Dante Stills ARI DTCardinals' Dante Stills: Participating in OTAs
10m agoStills (knee) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, per the Cardinals' official site.
Stills ended last season on the IR due to a knee injury. The 2023 sixth-round pick finished his rookie season with 47 tackles (18 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery over 15 games while playing 508 snaps on defense.

Wes Schweitzer NYJ OGJets' Wes Schweitzer: Back on field for OTAs
16m agoSchweitzer (calf) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, per the Jets' official site.
Schweitzer landed on the IR twice last season due to the same calf injury, but he now appears to be fully recovered. The 2016 sixth-round pick has primarily spent his career at guard, but multiple injuries led to Schweitzer playing across the offensive line, including at center.
-
Cooper Hodges JAC OTJaguars' Cooper Hodges: Back at OTAs
28m agoHodges (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Justin Lewis of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Hodges sustained a patella injury in the Jaguars' second preseason game last year. He missed the entire regular season after being placed on the IR on August 31. The 2023 seventh-round pick appears to have recovered from the injury and will compete for a depth tackle spot for the upcoming season.
-
Christian Braswell JAC CBJaguars' Christian Braswell: Returns to field
37m agoBraswell (hamstring) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Jamal Cyr of News4Jax.com reports.
Braswell appeared in three games for the Jaguars last season and logged nine snaps on special teams before landing on the IR in October due to a hamstring injury. Cyr notes that Braswell was participating in drills Tuesday, rotating with Darnell Savage and Jarrian Jones in the secondary.
-
Graham Gano NYG KGiants' Graham Gano: Kicking during OTAs
1h agoGano (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, John Schmeelk of the Giants' official site reports.
Gano played in the first eight games of the season before landing on the IR in November due to a left knee knee injury that required surgery. He was back on the field doing kicking drills during OTAs on Tuesday. Gano finished the 2023 season going 11-for-17 on field-goal attempts while making all eight of his extra-point tries.

Bryce Harper PHI 1BPhillies' Bryce Harper: Homers Tuesday
5m agoHarper went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Harper led off the fourth inning with a double before coming around to score on an Alec Bohm single, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead. Harper would then extend the lead to 3-1 in the fourth with a 422-foot solo blast off Jacob Latz, his 11th long ball of the year. After a sluggish start to the year, the 31-year-old Harper has been on fire in May, batting .359 with five home runs, 18 RBI and a 1.111 OPS in 17 games. He's boosted his slash line to .280/.388/.537 through 196 plate appearances this season.
-
Matt Vierling DET 3BTigers' Matt Vierling: Triples, drives in two Tuesday
5m agoVierling went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Royals.
Vierling picked up the start at third base and recorded his first multi-hit game in two weeks. The 27-year-old has shifted back to a utility role with Gio Urshela healthy once again, though the Tigers will continue to find spot starts for Vierling to keep the veteran Urshela healthy. Vierling's fantasy value is reduced in this setup, but he can still deliver some decent numbers on days when he's in the lineup.
-
Casey Mize DET SPTigers' Casey Mize: Gets shelled Tuesday
12m agoMize (1-3) allowed six runs on nine hits across 1.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Royals. He had no walks and struck out two.
Not walking anyone was nice, though that's about where the positives ended for Mize, who allowed a new season high in earned runs while also recording his shortest outing of the year. His previous high was five runs allowed back on May 4, but he had allowed just three total runs across 12 innings in two starts since then. Overall, the righty now has a 4.57 ERA over 45.1 innings this season, which is only slightly above his career 4.35 mark. Mize will look for a better result in his next scheduled appearance, which is currently penciled in for Sunday against the Blue Jays.
-
Jose Alvarado PHI RPPhillies' Jose Alvarado: Locks down ninth save
15m agoAlvarado earned the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Rangers got the tying run to the plate with one out in the ninth after an error and a Leody Taveras base hit. However, Alvarado would proceed to strike out Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, picking up his ninth save in a 5-2 win. While the Phillies have utilized a modified committee approach to the ninth inning, the left-handed Alvarado has established himself as their preferred closing option. His ERA sits at 3.54 with a 1.03 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings.
-
Nick Nastrini CHW SPWhite Sox's Nick Nastrini: Promotion imminent
20m agoNastrini will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to start Wednesday's game against Toronto, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Nastrini struggled mightily during his first two career MLB starts, allowing seven earned runs across eight total innings while striking out eight batters and walking seven. Since being optioned to Charlotte in late April, he's posted a 5.24 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 22.1 frames. Despite his lackluster performance, he'll be called upon to fill the open spot in Chicago's rotation and start Wednesday, pushing Mike Clevinger's next start to Thursday.
-
Ranger Suarez PHI SPPhillies' Ranger Suarez: Improves to 9-0
21m agoSuarez (9-0) earned the win Tuesday over the Rangers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings.
Suarez was stellar again Tuesday, holding Texas to a lone run on a Marcus Semien double in the third inning while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. The 28-year-old southpaw has been a revelation for the Phillies this season -- his ERA is down to a sparkling 1.36 with a 0.79 WHIP and 49:9 K:BB while earning a league-most nine wins across 10 starts (66 innings). Suarez will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend in Colorado.

Kristaps Porzingis BOS CCeltics' Kristaps Porzingis: Targeting Game 4 return
2h agoPorzingis (calf) won't play in Thursday's Game 2 against the Pacers but could return as soon as Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 27, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Porzingis has already been ruled out for Game 1 on Tuesday and seems set to miss at least the next two games of the series. In Porzingis' absence, Al Horford should continue to start at center for Boston, with Luke Kornet receiving extended playing time off the bench.
-
Mike Conley MIN PGTimberwolves' Mike Conley: Deemed questionable for Game 1
4h agoConley (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Timberwolves.
Conley continues to deal with a right soleus strain but has suited up in each of Minnesota's last two contests. The veteran guard played 38 minutes in Game 7 against Denver, so he will likely be set for a full workload if he's upgraded to available.
-
Olivier-Maxence Prosper DAL SFMavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Another absence coming
5h agoProsper (ankle) is out for Wednesday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Timberwolves.
Prosper's absence streak will extend to 12 games Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. There is no timetable for the rookie forward's return.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Likely to play Wednesday
5h agoDoncic (knee/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Timberwolves.
Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but has yet to miss a game these playoffs. The superstar guard is averaging 42.1 minutes per contest across his 12 appearances this postseason.
-
Xavier Tillman BOS CCeltics' Xavier Tillman: Won't be available for Game 1
8h 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.
-
Filip Kral TOR DPenguins' Filip Kral: Signs one-year contract
6h 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 had five goals and 37 points in 46 contests with the Pelicans in Finland's top league. 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
6h 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
6h 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
7h 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 TB DLightning's Ryan McDonagh: Returning to Bolts
9h 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
11h 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.
