Vederian Lowe NE OTPatriots' Vederian Lowe: Participating at OTAs
21m agoLowe (head) practiced Tuesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Lowe exited New England's season finale against the Jets due to a head injury, but the third-year pro appears to have put the injury in the rearview mirror. A sixth-round selection in 2022, Lowe saw reps ahead of 2024 third-round selection, Caedan Wallace.

Isaiah Bolden NE CBPatriots' Isaiah Bolden: Will be competing for depth role
28m agoBolden (concussion) will take part in OTAs this week, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Bolden missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a concussion that placed him on IR. The Jackson State product is now healthy though, and will be competing against several other names for a roster spot behind Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones at cornerback.

David Bakhtiari GB OTDavid Bakhtiari: On schedule for return
34m agoBakhtiari (knee) had a positive follow-up exam with expert Dr. Brian Cole, and Cole proclaimed him on schedule for a 2024 season return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers in March, but previously stated he had every intention of suiting up somewhere for the 2024 campaign, as long as he was healthy enough to do so. The two-time first-team All-Pro tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams once he can start working out for them.

Tucker Kraft GB TEPackers' Tucker Kraft: Out until training camp
1h agoCoach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Kraft (pectoral) will be sidelined until at least the start training camp, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
LaFleur said Kraft and offensive lineman Zach Tom (pectoral) will both be out until at least the start of training camp, if not longer. The nature of Kraft's injury hasn't yet been disclosed, but he was spotted with his arm in a sling Tuesday and didn't practice. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick stepped up nicely in the wake of an injury to Luke Musgrave, also a 2023 draftee. He figures to handle a complementary role in Green Bay's tight end room when healthy.

Alijah Vera-Tucker NYJ OGJets' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Still not ready
1h agoVera-Tucker (Achilles) hasn't been cleared for football activity yet, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Vera-Tucker suffered a torn Achilles tendon Oct. 8 against the Broncos and remains in the process of recovery. The veteran offensive lineman is still expected to be ready for training camp, barring any setbacks, and is fully expected to be the Jets' starter at right guard in 2024.
-
Trey Pipkins LAC OTChargers' Trey Pipkins: Gets back on field
1h agoPipkins (knee) participated during OTAs on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Pipkins left the team's season finale against the Chiefs due to a knee injury, but apparently, it was not too serious, as the Sioux Falls product is taking part in practice. The 27-year-old saw work at right tackle and also slid inside to guard Monday, while the Chargers got a look at first-round selection Joe Alt at right tackle.
-
Michael Conforto SF LFGiants' Michael Conforto: Cleared for batting practice
2m agoConforto (hamstring) has been cleared to take on-field batting practice, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Conforto landed on the 10-day injured list just over a week ago a right hamstring strain. Taking batting practice is certainly a positive step in his recovery, although running will be a bigger hurdle for him to clear and it's uncertain when he might be ready for that. Conforto is eligible for activation Wednesday, but it would appear he'll need a little more time than that.
-
Daniel Palencia CHC RPCubs' Daniel Palencia: Starting rehab assignment
3m agoPalencia (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Iowa, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Palencia was placed on the IL on May 7 with a shoulder strain and will make his first in-game appearance since sustaining the injury. It's unclear how many rehab appearances Palencia will need before being able to return.
-
Drew Smyly CHC RPCubs' Drew Smyly: Making rehab start
5m agoSmyly (hip) will make a rehab start Tuesday with High-A South Bend, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Smyly is set for his first rehab appearance since suffering a pinched nerve in his right hip back in April. It's unclear how long of a rehab stint is required, but Smyly should be on pace to return in late May or early June.
-
Blake Sabol SF CGiants' Blake Sabol: Taking seat
9m agoSabol is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
Sabol will dodge left-handed pitcher Martin Perez on Tuesday as Curt Casali fills in behind the dish and bats ninth.
-
Mike Yastrzemski SF RFGiants' Mike Yastrzemski: Idle against lefty
10m agoYastrzemski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
Yastrzemski will avoid a matchup with southpaw Martin Perez on Tuesday. Instead, Ryan McKenna will bat seventh and play right field.
-
Giancarlo Stanton NYY DHYankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Not in Tuesday's lineup
11m agoStanton is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Stanton started the previous four games and will sit Tuesday after he went 5-for-15 with two doubles and two homers during that span. Aaron Judge will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Trent Grisham starts in center field.
-
Xavier Tillman BOS CCeltics' Xavier Tillman: Won't be available for Game 1
2h agoTillman (personal) has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Tuesday.
Tillman will join Kristaps Porzingis (calf) as unavailable, but the former's absence shouldn't impact Boston's rotation, as he's appeared in just three of Boston's first 10 postseason contests. Al Horford and Luke Kornet should continue to handle all meaningful minutes at center in Game 1.
-
Xavier Tillman BOS C
Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Game 1
1d agoTillman is questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Pacers due to personal reasons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation during the playoffs, appearing in just three matchups and averaging 1.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game. While it's unclear whether he'll be available to begin the Eastern Conference Finals, his status shouldn't significantly impact the rotation.
-
Kristaps Porzingis BOS CCeltics' Kristaps Porzingis: Remains out for Game 1 of ECF
1d agoPorzingis (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Pacers.
As expected, Porzingis will remain sidelined to start the Eastern Conference Finals due to a right calf strain he suffered in Boston's opening-round series versus Miami. The Latvian big man didn't practice Monday, so it doesn't appear he's close to game action. However, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday that Boston is optimistic that Porzingis could return at some point during the series versus Indiana.
-
Kristaps Porzingis BOS C
Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Doesn't practice Monday
1d agoPorzingis (calf) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Porzingis sustained a calf injury during the first round of the playoffs and isn't expected to be available for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. His absence from practice reflects that pessimism, while Al Horford and Luke Kornet should continue to see an uptick in playing time during Tuesday's Game 1.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope DEN SGNuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Poor offensive showing Sunday
1d agoCaldwell-Pope racked up five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Caldwell-Pope scored single digits for the sixth time in the past eight games, highlighting the Nuggets' struggles when it comes to depth on the offensive end. While he continues to play a key role for Denver, his lack of production cannot be ignored when it comes to fantasy value. Looking ahead to next season, there is no reason to think he will be anything more than a situational streamer, utilized for steals and threes.
-
Jamal Murray DEN PGNuggets' Jamal Murray: Scores game-high 35 points
1d agoMurray provided 35 points (13-27 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 43 minutes during Sunday's 98-90 loss to Minnesota in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Murray did everything he could to get the Nuggets over the line but ultimately came up short. He and Nikola Jokic scored 69 of the Nuggets' 90 points, highlighting just how unimpactful their bench was. While it was a disappointing end for Murray, his production this year aligned with what fantasy managers expected coming into the season. Given they will likely be contending again next season, there is no reason to think anything changes from a fantasy perspective in 2024-25.
-
Filip Kral TOR DPenguins' Filip Kral: Signs one-year contract
18m agoKral inked a one-year, two-way deal with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
The Maple Leafs originally drafted Kral under now-Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas, so his addition to the organization shouldn't be a complete surprise. The 24-year-old defenseman spent last season playing overseas with Finnish club the Pelicans. In his 46 contests, Kral notched five goals and 32 assists. He struggled to show that level of offensive upside in previous AHL stints, so fantasy players probably don't need to jump on Kral even in dynasty formats.
-
Johnny Gruden PIT CPenguins' Johnny Gruden: Signs two-year deal
27m agoGruden penned a two-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Tuesday.
Gruden played in just 13 games at the NHL level this season in which he generated one goal on nine shots, 35 hits and five blocks while averaging 8:40 of ice time. At this point, the youngster will be hard-pressed to break into the 23-man roster full-time next season but should see his fair share of call-ups throughout the campaign.
-
Jack St. Ivany PIT D
Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Grabs three-year deal
36m agoSt. Ivany agreed to terms on a three-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
St. Ivany managed just one point in his 14 NHL appearances this season while averaging 13:42 of ice time. The 24-year-old blueliner is likely a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night this fall but should be atop the list of potential call-ups throughout the year.
-
Martin Pospisil CGY C
Flames' Martin Pospisil: Injured at World Championship
2h agoPospisil suffered an apparent upper-body injury in Slovakia's matchup with Sweden on Monday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Pospisil has been lighting it up at the international tournament with three goals and four assists. In his rookie campaign, the 24-year-old center notched eight goals and 16 helpers despite not having a significant role with the man advantage. Barring a long-term injury, Pospisil should be capable of improving on those numbers in his sophomore campaign.
-
Ryan McDonagh NSH DLightning's Ryan McDonagh: Returning to Bolts
4h agoMcDonagh was traded to the Lightning from the Predators along with a 2024 fourth-round pick in exchange for a 2025 second-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick.
McDonagh spent five seasons with the Lightning during his previous stint, logging 267 regular-season games for the club while lifting Lord Stanley's Cup twice during his stay. McDonagh figures to slot into a third pairing for the Lightning. With the acquisition of McDonagh, Tampa Bay is unlikely to re-sign Matt Dumba or Calvin de Haan.
-
Ryan Lindgren NYR DRangers' Ryan Lindgren: Missing from practice again
5h agoLindgren was absent for his third straight day due to maintenance issues, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
At this point, Lindgren's absences are becoming a concern regarding his availability for Game 1 against the Panthers on Wednesday. If the blueliner does miss any contests, it will likely result in increased ice time for Erik Gustafsson in addition to seeing Zac Jones enter the lineup for the first time since April 7 versus the Habs.
