Lideatrick Griffin 2005 WRRaiders' Lideatrick Griffin: Signs with Silver and Black
3h agoGriffin signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
"Tulu" stands at 5-foot-10 and 181 pounds and ran a 4.43 forty at the combine after leading Mississippi State in receiving with a 50-658-4 line as a senior. His main selling point for the Raiders could be his returner skills after he showed some electricity with the ball in his hands during college.

Carter Bradley 2005 QBRaiders' Carter Bradley: Finds work with Las Vegas
3h agoThe Raiders signed Bradley as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Bradley has good size at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds and spent the final two years of his college career at South Alabama following four years in Toledo's program. He threw for 5,996 yards at South Alabama, amassing 47 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. In Las Vegas, Bradley slides in at the bottom of the depth chart behind Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell and Anthony Brown.

Daijun Edwards 2005 RBSteelers' Daijun Edwards: Inks deal with Pittsburgh
3h agoThe Steelers signed Edwards as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Edwards was just a one-year starter at Georgia and overall functioned as part of a backfield committee. He concluded his four-year collegiate career with a 391-2,082-24 rushing line. Edwards is strong in pass-protection and joins a Pittsburgh backfield that is led by Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and newcomer Cordarrelle Patterson.
-
Blake Watson 2005 RBBlake Watson: Lands with Denver
4h agoWatson is slated to sign with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Watson spent five years at Old Dominion before transferring to Memphis for his super-senior season. He led the Tigers in rushing with 192-1,152-14 on the ground and added 53-480-3 as a receiver, earning All-AAC honors. Watson joins a crowded Denver backfield depth chart that includes Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Jaleel McLaughlin and fifth-round rookie Audric Estime.

Travis Etienne JAC RBJaguars' Travis Etienne: To get fifth-year option
4h agoGM Trent Baalke said Saturday that the Jaguars will exercise the fifth-year option on Etienne's rookie contract, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
The same can be said for fellow 2021 first-round pick Trevor Lawrence, which will become official by Thursday's deadline to lock in such options. After getting drafted three years ago, Etienne's pro debut was delayed due to a Lisfranc injury during the preseason in August 2021, but he's since rushed for more than 1,000 yards in both of the last two seasons while racking up 93 catches for 792 yards in 34 regular-season contests. He'll continue to lead Jacksonville's backfield for the next two campaigns ahead of Tank Bigsby once the aforementioned option is exercised.

Phil Maton TB RPRays' Phil Maton: Takes loss against White Sox
3m agoMaton (0-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit across 0.1 innings to blow the save and take the loss Saturday against the White Sox.
Maton entered the game in the 10th inning with a one-run lead and recorded the first out without incident. However, he served up a two-run home run to Andrew Benintendi one batter later to take his second loss of the campaign. The outing also increased Maton's ERA to 7.59 for the season, though the majority of that damage came from one outing. He also entered Saturday's game having turned in five consecutive scoreless appearances.
-
Ben Rortvedt TB CRays' Ben Rortvedt: On base five times
11m agoRortvedt went 3-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored Saturday against the White Sox.
Rortvedt has had a relatively even share of playing time behind the plate as compared to Rene Pinto, but Rortvedt has started three of the Rays' last four games. He had a big performance Saturday and narrowly missed his first home run of the season, which was originally ruled to have cleared the fence only to be overturned on replay. Rortvedt has benefitted from a .548 BABIP to inflate his batting average early on, though he does have a 10.2 percent walk rate across 225 career big-league plate appearances, giving him a boost in on-base leagues.
-
JoJo Romero STL RPCardinals' JoJo Romero: Earns 10th hold
32m agoRomero struck out two in a perfect inning to earn his 10th hold of the season in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.
Romero had some control issues in spring training, but they disappeared when the games started to count. He's pitched to a 1.23 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB over 14.2 innings this season. Romero is part of the Cardinals' high-leverage mix with 10 holds -- matching his total from his previous four seasons combined. He is unlikely to challenge Ryan Helsley for closing duties, but Romero is providing quality innings when called upon.
-
Andrew Kittredge STL RPCardinals' Andrew Kittredge: Up to 10 holds
1h agoKittredge allowed a hit and struck out one without walking a batter in a scoreless inning to earn his 10th hold of the season in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.
Kittredge has been excellent in a high-leverage role for the Cardinals. He's been scored on just once in 13 appearances, posting a 0.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 12 innings. Manager Oliver Marmol has gone with more clearly defined roles in the bullpen this year than in previous seasons, and Kittredge has slotted in as a strong setup man in his first year with the team.
-
Jorge Mateo BAL 2BOrioles' Jorge Mateo: Logs fourth steal
1h agoMateo went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.
Mateo has seen limited playing time this season, though he could get more looks after Jackson Holliday was sent down to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. Through 35 plate appearances, Mateo is slashing .250/.314/.406 with four steals, one RBI, five runs scored and five doubles. He's unlikely to take a full-time role from Jordan Westburg, Ramon Urias or Cedric Mullins, but Mateo offers utility value and speed while playing primarily versus left-handed pitchers.
-
Ryan Mountcastle BAL 1BOrioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Swats homer in win
1h agoMountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.
The long ball was Mountcastle's first hit in three games since he recovered from a minor knee issue. He posted multiple hits in seven of the 11 games prior to the injury. The first baseman has been solid this year, slashing .299/.364/.483 with three homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles over 99 plate appearances, though he has yet to attempt to steal a base.

LeBron James LAL SFLakers' LeBron James: Shines with 30-point game Saturday
43m agoJames ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.
-
Anthony Davis LAL CLakers' Anthony Davis: Massive stat line in Game 4 win
1h agoDavis provided 25 points (11-17 FG, 3-4 FT), 23 rebounds, six assists and one block in 42 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Davis was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to posting his first 20-point, 20-rebound performance since the win over the Bucks on March 28. Davis has been magnificent in the series despite the fact the Lakers are down 1-3, as he's scored at least 25 points and grabbed double-digit rebounds in each of the four contests. He needs to continue at a high level as a two-way threat if the Lakers want to have a shot at pulling the upset in Game 5 of the series.
-
D'Angelo Russell LAL PGLakers' D'Angelo Russell: Bounces back in Game 4 win
1h agoRussell ended Saturday's 119-108 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes.
Russell faced tons of scrutiny following a woeful effort in a Game 3 loss during which he finished scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), but he bounced back admirably and reached the 20-point mark for the second time in this series. Russell will need to carry his hot hand into Game 5 if the Lakers want to avoid elimination Monday.
-
Michael Porter Jr. DEN SFNuggets' Michael Porter: Records double-double in Game 4
1h agoPorter chipped in 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Porter was Denver's second-best player in this game, as he trailed only Nikola Jokic in scoring and rebounding while notching his second consecutive double-double in the series. Despite playing a secondary role on offense behind Jokic and Jamal Murray, Porter has scored at least 20 points while grabbing nine or more rebounds in his last three contests, a run he'll aim to continue in Game 5 on Monday.
-
Nikola Jokic DEN CNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Massive triple-double not enough
1h agoJokic closed Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes.
Jokic has two triple-doubles and two double-doubles in the current series against the Lakers, but unlike in the previous three contests, he was unable to carry Denver to victory following yet another slow start. Jokic's individual numbers have been amazing in the series, though, as he's averaging 29.0 points, 15.3 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. He'll aim to lift the Nuggets to close the series out Monday in Game 5.
-
Jamal Murray DEN PGNuggets' Jamal Murray: Scores 22 points with 23 shots
1h agoMurray racked up 22 points (9-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Murray's shooting woes continued in Game 4, as he finished with nine or fewer shots made while attempting 20-plus for the fourth consecutive contest. His numbers on the surface look good, as Murray is averaging 21.5 points per game while the Nuggets are 3-1 up in the series, but he's shooting a woeful 38 percent from the field. The Nuggets need him to be more efficient if they want to close the series out in Game 5 on Monday.
-
Ilya Lyubushkin TOR DMaple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Logs helper in loss
1h agoLyubushkin notched an assist and nine hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Lyubushkin has had a busy couple of days after making a round trip from Toronto to California to attend the birth of his daughter. The 30-year-old was able to avoid missing a game and now has two assists, 16 hits and three blocked shots over four playoff contests. Lyubushkin remains a steady part of the Maple Leafs' bottom four even as the team faces a 3-1 series deficit heading into Tuesday's Game 5.
-
Tyler Bertuzzi TOR LWMaple Leafs' Tyler Bertuzzi: Manages helper
1h agoBertuzzi picked up an assist, fired three shots on goal and added four hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Bertuzzi has a three-game point streak (one goal, two assists) after helping out on Mitch Marner's tally in the third period. Through four playoff outings, Bertuzzi has added 14 shots on net, 20 hits, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating while seeing top-six minutes.
-
Mitchell Marner TOR RWMaple Leafs' Mitchell Marner: Scores lone goal in loss
1h agoMarner scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Marner snapped a five-game goal drought with his third-period tally, but the Maple Leafs couldn't make a rally out of it. He's picked up just two points with seven shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four playoff contests, which is not enough production from one of the team's core players. Marner remains in a top-six role, but Toronto will need more out of him to keep its season alive beyond Tuesday's Game 5.
-
Joseph Woll TOR GMaple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Solid in relief outing
1h agoWoll stopped all five shots he faced in relief of Ilya Samsonov in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Woll played the third period and prevented the score from getting any worse. This was his first playoff action in 2024 after he got into four games during last year's postseason. Woll went 12-11-1 with a 2.93 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 25 regular-season appearances this year. The Maple Leafs have not announced their starting goalie for Game 5 on Tuesday yet, but it wouldn't be a shock if Woll got the nod since Samsonov has struggled against the Bruins.
-
Ilya Samsonov TOR GMaple Leafs' Ilya Samsonov: Pulled after two periods
2h agoSamsonov allowed three goals on 17 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Samsonov lasted two periods before head coach Sheldon Keefe turned to Joseph Woll for the third. Woll stopped all five shots he faced, though the Bruins didn't apply much pressure while protecting a lead. Samsonov has gone 1-3 with 12 goals allowed over four playoff contests so far, so it's fair to question how much longer he'll be the starter with the Maple Leafs entering must-win mode. Keefe declined to name a starting goalie for Tuesday's Game 5 in his postgame comments.
-
Mason Lohrei BOS D
Bruins' Mason Lohrei: Generates helper
2h agoLohrei logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
Lohrei was solid Saturday, including a play where he forced a turnover and fed James van Riemsdyk's for the Bruins' opening goal. The 23-year-old Lohrei has added two shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and four PIM over two playoff contests. It's unclear if he'll keep his spot in the lineup since Derek Forbort (undisclosed) has been cleared to play and Matt Grzelcyk also awaits an opportunity to draw into the lineup. Parker Wotherspoon and Kevin Shattenkirk could also be in danger of being scratched with the Bruins' defense corps getting healthier.
