    Lions' Nate Sudfeld: Remains in Detroit
    9h ago

    Sudfeld (knee) re-signed with the Lions on Wednesday.

    Sudfeld missed all of last year after suffering a torn ACL in a preseason game against the Panthers. The 30-year-old operated as the team's backup quarterback to Jared Goff in 2022, and was competing with Teddy Bridgewater for that role last season before his injury. If he can make the Lions roster in 2024, he'll likely be the No. 3 option with Hendon Hooker behind Goff.

    Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Fortifies Carolina's pass rush
    12h ago

    Clowney has agreed to terms with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Per Rapoport, Clowney's deal with Carolina is for two years and $20 million, with a maximum value of $24 million. During his lone campaign with the Ravens, Clowney finished the 2023 regular season with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks over the course 17 games. By adding the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the defensive mix, the Panthers will bolster a pass rushing unit that's looking to make up for the recent trade of Brian Burns to the Giants.

    Panthers' Sam Franklin: Returns to Carolina
    13h ago

    The Panthers re-signed Franklin to a one-year contract Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Franklin suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Carolina last season, finishing with 30 tackles (20 solo) and three passes defended, including an interception which he returned for a 99-yard touchdown against the Vikings in Week 4. He also played 310 snaps on special teams.

    Texans' Neville Hewitt: Back with Houston
    13h ago

    The Texans re-signed Hewitt to a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Hewitt led the NFL in special-teams tackles last season, while suiting up for 16 regular-season games. He played a career-high 358 snaps on special teams but just four defensive snaps, and as such holds little to no fantasy value in IDP formats.

  • Josh Reynolds DET WR
    Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Joining Denver's WR corps
    14h ago

    Reynolds agreed Wednesday with the Broncos on a two-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Per Garafolo, Reynolds' deal with Denver is worth a maximum of $14 million. The wideout, who turned 29 years old last month, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he caught 40 of his 64 targets for 608 yards and five touchdowns in 17 regular-season contests for Detroit. With the Broncos, Reynolds will help fill the void created by the recent trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Browns. Reynolds will have a chance to compete with Tim Patrick (Achilles) and Marvin Mims for targets behind No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton.

    New York re-signed Holmes on Wednesday, John Pullano of the team's official site reports.

    Holmes tallied five tackles and one sack across five appearances with the Jets last season, though his first defensive snaps came Week 18. He'll get another chance to compete for a third-string defensive end role this offseason.

    Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Could yield to Berti at third base
    30m ago

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't yet certain whether Cabrera or newly acquired Jon Berti will start at third base on Opening Day, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    With DJ LeMahieu (foot) beginning the season on the IL and Oswaldo Peraza set to miss several weeks due to a shoulder injury, Cabrera didn't appear to have much competition for the role of the Yankees' primary third baseman to begin the campaign. That changed Wednesday, however, when New York acquired Jon Berti in a three-team trade involving the Marlins and Rays. Though there's still a chance Cabrera could start on Opening Day, it's almost certain that he'll yield substantial time at the hot corner to the more-experienced Berti, who racked up a career-high 424 plate appearances last season and hit .294 while compiling 53 runs and 16 stolen bases. By contrast, Cabrera struggled over 330 plate appearances, slashing just .211/.275/.299 with five homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and eight thefts.

    Tigers' Carson Kelly: Could see time at DH
    7h ago

    Kelly could see some time at DH this year on days that Jake Rogers starts behind the plate, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Kelly was already expected to see a sizable role as the backup catcher, and time at DH would boost his prospects further. Rogers should still play more frequently, though Kelly will be involved it seems, particularly against left-handed pitchers, as he posted an .801 OPS against southpaws last season. His value would increase if Rogers dealt with an injury at any point.

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Could see time at DH
    7h ago

    Rogers could see some time at DH this year on days that Carson Kelly starts behind the plate, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    With Detroit only carrying two catchers on the roster, conventional wisdom would suggest that one of Rogers or Kelly would always be on the bench to provide depth if needed. However, manager A.J. Hinch suggested that both backstops could play at the same time, particularly against left-handed pitchers. This would be a boon for Rogers, who is expected to cede a decent amount of playing time to Kelly behind the dish.

    Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Undergoes surgery
    7h ago

    Andujar underwent surgery on his right knee Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Andujar will return to Oakland later in the week to begin his rehab process. The 29-year-old outfielder suffered a torn meniscus during spring training and was given a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Once healthy, he will likely claim a spot in Oakland's outfield unit.

    Pirates' Luis Ortiz: Opening in bullpen
    8h ago

    Ortiz will begin the season as a long reliever in the bullpen, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    The 25-year-old made a solid case for a rotation spot during spring training with a 3.46 ERA, and 15:7 K:BB across 13 innings, but Bailey Falter and Jared Jones will begin the campaign as Pittsburgh's Nos. 4 and 5 starters. Ortiz should remain stretched out and should see some action as a bulk reliever, especially as a right-handed complement to lefties like Jones, Martin Perez and Marco Gonzales.

    Walter will begin the season on the injured list due to a strained left shoulder, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Walter will remain in Fort Myers for extended spring training as he works his way back from his injury. The 27-year-old southpaw will head to Triple-A Worcester once he's healthy and could contribute to the Red Sox's bullpen at some point in 2024.

    Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Plays 21 minutes in season debut
    1h ago

    Clarke closed Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.

    Clarke tore his Achilles in early March last season and needed over a year to recover before he was able to return to NBA action. The Gonzaga product was able to give Memphis 21 minutes off the bench in his season debut, and he recorded a team-best plus-15 point differential while he was on the court. Given his long layoff, Clarke doesn't figure to see minutes much higher than the amount he played Wednesday, especially with the Grizzlies out of playoff contention.

    Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Catches fire in fourth quarter
    1h ago

    LaRavia accumulated 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

    His efforts weren't enough to bring Memphis back against a suddenly hot Lakers squad, but LaRavia at least helped keep the Grizzlies from being completely blown out with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth period. Overall, the second-year forward scored all but four of his points from beyond the arc, and his seven three-pointers more than doubled his previous career-best mark of three. LaRavia is usually good for a triple or two per contest, so there's little reason to expect this type of output from deep on a consistent basis, though he has held some low-end fantasy value of late with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals through 14 games in March.

    Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Racks up career-high 16 dimes

    Bane finished with 26 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, 16 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers.

    Bane was Memphis' leading scorer and drained four triples in the loss, but his most impactful contribution came as a passer. The talented guard set a career high with 16 assists, marking his first time reaching double digits in that category over five contests since returning from a 29-game absence March 16. Bane has two other double-digit assist performances this season and is averaging a career-high 5.5 dimes per contest on the campaign.

  • Jaxson Hayes LAL C
    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Solid in starting role
    1h ago

    Hayes finished Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.

    Hayes moved into the starting unit Wednesday with Anthony Davis (knee) out of action, and he was able to give the Lakers 31 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back set despite picking up five fouls. Hayes finished with his second-best scoring total of the season while missing just one of his seven field-goal attempts, and he added seven boards, third-most on the team. It's unclear if Davis will need to miss additional time -- if so, Hayes could hold some value as a low-end streamer in fantasy leagues for managers needing boards, though he's not a viable option when Davis is in the lineup.

  • Rui Hachimura LAL PF
    Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Rides red-hot hand to 32 points
    1h ago

    Hachimura finished with 32 points (11-14 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies.

    Hachimura entered Wednesday having gone just 3-for-13 from three-point range over his previous five games, but he caught fire against Memphis to drain a season-best seven triples on just eight attempts. In addition to his offensive impact, the power forward grabbed 10 boards to notch his second double-double of the season -- both of which have come in his past two contests. Hachimura featured more prominently with Anthony Davis (knee) out of action, and the former could continue to take on a more central role if Davis needs to miss additional time.

    Lakers' LeBron James: Returns to court with triple-double
    2h ago

    James chipped in 23 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 14 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies.

    James sat out the Lakers' marathon double-overtime victory against Milwaukee on Tuesday, but he returned for the second night of the team's back-to-back set Wednesday while Anthony Davis (knee) sat out. The future Hall of Famer led Los Angeles in both rebounds (14) and assists (12) in the victory while finishing tied for second on the club in scoring with 23 points on a healthy 8-for-14 shooting line. The triple-double was James' fourth of the season and his first since he put up a 36/20/12 line against the Warriors on Jan. 27. The Lakers have won five straight and are making a late-season push to move up in the standings, so James should avoid sitting out for rest purposes for the most part, though it's worth noting that the team has two back-to-back sets remaining on the schedule.

    Tkachuk tallied a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

    Tkachuk grabbed an assist on Drake Batherson's tally in the first period before adding a goal in the final minute of the frame, directing a Thomas Chabot feed past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to extend Ottawa's lead to 5-0. It's the third straight two-point game for Tkachuk, who now has five goals and 11 points in his last seven contests. Overall, the 24-year-old winger's up to 32 goals, three shy of a career high, and 63 points through 70 games this season.

    Katchouk logged a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    Katchouk grabbed an assist on Artem Zub's opening goal 2:37 into the first period before extending Ottawa's lead to 2-0 just a few minutes later, deflecting a Parker Kelly shot for his first goal in 10 games with the Senators. The 25-year-old Katchouk now has six goals and 11 points across 47 games between Ottawa and Chicago this season. While he provides a physical presence, Katchouk isn't likely to offer consistent production offensively in a fourth-line role.

    Sabres' Devon Levi: Sharp in relief
    3h ago

    Levi stopped 31 of 32 shots after relieving Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in a 6-2 loss to the Senators on Wednesday.

    Levi entered the game after Luukkonen allowed four goals in the first 8:49 of the first period. After allowing a goal to Brady Tkachuk late in the frame, Levi would proceed to blank the Senators over the final two periods. Despite the 22-year-old netminder's performance, the Sabres couldn't overcome the early 5-0 deficit, saddling Luukkonen with the loss. While Levi's seen limited action, he's been sharp recently, sporting a .943 save percentage over his last three appearances. Overall, he's 9-8-2 with an .898 save percentage and 3.16 GAA this season.

    3h ago

    Luukkonen allowed four goals on nine shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Senators.

    It was a rough night for Luukkonen, who allowed four goals in the first 8:49 of the opening period before he was relieved by Devon Levi. The 25-year-old Luukkonen had won five of his last seven outings prior to Wednesday's matchup, sporting a .909 save percentage in that span. Luukkonen falls to 24-19-3 with a .911 save percentage and 2.57 GAA in what's been a generally impressive campaign. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which could come Friday when the Sabres host New Jersey.

    Pinto tallied a goal and three assists in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over the Sabres.

    Pinto grabbed assists on three of the Senators' five first-period goals before capping the scoring with an empty-netter in the third. The 23-year-old center had cooled off coming into Wednesday's contest, tallying just one goal and three points in his previous nine games. Following his season-high four-point effort, Pinto's up to eight goals and 25 points through 30 games this season.

    Korpisalo turned aside 34 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    Korpisalo was sharp again Wednesday, holding Buffalo to a pair of second-period goals en route to his third consecutive win. The 29-year-old netminder's won five of his last six starts, sporting a .909 save percentage in that span. It's been a nice stretch in an otherwise disappointing season for Korpisalo -- he improved to 18-21-4 on the campaign with an .890 save percentage and 3.30 GAA. Anton Forsberg figures to get the start Thursday in the second half of a back-to-back, lining up Korpisalo for a road matchup in Winnipeg on Saturday.
