Shemar Jean-Charles NO CBSaints' Shemar Jean-Charles: Back in Big Easy
5h agoJean-Charles re-signed with the Saints on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Jean-Charles was not tendered by New Orleans as a restricted free agent, but he will return to the team nonetheless. After spending his first two seasons in Green Bay, the 25-year-old suited up for eight games between the 49ers and Saints in 2023. He accumulated four tackles (three solo) in the process. The Appalachian State product will now look to make an impression during offseason workouts.

Emanuel Wilson GB RBPackers' Emanuel Wilson: Sticks in Green Bay as ERFA
7h agoThe Packers re-signed Wilson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
An undrafted rookie in 2023, Wilson made the Packers' initial 53-man roster following the preseason and even mixed into seven regular-season games, taking 14 carries for 85 yards and hauling in four of five targets for 23 yards while working behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Green Bay swapped out Jones for Josh Jacobs and also retained Dillon this offseason, meaning Wilson is poised for a similar role in the coming campaign, barring potential additions to the backfield in free agency or the draft.

Nick McCloud NYG CBGiants' Nick McCloud: Stays in the Big Apple
7h agoMcCloud (back) re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McCloud finished his 2023 campaign on the sidelines after getting injured in the team's season finale against the Eagles. Healthy now, the Notre Dame product can focus on being ready for a third campaign in New York after signing his free-agent tender.

Maxx Crosby LV DERaiders' Maxx Crosby: Fully healthy
7h agoCrosby (knee) said, "I'm feeling better than I ever have," Monday, after he spent much of 2023 fighting through a knee injury that required draining multiple times a week, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Crosby set career highs in combined tackles (90) and sacks (14.5) last season despite spending much of the campaign hampered by a bursa joint issue. The 26-year-old underwent a procedure to correct it in January after the season ended and began rehabbing it soon after, which went "incredible," according to Crosby.

Rashee Rice KC WRChiefs' Rashee Rice: Expected to participate in virtual meetings
8h agoCoach Andy Reid indicated Monday that Rice is expected to remotely participate in the initial stage of the Chiefs' voluntary offseason program via virtual meetings, NFL.com reports.
Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, Rice -- who is is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury stemming from his involvement in a car crash in Dallas last month -- turned himself in to police last week and was subsequently released on bond. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the league has been closely monitoring developments related to the incident, while Reid noted that it remains to be seen whether the wideout will participate later in the spring when the team's offseason program moves to Kansas City. "I want to keep gathering the information from the law enforcement people,'" Reid said Monday. "We'll just see where everything goes from there (and) let the process take place."

Drew Forbes CLE OTDrew Forbes: Gets let go
8h agoForbes (back) was released by the Browns on Monday with a failed physical designation, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Forbes missed all of 2023 due to a back injury suffered during training camp. It's unclear what the injury is specifically or how close he could be to being healthy enough to compete. Either way, the 27-year-old will now be a free agent until he is at least fully recovered.

Mike Trout LAA CFAngels' Mike Trout: Swats go-ahead home run
7m agoTrout went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Monday's 7-3 win over the Rays.
Trout got the Angels on the board with a two-run homer in the eighth as part of a five-run inning, giving the Halos the lead and eventual victory. During his last eight games, Trout is batting 11-for-32 (.344) with four home runs and seven runs scored.
-
Harold Ramirez TB DHRays' Harold Ramirez: Lone source of offense
14m agoRamirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run batted in during Monday's 7-3 loss to the Angels.
Ramirez provided all three of Tampa Bay's runs, plating Jose Siri on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning before launching a two-run homer off Matt Moore in the eighth. The long ball was Ramirez's first of 2024, and just his second extra-base hit through 62 at-bats. In 15 games, Ramirez is slashing .258/.258/.323 with nine runs scored.
-
Taylor Ward LAA LFAngels' Taylor Ward: Clubs another long ball
21m agoWard went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Monday's 7-3 win over the Rays.
Ward launched his third homer of the last four games and extended his hit streak to eight consecutive games. The long ball plated Anthony Rendon in the ninth inning and gave closer Carlos Estevez four runs of cushion. Ward might be headed toward a breakout campaign, being tied for fourth in the majors in home runs (six) with an impressive .313/.333/.612 slash line through 16 games.
-
Patrick Sandoval LAA SPAngels' Patrick Sandoval: Effective in no-decision
29m agoSandoval didn't factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks across five innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out three.
Sandoval fared much better in his second go-around with the Rays on Monday, allowing one run after surrendering four (three earned) against them on April 9. However, his efforts didn't translate into the win column as the Halos didn't get on the board until the eighth frame. The southpaw owns a 4.67 ERA through four starts and has yet to allow a home run in 17.1 innings of action. He's scheduled for a Saturday start against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
-
Zach Eflin TB SPRays' Zach Eflin: Logs 6.1 scoreless innings
37m agoEflin didn't factor into the decision Monday, allowing six hits and no walks with five strikeouts over 6.1 innings against the Angels.
Eflin got his revenge against the Angels on Monday, holding them scoreless after allowing five runs in five innings against them on April 8. The 30-year-old has yielded mixed results through four starts, giving up at least five earned runs twice while surrendering one run over 12.2 innings during his other pair of starts. Despite the inconsistencies, Eflin's command has been impeccable, with two walks allowed in 23.1 innings. Eflin's projected for a start against the Yankees on Saturday.
-
Avisail Garcia MIA RFMarlins' Avisail Garcia: Swats solo homer
1h agoGarcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.
Garcia notched his second home run of the campaign Monday but was unable to collect his first multi-hit game of 2024. The outfielder has generated a hit in five of his last six games but owns a .200/.220/.375 slash line through 14 appearances.
-
Olivier Sarr OKC CThunder's Olivier Sarr: Goes down with ankle injury
2h agoSarr left Monday's Game 3 of the G League Finals against the Maine Celtics due to an ankle injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Sarr was involved in a collision while pursuing a rebound, and he ultimately needed to be carried to the locker room. His return to Monday's clash seems unlikely given the circumstances in which he exited.

Draymond Green GS PFWarriors' Draymond Green: Cleared for Play-In Tournament
5h agoGreen (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.
Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.
-
Stephen Curry GS PGWarriors' Stephen Curry: Removed from injury report
5h agoCurry (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Sacramento.
Curry and Draymond Green (knee) have both been cleared for action Tuesday, leaving Gary Payton (calf) as the Warriors' lone absence. Golden State will be traveling to Sacramento for Tuesday's showdown, returning to the scene of the crime where Curry dropped 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt) in a victorious Game 7 of last year's first-round series between these teams. Additionally, Curry averaged 31.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four games against the Kings this season.
-
Christian Wood LAL PFLakers' Christian Wood: Ruled out for Tuesday's game
7h agoWood (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Wood has been sidelined since undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in March, and he'll remain sidelined as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. It's unclear if he'll be available at any point if the team advances in the postseason.
-
Jarred Vanderbilt LAL PFLakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Remains out
7h agoVanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans.
Vanderbilt's defensive efforts were a key part of the Lakers' run to the Western Conference Finals last season. However, he has been unavailable for most of 2023-24, playing just 29 regular-season games (six appearances). Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 1, so his continued absence shouldn't impact coach Darvin Ham's rotation.
-
LeBron James LAL SFLakers' LeBron James: Probable for Tuesday
7h agoJames (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he'll likely be able to suit up as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. He appeared in the team's final three regular-season games and averaged 32.7 points, 11.0 assists, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per game.
-
Ryan Lindgren NYR DRangers' Ryan Lindgren: Contributes assist in win
15m agoLindgren notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Lindgren had been held off the scoresheet in his last seven games since a three-point effort versus the Coyotes on March 30. The 26-year-old defenseman ends the regular season with 17 points -- one shy of his career high -- while adding 73 shots on net, 114 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 76 appearances. Lindgren is a defensive stalwart for the Rangers, and he should begin the playoffs in a top-four role.
-
Erik Gustafsson NYR DRangers' Erik Gustafsson: Provides helper in win
17m agoGustafsson notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
This was Gustafsson's first point in his last seven appearances. The 32-year-old defenseman ends the regular-season with 31 points, 93 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 63 hits and a plus-3 rating over 76 appearances. He'll likely remain in a bottom-four role as a power-play specialist to begin the playoffs.
-
Mika Zibanejad NYR CRangers' Mika Zibanejad: Draws shorthanded assist
19m agoZibanejad notched a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Zibanejad helped out on an Adam Fox tally in the second period. The assist extended Zibanejad's point streak to six games (two goals, six helpers) to close out the regular season. He had 72 points in 81 appearances, with his .89 points per game being his lowest pace in six years. Despite the down year, the 30-year-old center remains on the Rangers' top line as well as a key contributor in all situations after posting a career-high six shorthanded points and topping 30 power-play points (31) for the second straight season.
-
Chris Kreider NYR LWRangers' Chris Kreider: Earns two helpers in win
23m agoKreider notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Kreider set up Jack Roslovic's goal in the first period and Adam Fox's shorthanded tally in the second. Over the last 10 games of the regular season, Kreider racked up six goals and four assists. The winger is at 39 goals, 75 points, 246 shots on net, 99 hits and a plus-19 rating over 82 contests this season, his second-most productive campaign. He earned 29 power-play points and a career-high five shorthanded points in 2023-24.
-
Jack Roslovic NYR CRangers' Jack Roslovic: Opens scoring Monday
28m agoRoslovic scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Roslovic snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. The 27-year-old winger has been decent for the Rangers with eight points over 19 contests since he was traded from the Blue Jackets. On the year, he has 31 points, 117 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 59 appearances. Roslovic ended the regular season on the Rangers' top line, but he could be quickly shuffled down the lineup if the team has any stumbles in the playoffs.
-
Alexis Lafreniere NYR LWRangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Adds insurance tally
32m agoLafreniere scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Lafreniere made sure to end his three-game point drought prior to the playoffs, scoring the Rangers' fourth goal in this contest. The winger was near a point-per-game pace over the last six weeks, racking up 11 goals and 10 assists over 22 contests since the start of March. He's at 28 goals, 57 points, 217 shots on net, 73 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 82 outings overall. Lafreniere should open the playoffs in the second-line role he's made his own during the regular season.
