    Cardinals' Tip Reiman: Should be ready for training camp
    19h ago

    Reiman (ankle) is tracking to be ready for training camp, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

    Reiman is recovering from a season-ending ankle injury suffered in early October. The 2024 third-rounder has caught nine passes in his career despite playing all 17 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2024, as well as the first four games of the 2025 campaign. When healthy, Reiman will still likely serve as the No. 2 tight end behind star Trey McBride.

    Patriots' Gabe Jacas: Hopeful for training camp
    21h ago

    The Patriots are hopeful that Jacas (knee) will be ready for the start of training camp, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Jacas remained away from the team and unsigned throughout mandatory minicamp. Head coach Mike Vrabel declined to disclose the nature of Jacas' current injury, but he noted that the rookie second-rounder is recovering from surgery. A hamstring injury held Jacas out of the 2026 NFL Combine in February and Illinois' Pro Day in March, but he worked out at his personal pro day in April. A source tells Reiss that Jacas is currently recovering from a knee procedure and that the Patriots are likely seeking injury-related financial protection within the terms of his contract.

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Logs strong minicamp
    1d ago

    Hyatt (lower body) took part in the Giants' recent mandatory minicamp and looked good at practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.

    Hyatt was limited to the side field during spring practices, but the 2023 third-round pick now appears back to full health. The 24-year-old was regularly a healthy scratch in 2025 and suited up for only 10 regular-season games, totaling eight catches for 35 yards on 14 targets. He's competing with players like Braxton Berrios, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Odell Beckham, Isaiah Hodgins, Beaux Collins (concussion) and Ryan Miller for a roster spot.

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Impresses at minicamp
    2d ago

    Noel 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.

    Scott 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.

    Simmons 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.

    Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Tending to glute injury
    7m ago

    Culpepper exited early Saturday in Triple-A St. Paul's win over Toledo due to glute tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    The 23-year-old shortstop appears ready to make his big-league debut after having thus far produced a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul, but his first order of business will be recovering from the glute injury. Per Emily Waldon of Baseball America, the Twins don't view the issue as a major concern, as Culpepper is expected to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list and return to the St. Paul lineup in 3-to-5 days.

  • Lourdes Gurriel ARI LF
    Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Poised for activation Monday
    36m ago

    The Diamondbacks are expected to reinstate Gurriel (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Angels, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Arizona plans to option outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno to clear a spot on the active roster for Gurriel, who has been shelved since May 23 due to a left hamstring strain. Gurriel looks to have made a full recovery from the injury after making three of his starts in left field during his five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, going 4-for-16 with a double and a walk during those contests.

    Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: Appears headed back to Triple-A
    45m ago

    The Diamondbacks are expected to option Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno prior to Monday's game against the Angels, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    With Jordan Lawlar recently coming back from the 60-day IL and Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) on track to return from the 10-day IL this week, Waldschmidt looks like he'll be caught up in a numbers game in the Arizona outfield. Regarded as one of the top prospects in Arizona's system, Waldschmidt submitted an .881 OPS in his first 16 games in the majors following his May 8 promotion, but he's slashed just .180/.231/.262 with a 4.6 percent walk rate and 36.9 percent strikeout rate in his 17 games since. The impending assignment to Reno should enable Waldschmidt to get a mental reset, and if he's able to resume raking in the Pacific Coast League, he may not have to wait long before earning another call-up.

  • Mike Paredes MIN RP
    Twins' Mike Paredes: Getting another start for Twins
    1h ago

    Paredes will be the Twins' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Rangers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Paredes made two long relief appearances for Minnesota before faring well in his abbreviated first major-league start last week in Detroit, striking out four over three innings of one-run ball. The 25-year-old had made seven starts and two relief appearances with Triple-A St. Paul this season, posting a 3.38 ERA and 33:8 K:BB over 34.2 innings. Paredes has not thrown more than 68 pitches in an outing at any level this season, so he's unlikely to pitch deep into Monday's contest.

    The Diamondbacks outrighted Garcia to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    Garcia passed through the waivers process unclaimed after being removed from Arizona's 40-man roster. The 33-year-old accepted an outright assignment by the Diamondbacks in May, and it appears he will again stick around in the organization.

    Triple-A Sacramento placed Santos on its 7-day injured list May 26 due to a right adductor strain, MLB.com reports.

    Santos maintains a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster but has spent most of the season at Sacramento, with whom he's turned in a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 14 innings across 12 appearances. The righty reliever is projected to return to action for Sacramento in late June or early July.

    Spurs' Mason Plumlee: Wraps up quiet campaign
    13h ago

    Plumlee posted averages of 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.6 minutes per contest across 20 regular-season appearances (three starts) between the Spurs and Hornets in 2025-26.

    Plumlee began the season with the Hornets and saw inconsistent burn before undergoing right groin surgery in late December. The 36-year-old was traded to the Thunder and subsequently waived in February, and the veteran center later joined the Spurs on a 10-day deal before signing a rest-of-season contract with the club. Plumlee appeared in just six regular-season games for San Antonio and is now slated to enter unrestricted free agency.

    Biyombo averaged single-digit minutes for the first time in his career, providing depth in a crowded center room. The veteran big man has spent the last two seasons in San Antonio and is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

    13h ago

    Waters averaged 2.4 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 7.1 minutes per tilt in 40 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign.

    Waters didn't play in any of San Antonio's last six postseason games or log more than eight minutes in any of his nine playoff appearances. The 28-year-old swingman logged double-digit minutes in just 10 of his regular-season outings and averaged a career-low mark in minutes. He's slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

    Olynyk finished the 2025-26 season with averages of 3.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 8.8 minutes per tilt in 41 regular-season games.

    Olynyk didn't see the floor in the final six games of the postseason, bringing an end to a quiet campaign for the veteran center. The 35-year-old logged double-digit minutes in just 17 of his regular-season appearances, closing with several career-worst averages. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after being traded twice last offseason.

    Diawara finished the season with a DNP-CD in all five games of the NBA Finals, and he appeared in only six games during the playoffs. The 21-year-old forward saw brief stretches of increased playing time, especially when Miles McBride missed 27 consecutive contests from Jan. 28 to March 26 due to sports hernia surgery. During that span, Diawara averaged 5.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in 14.2 minutes per game.

    25m ago

    Duehr signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with Winnipeg on Monday.

    The deal carries an average annual value of $875,000 in the NHL. Duehr spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Manitoba, picking up 17 goals and 34 points in 62 regular-season games before adding one goal and two assists in seven playoff outings. The 28-year-old also appeared in three NHL contests for Winnipeg in March, but he didn't reach the scoresheet while posting two shots on net, two blocked shots and 10 hits.

    Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Named Conn Smythe winner
    10h ago

    Staal was named the Conn Smythe winner after Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Staal was tied for 22nd in points (12) during the playoffs, but he tied for fifth in goals (eight) thanks to an impressive five-game goal streak to start the Cup Finals. He didn't score in the clincher, but Staal did enough earlier in the series to sway the voters away from Vegas' playoff points leader Mitch Marner or any of the Hurricanes' other top forwards. At 37 years and 277 days old, Staal is the oldest Conn Smythe winner in NHL history. He is under contract with the Hurricanes for one more season.

    Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Pots empty-netter in Game 6 win
    10h ago

    Ehlers scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    It's not every year that a big splash in free agency pays off, but Ehlers brought everything the Hurricanes could have asked for. His tally to seal the championship was his eighth goal of the playoffs, and he added 10 assists, 39 shots, 14 hits and a plus-9 rating over 18 appearances. He also had a 26-goal, 71-point effort -- a career-best year -- during the regular season. This was just the first campaign of a six-year deal, so expect Ehlers to be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts in the fall.

    Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Tallies Cup-clinching goal
    10h ago

    Hall scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Vegas bungled a zone entry, and Hall took a pass from Jaccob Slavin to get behind the defense. Hall made no mistake on the shot, and his goal at 3:47 of the first period was the game-winner in the Hurricanes' Cup-clinching victory. The 34-year-old had a stellar postseason with seven goals, 12 assists, 55 shots on net, 24 hits, 14 PIM, 13 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 19 appearances. Hall signed a three-year contract extension in April of 2025, so he figures to continue to be a part of the Hurricanes' middle six in 2026-27.

    Blake scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Blake had five points over six games versus Vegas in the Cup Finals. The 22-year-old winger made a name for himself in the postseason with six goals, 14 assists, 43 shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 19 appearances. Blake has already established himself as a reliable scoring winger, and he should be part of the Hurricanes' core for years to come.

    Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Clinches Stanley Cup with shutout
    10h ago

    Bussi posted a 22-save shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Bussi won the last three games of the series to finish what Frederik Andersen started. The Hurricanes' defense did its part, and Bussi handled the rest to post his first career playoff shutout in the biggest game of his life. He allowed just six goals on 87 shots (.931 save percentage) over his four playoff appearances to help the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup. After signing a three-year contract extension in February, Bussi is a virtual lock to open 2026-27 on the Hurricanes' NHL roster.
