Sam Darnold MIN QBVikings' Sam Darnold: Vikings won't rush to name starting QB
13h agoThe Vikings could begin the season with Darnold as the team's starting quarterback despite taking J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, ESPN reports. "We're not going to rush his development," said general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. "We're just going to do what's best for the Vikings in the short and long term."
Darnold signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Vikings as a short-term veteran starter or backup. It's hard to handicap when McCarthy may take over the starting job this soon after the draft, but it's notable the Vikings are trying to reduce expectations. Expect the quarterback battle for the Week 1 starting job to commence this summer. Still, odds are Darnold will only be the starter for a few weeks at most if McCarthy is healthy and making progress.

"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.

Max Meyer MIA SPMarlins' Max Meyer: Makes four-inning start at Triple-A
3m agoMeyer worked four innings in his start Saturday for Triple-A Jacksonville, striking out two while giving up four earned runs on six hits and no walks.
Meyer's results in his second start with Jacksonville were less noteworthy than the fact that he pitched at all for the Triple-A club, as the organization's decision to have him take the hill this weekend suggests that he isn't viewed as a candidate to fill the rotation spot at the big-league level that recently opened up when Jesus Luzardo (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Despite Meyer's success in his three outings with the big club earlier this season (2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 17 innings), the Marlins seem committed to keeping him on a once-a-week pitching schedule in the minors wherein he makes abbreviated starts, as the organization is keen on managing his 2024 workload coming off his August 2022 Tommy John surgery. Meyer is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point in the second half of the season, though he could still operate under some restrictions with his innings or pitch counts at that time.

Ricardo Pinto PHI RPPhillies' Ricardo Pinto: DFA'd by Philly
12m agoThe Phillies designated Pinto for assignment on Sunday.

Dylan Moore SEA LFMariners' Dylan Moore: Checks out of starting nine
16m agoMoore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
After starting each of the past four games at shortstop while producing three hits and adding two stolen bases and one run over 12 at-bats, Moore will give way to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale. Moore should still see the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the duration of J.P. Crawford's (oblique) stay on the injured list.
-
Luke Raley SEA RFMariners' Luke Raley: Draws third straight start
19m agoRaley will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Raley had started both of the last two games in left field, but he'll head over to right field in the series finale while Mitch Haniger gets the day off. Haniger appears to be entrenched as the Mariners' preferred right fielder, but the playing time in left field seems to be tilting in Raley's favor of late. Both Raley and Clase are likely to eventually lose out on opportunities in the Seattle outfield once Dominic Canzone (shoulder) returns from the injured list.
-
Cal Raleigh SEA CMariners' Cal Raleigh: Receives breather Sunday
19m agoRaleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Raleigh started the past three days after missing one contest due to dental procedure, and he'll sit Sunday with it being a day game after a night game. Seby Zavala is starting behind the plate to catch for righty Logan Gilbert.
-
Mitch Haniger SEA RFMariners' Mitch Haniger: Out of Sunday's lineup

1h agoHardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
As expected, Hardaway has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to a right ankle sprain. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for increased roles, while Jaden Hardy may crack the postseason rotation.

Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Out indefinitely
1h agoLeonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.
