    Broncos' Jonah Elliss: On pace with recovery
    27m ago

    Elliss (shoulder) should be fully healed by training camp, Mike Klis of 9News reports.

    Elliss underwent surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum six months ago, but he still isn't quite 100 percent. However, the Broncos' 2024 third-round selection was able to take part in walkthroughs and individual portions of the team's recent rookie minicamp. The son of former NFL player, Luther Elliss, Jonah projects to be a pass-rush specialist after recording 12 sacks in just 10 games at Utah last season.

    Lucas Havrisik: Loses spot
    1h ago

    Havrisik was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Havrisik signed a reserve/future contract with Cleveland in January after the Rams waived him. He was expected to at least have the opportunity to compete with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) and Cade York for the team's kicker job in 2024, but instead, he'll become a free agent once again.

    Corey Luciano: Cut loose from team
    2h ago

    Luciano was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Luciano was set to get a second opportunity with the 49ers after appearing in two games with the franchise last season. However, he'll now hit the open market again, to make room for swing tackle Chris Hubbard, and to keep San Francisco under the 90-man roster limit.

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: To see more touches in 2024
    2h ago

    Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday, Lions GM Brad Holmes said he "definitely would expect" Gibbs to "see more of the load" out of the backfield in 2024.

    Holmes added that he thinks Gibbs will also be even more involved in the passing game in his second season. Only seven running backs saw more targets than Gibbs' 71 in 2023, and his 52 catches were tied for the ninth-most at the position. Backfield mate David Montgomery out-carried Gibbs 219 to 182, but Gibbs had a commanding edge in the pass game with 47 more targets than the veteran. There's reason to believe Gibbs' touches will rise in 2024, but Montgomery isn't going away. This backfield will remain a one-two punch, and Montgomery is the favorite for carries when the Lions are trying to kill the clock when they have a lead. Gibbs' fantasy ceiling remains extremely high due to the overall explosive nature of Detroit's offense.

    Brown was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Brown headed to San Francisco in February after appearing in 12 games over two seasons with the Rams.

    Hubbard fills a need for San Francisco as a depth swing tackle. The veteran's 2023 campaign came to an early end Week 11 due to a biceps injury, from which he's now presumably recovered.

    The Mets will recall Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Lucchesi will be making his first big-league appearance of the season after posting a 2.58 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 38.1 innings in the minors. The 30-year-old southpaw found success with the Mets last season, but he will be tested in his first outing of 2024 by a Phillies lineup that boasts a .755 OPS.

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Promoted for Tuesday's start
    12m ago

    The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of his start against the Guardians on Tuesday.

    The right-hander is back with Texas for his third start in the big leagues. Leiter's first two outings haven't gone particularly well, as he's given up 13 runs (11 earned) on 15 hits with a 6:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings. It may only be a spot start for the 24-year-old since Nathan Eovaldi (groin) may soon be back from the injured list.

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Returns to majors
    14m ago

    The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Lands on IL
    18m ago

    The Brewers placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.

    Hoskins tweaked his hamstring while running to first base during Monday's game against Pittsburgh and had to come out of the game. He'll now miss at least the next 10 days because of his injury, likely spelling more reps at first base for Jake Bauers and Owen Miller, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

  • Caris LeVert CLE SG
    Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Questionable for Wednesday
    29m ago

    LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) on Monday night, posting a respectable stat line across 39 minutes, despite the loss. With the Cavaliers hoping to roar back from a 3-1 deficit, the questionable tag is likely just a precaution as LeVert deals with a lingering knee injury.

    Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Questionable for Game 5
    35m ago

    Allen (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Allen has missed the last seven games with a right rib contusion, but with the Cavaliers on the brink of elimination, they will hope to bring the big man back. If Allen is out, Evan Mobley will likely continue to start at center, with Isaac Okoro slotting in at power forward.

    Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Unlikely to play Wednesday
    39m ago

    Porter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Porter is expected to miss his 12 straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. While Porter's upgraded status suggests he's nearing a return, Cleveland being down 3-1 to Boston could mean the series will be over before the rookie guard can suit up again.

    Mitchell (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

  • Mike Conley MIN PG
    Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Late addition to injury report
    4h ago

    Conley is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets due to right Achilles soreness.

    Conley is a late addition to Minnesota's injury report but was active during the morning shootaround, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. The veteran point guard has averaged 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes during the postseason, so his potential absence would be a big blow in a critical road matchup. If Conley is downgraded to out, Monte Morris, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased playing time.

    Stars' Roope Hintz: Undergoing testing

    Hintz (upper body) is still being evaluated ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against Colorado, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.

    Hintz didn't return to Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 after blocking a shot late in the first period. He has generated two goals, four assists, 13 shots on net and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. If Hintz isn't available to play in Game 5, Radek Faksa or Ty Dellandrea could suit up in Wednesday's contest versus Colorado.

    Di Giuseppe, who will miss his second straight contest, is expected to rejoin the team at Wednesday's practice.

    Toews missed Monday's Game 4 due to an illness, but he's reportedly feeling better Tuesday, making it seem likely he'll return for Wednesday's must-win contest. The 30-year-old defender has collected one goal and six points through eight games this postseason.

    Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Making seventh straight start
    4h ago

    Silovs will patrol the road crease versus Edmonton in Game 5 on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Silovs was excellent in Game 4 on Sunday, turning aside 42 of a whopping 45 shots en route to a 4-3 victory. The Oilers appear set to split stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl between two lines Tuesday, so while Edmonton's first line won't be quite as intimidating, Silovs will presumably face a more balanced attack from the team in Game 5.

    Kreider was on the ice for three goals against in Monday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 5.

    It was a forgettable night for Kreider as he failed to register a point and went minus-3 in the contest. No other player on New York was on the ice for more than two goals against in Monday's loss. After starting the postseason with points in six of seven games, Kreider has now failed to find the scoresheet in consecutive games. The 33-year-old did have two shots on goal and four hits in 18:51 of ice time. Kreider and the Rangers will have another chance to eliminate the Hurricanes in Game 6 on Thursday.
