 11 points in 60 appearances. His lone NHL appearance came with the Penguins in 2024-25. The 28-year-old could still work his way back to the AHL in the future, but he's unlikely to be an NHL regular at any point.

James Malatesta CLB LWBlue Jackets' James Malatesta: Agrees to one-year contract
2d agoMalatesta signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets on Friday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

-
Jack Thompson VAN DCanucks' Jack Thompson: Inks one-year contract
2d agoThompson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Canucks on Friday.
Thompson had six goals and 25 points in 56 regular-season AHL outings between San Jose and Abbotsford in 2025-26. He began the campaign with the Sharks' minor-league affiliate, but he switched to Abbotsford after Vancouver acquired him March 5 in exchange for Jett Woo. The 24-year-old Thompson also has four goals and 10 points in 34 career regular-season NHL appearances, but he didn't log any games at the top level in 2025-26.
