Tyler Shatley JAC OGJaguars' Tyler Shatley: Staying in Jacksonville
20h agoThe Jaguars re-signed Shatley on Friday.
Not all of the details of the deal are known at this point, but Shatley is now poised to spend at least next season in Jacksonville - his 11th straight year with the team. The Jaguars will likely seek to add talent at offensive line during the upcoming draft, but Shatley figures to at least provide veteran depth to the interior of the unit in 2024.

Andrew Ogletree IND TEColts' Drew Ogletree: Back with team
23h agoGM Chris Ballard noted Friday that Ogletree is off the NFL's Commissioner Exempt List, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Per the report, Ogletree -- whose charges stemming from his arrest in December were dismissed last month -- is back with the Colts during offseason workouts. Prior to being placed on the Commissioner Exempt List on Dec. 30, Ogletree caught nine of his 21 targets for 147 yards and two TDs in 12 regular-season games with Indianapolis.

J.K. Dobbins LAC RBChargers' J.K. Dobbins: Should be ready for training camp
23h agoDobbins (Achilles), who agreed to terms with the Chargers on Thursday, "should be" ready for training camp according to GM Joe Hortiz, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relayed last month that Dobbins -- who suffered a torn Achilles in Baltimore's regular-season opener in 2023 -- has been cleared for football activities, with previous reports having noted that the running back had resumed running this offseason. Based on the assessment of Hortiz on Thursday, Dobbins is still working his way back from his injury; however, if the 2020 second-rounder is able to return to form, he and Gus Edwards (who also came over from the Ravens in free agency) have a chance to provide an effective 1-2 punch in the Chargers' backfield in 2024 under the guidance of offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who both players worked with in Baltimore.

Kerby Joseph DET DBLions' Kerby Joseph: Should be 100 percent for camp
1d agoJoseph (hip) -- who won't take part in practices this spring -- expects to be fully healthy by the start of training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Joseph underwent an offseason procedure to address a hip injury that originally occurred in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. Though he returned to play after missing two contests en route to logging 82 tackles and four picks in 15 regular-season outings overall, the issue evidently lingered to the point that it required attention following the postseason. Once he's back to 100 percent, Joseph will reprise his starting free safety role with the Lions.

D.J. Chark CAR WRDJ Chark: Visits with Chargers
1d agoChark visited the Chargers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Few teams are more in need of wide receivers, with the Chargers having released Mike Williams and traded Keenan Allen earlier this offseason. Chark has never come close to matching his 1,008-yard, eight-TD performance in 2019 for Jacksonville, but he did top 500 yards both of the past two seasons in Detroit and Carolina, starting 21 of 26 games along the way. Chark will turn 28 in September and doesn't figure to command a large contract.

Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: No concern about OTA absence
1d agoBroncos GM George Paton suggested Thursday that he isn't worried about Sutton's absence from voluntary offseason workouts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. "It's 100 percent voluntary," Paton said. "It's the first week of the offseason program. I've talked to Courtland. He's in a good place, and I'll just leave it at that."
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Sutton's absence from voluntary OTAs is related to wanting a new contract. The wideout has two years and approximately $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, with only $2 million of that guaranteed. It's not the type of situation with especially high risk for a holdout, and Sutton looks to be especially important for Denver's offense after the team traded WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland in the offseason. It's not yet clear who will start across from Sutton at wide receiver, nor is it clear who will get the nod under center Week 1. The Broncos still have a lot to work out this spring and summer, with the upcoming NFL Draft presumably being a piece of that puzzle.

Ildemaro Vargas WAS 2BNationals' Ildemaro Vargas: Tough night on basepaths
2m agoVargas went 2-for-3 with an RBI but was caught stealing twice in Friday's loss to the Astros.
Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, Vargas has another good showing at the plate, but it was his misadventures on the basepaths that stood out in a 5-3 loss -- he was picked off at second base by Justin Verlander and caught in a rundown in the third inning, then thrown out trying to steal second base in the eighth. Vargas is batting .323 (10-for-31) with a 5:3 BB:K through 11 games and has been seeing semi-regular playing time around the infield, but Friday's performance won't endear him to manager Dave Martinez.

Roddery Munoz MIA SPMarlins' Roddery Munoz: Serving as 27th man Saturday
3m agoThe Marlins have appointed Munoz as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs.
Munoz will make his MLB debut and draw the start for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. Munoz has struggled with Triple-A Jacksonville, giving up 13 earned runs on 10 hits and 12 walks over 10.2 innings while striking out seven.
-
Luis Garcia WAS 2BNationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes fourth bag
7m agoGarcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Astros.
That's now four steals on the season for Garcia, including three in the last two games. The 23-year-old second baseman is having a strong start to the year overall, slashing .296/.333/.481 through 17 games with seven doubles, a homer, four runs and eight RBI, and he's hit either fourth or fifth in four straight games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- as the Nationals search for a batting order that can produce consistent offense.
-
Vidal Brujan MIA 2BMarlins' Vidal Brujan: Starting in first of doubleheader
8m agoBrujan is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in the Marlins' first game of their doubleheader against the Cubs on Saturday.
The switch-hitting Brujan will face off against Cubs right-hander Javier Assad in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. Tim Anderson figures to start at shortstop in the second game against Chicago left-hander Shota Imanaga. Brujan has gone just 2-for-20 with one double, one RBI and one run to start the season.
-
DJ Stewart NYM DHMets' DJ Stewart: Launches third homer
13m agoStewart went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over the Dodgers.
The 30-year-old drove a 96.3 mph fastball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep to right field in the second inning to open the scoring with a solo shot, then chipped in runs later in the contest with a sacrifice fly and a single. Stewart has hit safely in six of his last seven games, batting .368 (7-for-19) over that stretch with all three of his homers and all 10 of his RBI on the season. J.D. Martinez (back) will eventually join the roster as the full-time DH, but Stewart is doing what he can to prove he should remain in a prominent role once that happens.
-
Starling Marte NYM RFMets' Starling Marte: Stays hot Friday
18m agoMarte went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Dodgers.
The veteran outfielder has caught fire the last couple weeks. Over the last 12 games, Marte is slashing .315/.362/.463 with two homers, four steals, seven RBI and 11 runs, and he seems to be entrenched once again as the Mets' No. 2 hitter. After a down 2023 due to lingering health issues, the 35-year-old appears primed for a bounce-back campaign.
-
Terry Rozier MIA SGHeat's Terry Rozier: Considered week-to-week
16m agoRozier (neck) is not considered healthy enough to return for Game 1 of the Heat's Round 1 series versus the Celtics at this point and is considered week-to-week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
While Rozier has not officially been ruled out for Game 1 yet, that appears to be where things are trending. Fortunately, the neck injury is not considered career threatening. With Jimmy Butler (knee) also sidelined for the immediate future, Tyler Herro figures to be the primary beneficiary from an offensive workload perspective. The likes of Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez also figure to benefit in some fashion. The possibility of a playoff sighting for Rozier will presumably depend on how long the Heat can stay afloat against the daunting Celtics.
-
Sam Merrill CLE SGCavaliers' Sam Merrill: No restrictions for Game 1
33m agoMerrill (neck) is not expected to face any minute restrictions in Game 1 of the team's series versus the Suns, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill sat out the final three games of the regulear season due to a neck strain. Barring any setbacks, he should be available for his usual workload. The 27-year-old averaged 17.5 minutes per game during the regular season.
-
CJ McCollum NO PGPelicans' CJ McCollum: Disappears in Friday loss
1h agoMcCollum supplied seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings.
The Pelicans needed McCollum to be at his best Friday, as they were without Zion Williamson (hamstring) while Brandon Ingram was still not ready to handle his regular workload. However, and just like it happened in the first round of the Play-In Tournament against the Lakers, the veteran guard failed to come through and struggled to make an impact, posting a second consecutive single-digit scoring performance. McCollum still averaged 20.0 points per game in the regular season, but his Play-In showings were certainly below the expectations for a player of his caliber.
-
Jonas Valanciunas NO CPelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Delivers double-double Friday
1h agoValanciunas ended Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings with 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 27 minutes.
Valanciunas was a non-factor in the loss against the Lakers in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, but he stepped up in a big way here, as the Pelicans were without Zion Williamson (hamstring). and posted his second double-double since the beginning of April. He ends the season with averages of 12.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game across 84 appearances, as he didn't miss a single game throughout the campaign. However, his statistical output suffered a marked regression for the second consecutive year, and his future with the Pelicans is not entirely clear for 2024-25 and beyond.
-
Brandon Ingram NO SFPelicans' Brandon Ingram: Scores 24 in Play-In defeat
1h agoIngram amassed 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings.
Ingram was playing in only his third game since missing the final stretch of the regular season, and while he wasn't at his best, he stepped up when called upon duty in a game where New Orleans didn't have Zion Williamson (hamstring). Ingram finishes the 2023-24 season with averages of 20.7 points, 5.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game across 66 appearances between the regular season and the Play-In Tournament, making it the third straight campaign in which he averages at least 20 points, five assists and five rebounds per game.
-
De'Aaron Fox SAC PGKings' De'Aaron Fox: Carries Sacramento to playoff berth
1h agoFox notched 35 points (12-29 FG, 4-16 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to the Pelicans.
Fox came through when the Kings needed him the most, and the star floor general sparked the team's second half comeback to secure a playoff berth -- and a matchup against the Thunder in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Even though Domantas Sabonis will make an impact on offense and Keegan Murray can be a valuable contributor in the scoring column, the Kings will live and die by Fox's performances, and they will go as far as the star guard can carry them. To note, Fox surpassed the 30-point plateau in two of his three appearances against the Thunder in the regular season.
-
Mason Lohrei BOS DBruins' Mason Lohrei: Returned to AHL
27m agoLohrei was reassigned to AHL Providence on Saturday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Lohrei was recalled Friday as Brandon Carlo was still considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Lohrei had four goals, 13 points, 32 hits and 63 blocks in 41 NHL games this season. It appears that Carlo will suit up for Game 1 versus Toronto on Saturday with Lohrei's demotion.
-
William Nylander TOR RWMaple Leafs' William Nylander: Game-time call
34m agoNylander (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision prior to Saturday's game versus Boston, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
It would be a major blow to the Maple Leafs if Nylander is forced to miss Game One. The 27-year-old winger posted 40 goals and a career-high 98 points this season. If Nylander does ultimately sit, Noah Gregor would likely slot into the lineup with Tyler Bertuzzi moving up to the top power-play unit.
-
Derrick Pouliot DAL DStars' Derrick Pouliot: Recalled for playoff run
1h agoPouliot was recalled from AHL Texas on Saturday, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.
Pouliot isn't likely to suit up in the postseason for Dallas, but he'll provide extra depth on the blue line. Pouliot saw action in five NHL games this season, averaging 12:08 minutes while failing to record a point. He had nine goals and 46 points in 64 AHL contests.
-
Matthew Murray DAL G
Stars' Matt Murray: Recalled from AHL
1h agoThe Stars called up Murray from AHL Texas on Saturday.
Murray will be the Stars' emergency third goaltender in the playoffs, as Jake Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood are ahead of him on the depth chart. Murray shut out the Wild in his only NHL game this season, turning aside all 23 shots in a 4-0 win.
-
Jean-Gabriel Pageau NYI CIslanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Game-time decision Saturday
1h agoPer Andrew Gross of Newsday, coach Patrick Roy said Pageau (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's playoff opener versus Carolina.
Pageau was injured Wednesday versus the Penguins in the final game of the regular season. He completed the year with 11 goals, 22 assists, 101 shots on net and 196 hits in 82 outings. Should Pageau be unavailable Saturday, expect to see Simon Holmstrom enter the lineup.
-
Nick Jensen WAS DCapitals' Nick Jensen: Skating before practice Saturday
2h agoJensen (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey before practice Saturday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Jensen was stretchered off the ice a week ago against Tampa Bay and missed the last two games of the regular season. Jensen will have to get better in a hurry if he hopes to play in Game 1 versus the Rangers on Sunday. Jensen had 14 points, 62 hits and 123 blocked shots in 78 games during the regular season. Should Jensen be unable to play, expect to see Vincent Iorio remain in the lineup.
