Odell Beckham Jr. BAL WROdell Beckham: Nothing imminent with Miami
22m agoDolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens, in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Jaylen Waddle MIA WRDolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Fifth-year option to be exercised
25m agoGeneral manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that he expects the Dolphins to pick up Waddle's fifth-year option, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
The Dolphins have consistently stated a desire to come to terms with Waddle on a long-term contract, and Grier specifically dismissed trade rumors earlier this offseason. The third-year pro has recorded three straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career, becoming the first wideout to do so in franchise history, and there's little question of his value as a No. 2 read behind Tyreek Hill. Picking up Waddle's fifth-year option will keep him under contract with the Dolphins for two more seasons.

Taylor Decker DET OTLions' Taylor Decker: Recovered from offseason surgery
43m agoDecker said Tuesday he underwent foot/ankle surgery this offseason and resumed working out mid-February, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Decker appears already recovered from his offseason procedure. The 30-year-old left tackle only missed two regular-season games last season, while suiting up for all three of Detroit's postseason contests. Now heading into the final year of his contract, Decker is still playing at a high level.
-
Courtland Sutton DEN WRBroncos' Courtland Sutton: Not at voluntary OTAs
3h agoSutton wants a new contract and hasn't reported to voluntary OTAs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sutton has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $60 million extension, scheduled for a $13 million base salary in 2024 ($2 million guaranteed) and then $13.5 million in 2025 (no guarantees). He scored a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 games last season, though 90 targets were his fewest since 2020 -- the year he suffered an ACL tear Week 1 -- and he still hasn't come close to matching his career-high 1,112 yards from 2019. The 28-year-old won't necessarily hold out from mandatory team activities later this spring, but the situation is at least worth keeping an eye on until he gets an extension or contract adjustment, or otherwise reports to the Broncos. There's been no indication of his Week 18 ankle injury lingering into the offseason, with the main concern at this point being the lack of a starting-caliber QB on Denver's roster. The team also appears thin at wide receiver, where the starting job across from Sutton could end up going to any of Josh Reynolds, Marvin Mims, Tim Patrick (Achilles) or Brandon Johnson.

Shemar Jean-Charles NO CBSaints' Shemar Jean-Charles: Back in Big Easy
18h 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
20h 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.
-
Brendan Rodgers COL 2BRockies' Brendan Rodgers: Held out again with illness
12m agoRodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.
Rodgers was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to illness and still isn't feeling up to playing. Alan Trejo will again filling in at second base for the Rockies. Trejo went 1-for-3 at the plate in Monday's loss to the Phillies.
-
Kris Bryant COL DHRockies' Kris Bryant: Remains out of lineup
15m agoBryant (back/ribs) remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
It's the third straight start Bryant has missed after he had to be removed from Saturday's game versus the Blue Jays due to soreness in his right ribcage and back. The Rockies will roll with Charlie Blackmon at designated hitter, Elehuris Montero at first base and Michael Toglia in right field.
-
Brusdar Graterol LAD RPDodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Begins throwing progression
16m agoManager Dave Roberts said that Graterol (shoulder) threw a "good" bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.
Graterol won't be available until around mid-May after the Dodgers initially placed him on the 15-day injured list March 19 before later transferring him to the 60-day IL, but the fact that the right-hander is already in the midst of a throwing progression suggests he should be ready to go around the time he's first eligible to return. He'll likely continue the ramp-up process with multiple bullpen sessions and live batting practice sessions over the next couple of weeks before perhaps heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment later this month or in early May.
-
Jose Soriano LAA RPAngels' Jose Soriano: Receives second straight start
1h agoSoriano is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Even though he was touched up for four earned runs on six hits in just four innings in his first MLB start last Wednesday against the Rays, Soriano's 6:0 K:BB and eight swinging strikes on 72 pitches were encouraging. He'll get another crack at Tampa Bay in his second turn through the rotation, this time at Tropicana Field after the prior outing came at Angel Stadium. The 25-year-old could hold down a spot in the Anaheim rotation until Chase Silseth (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list.
-
Forrest Whitley HOU SPAstros' Forrest Whitley: Summoned to big-league bullpen
1h agoThe Astros will recall Whitley from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Tuesday's game versus Atlanta, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Whitley was once one of the top pitching prospects in baseball before his career got sidetracked by numerous injuries and also control problems. He got a late start to the season at Sugar Land because of a finger injury but returned to make three appearances, allowing four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over three innings. Whitley will work as a reliever for a bullpen that's in need of a fresh arm.
-
Jacob Bird COL RPRockies' Jake Bird: Takes loss in extra innings
2h agoBird (0-1) allowed one hit and one unearned run across 0.2 innings Monday against the Phillies.
Bird entered the game after other high-leverage options in the Rockies bullpen, most notably Justin Lawrence. With a runner starting the frame on second base, Bird got two quick outs before allowing a single that plated the game-winning run. The Rockies have shuffled reliever roles to begin the season, but Bird still has the only save for the team. It's unclear if he is truly in the mix for saves, as he has allowed at least one earned run in three of his nine appearances and has a 1.66 WHIP with just a 4:3 K:B across 9.2 innings.
-
Onuralp Bitim CHI SFBulls' Onuralp Bitim: Suffers detached retina
9m agoBitim will miss the remainder of the postseason after suffering a detached retina in his right eye.
Bitim did not play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Knicks, but he earned his first start of the season two days prior, posting six points in 25 minutes of action. The Turkish native was not carrying an injury designation prior to Tuesday's announcement, so it's unclear exactly how he suffered the injury. The 25-year-old finishes his abridged campaign averaging 3.5 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 38.1 percent from the field in 11.7 minutes per game across 23 appearances.
-
Kevin Love MIA PFHeat's Kevin Love: Logs limited practice
41m agoLove (arm) was a partial practice participant Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.
Love's status for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament battle remains up in the air. It isn't a win-or-go-home scenario for Miami, who would play the winner of Chicago and Atlanta if Philadelphia prevails Wednesday, but Love's ability to rebound and space the frontcourt would be a notable loss if he's ultimately unavailable. Love is dealing with a contusion to his upper arm.
-
Terry Rozier MIA SGHeat's Terry Rozier: Doesn't practice Tuesday
45m agoRozier (neck) didn't practice Tuesday, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.
Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and still isn't practicing ahead of Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Monday that Rozier was getting more tests done on his neck, but the Heat have been cautiously optimistic about the shooting guard's availability. Duncan Robinson (back) and Kevin Love (arm) were both limited during Tuesday's practice.
-
Duncan Robinson MIA SGHeat's Duncan Robinson: Limited at practice
1h agoRobinson (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.
Robinson missed the final three games of the regular season, but his limited participation suggests he's now considered day-to-day. Miami will release its official injury report Tuesday evening, so that's when fantasy managers can expect more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
-
Mitchell Robinson NY CKnicks' Mitchell Robinson: Full practice participant
1h agoRobinson (ankle/rest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is not dealing with an injury after sitting for the second half of Sunday's win over Chicago, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Robinson is "fine" in the words of coach Tom Thibodeau, and he has additional time to continue re-charging while New York awaits the outcome of the Play-In Tournament. Robinson has been volatile across 10 games since returning from ankle surgery, but he represents a valuable platoon element of the Knicks' frontcourt.
-
Cam Reddish LAL SFLakers' Cam Reddish: Dealing with ankle trouble
1h agoReddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Game against New Orleans due to a right ankle sprain, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish did not suit up for the final two games of the regular season, missing a contest due to personal matters and being a healthy scratch for the finale. He's now dealing with pain in the same ankle that has sidelined him for multiple stretches this season, although he has been a minimal factor in the Lakers' rotation of late. Nonetheless, if he's unavailable to play Tuesday, the defensive burden on the wings will fall entirely on the shoulders of Taurean Prince, Rui Hachimura and LeBron James (ankle).
-
Spencer Martin CAR GHurricanes' Spencer Martin: Starting in Columbus
10m agoMartin will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Martin will make his first appearance between the pipes since stopping 20 shots in a 4-2 win over Columbus on Feb. 29. The 28-year-old netminder has a 4-0-1 record with a 1.97 GAA and a .922 save percentage in five starts with the Hurricanes. Columbus is tied for 26th in the league this campaign with 2.81 goals per contest.
-
Brett Pesce CAR DHurricanes' Brett Pesce: Sitting Tuesday
11m agoPesce (rest) will sit out Tuesday's regular-season finale against Columbus, per Walt Ruff.
Pesce has generally skated in the top four this season, recording three goals and 10 assists to go along with 113 blocked shots through 70 games. Pesce will likely line up with Brett Burns on the No. 1 defensive pairing when the playoffs start.
-
Dmitri Voronkov CLB LWBlue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov: Dealing with illness
14m agoVoronkov is under the weather and will miss the season finale against Carolina on Tuesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Voronkov is expected to be replaced by Luca Del Bel Belluz, who is being recalled from AHL Cleveland. With Voronkov's absence, he will end his rookie season having notched 18 goals and 16 assists, including eight power-play points, in his last 75 appearances.
-
Jani Hakanpaa DAL DStars' Jani Hakanpaa: Won't play Wednesday
32m agoHakanpaa (lower body) won't be in the lineup Wednesday against St. Louis, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
Hakanpaa will miss his 13th straight contest. He still could be available for the beginning of the playoffs, but the Stars won't rush him back into action. The 32-year-old blueliner will conclude the 2023-24 regular season with two goals, 12 points, 56 shots on net, 123 blocked shots and 196 hits in 64 games.
-
Evgenii Dadonov DAL RWStars' Evgenii Dadonov: Game-time call Wednesday
34m agoDadonov (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Blues on Wednesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Dadonov would probably benefit from getting into a game before the playoffs, especially considering he has been on the shelf since Feb. 10 versus Montreal. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran forward was struggling to produce on offense with just three points in his previous nine outings. Even if Dadonov does play Wednesday, it will likely be in a bottom-six role.
-
Jake Guentzel CAR CHurricanes' Jake Guentzel: Resting Tuesday
35m agoGuentzel (rest) will sit out Tuesday's regular-season finale against Columbus, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Guentzel has been scorching hot since being traded to Carolina from Pittsburgh, logging eight goals and 17 assists in 17 games played. He'll look to stay hot on the power play during the playoffs - he's racked up 22 points with the man advantage through 67 games between the Penguins and the Hurricanes this season.
