Tyler Shatley JAC OGJaguars' Tyler Shatley: Staying in Jacksonville
19h 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
22h 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.

Gio Urshela DET 3BTigers' Gio Urshela: Placed on IL
1m agoThe Tigers placed Urshela on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.
Urshela suffered the injury while running to first base during Friday's win and had to be removed from the game in the second inning. Matt Vierling will start at third base Saturday and could be in line to do so regularly while Urshela is out, though the newly-promoted Buddy Kennedy may also see a few starts.

Luke Little CHC RPCubs' Luke Little: Serving as 27th man Saturday
2m agoLittle will be the 27th man for the Cubs' doubleheader against the Marlins on Saturday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Little was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, but he's back with the Cubs to provide some pitching depth for their doubleheader Saturday. He has appeared in seven games in the majors this season, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB over 6.2 innings.
-
Bowden Francis TOR SPBlue Jays' Bowden Francis: Collects win in relief
8m agoFrancis (2-2) picked up the win Friday against the Padres, allowing one hit and one walk over two scoreless relief innings. He struck out two.
After a brutal start to the season in the rotation, Francis has looked much more comfortable back in a long relief role and has been credited with a win in back-to-back appearances. The right-hander still carries an awful 9.95 ERA and 1.82 WHIP through 12.2 innings, but his 17:7 K:BB highlights his potential if he can get his control and command issues sorted out.
-
Bo Bichette TOR SSBlue Jays' Bo Bichette: Pilfers third bag in Friday's win
12m agoBichette went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Padres.
Moved up to the leadoff spot with George Springer getting a breather, Bichette did his job setting the table. After a slow start to the season, the shortstop has hit safely in 11 of the last 12 games, slashing .304/.377/.457 over that stretch with a homer, five RBI, seven runs and all three of his steals on the season.
-
Spencer Strider ATL SPBraves' Spencer Strider: Less damage than expected
16m agoStrider suggested Friday that he could be back on a mound early next season after doctors found that his ligament was in "surprisingly good" shape during surgery, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander indicated that the internal bracing procedure he underwent last week ended up being necessary because of a loose bone fragment in his elbow that had developed over the last couple years. "That's what destabilized the ligament," Strider said. Atlanta will likely be cautious with its ace's recovery, but the fact that he avoided Tommy John surgery and the relatively positive news about the state of his ligament are strong signs that he could still have significant fantasy value in 2025.
-
Carlos Santana MIN 1BTwins' Carlos Santana: Not starting Saturday
27m agoSantana isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Santana has now sat out three of Minnesota's last four games after slashing .125/.210/.143 across his first 15 games. His absence Saturday will move Alex Kirilloff to first base while Austin Martin, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach start across the outfield.
-
CJ McCollum NO PGPelicans' CJ McCollum: Disappears in Friday loss
8m 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
10m 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
13m 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
17m 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.
-
Keegan Murray SAC PFKings' Keegan Murray: Poor shooting display Friday
19m agoMurray closed with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to New Orleans.
Murray had to leave the game in the second quarter due to a hip problem, and even though he returned in the second half, he didn't look at his best -- and he was certainly not as good as he was against the Warriors in the previous round of the Play-In Tournament. Murray has scored 15 points or more in five of his last seven appearances and will be asked to play a prominent role on offense in the first-round series against the Thunder.
-
Domantas Sabonis SAC CKings' Domantas Sabonis: Close to triple-double Friday
21m agoSabonis produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to New Orleans.
Sabonis seems to be extending his double-double streak into the postseason, and he stepped up in a game where the Kings needed him to be at his best, ending just three assists away from a triple-double. Sabonis is expected to be one of the Kings' go-to players in the first-round series against the Thunder, and it's worth noting he posted two triple-doubles in four appearances against OKC in the regular season.
-
Derrick Pouliot DAL DStars' Derrick Pouliot: Recalled for playoff run
5m 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 GStars' Matt Murray: Recalled from AHL
7m 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
32m agoPer Andrew Gross of Newsday, coach Patrick Roy said Pageau (lower body) will be a game-time decision Saturday.
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 PIM and 196 hits in 82 outings. Should Pageau be unavailable Saturday, expect to see Simon Holmstrom enter the lineup on the fourth unit.
-
Nick Jensen WAS DCapitals' Nick Jensen: Skating before practice Saturday
39m 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.
-
Rasmus Sandin WAS DCapitals' Rasmus Sandin: Practicing in non-contact jersey
1h agoSandin (upper body) is at morning practice Saturday, in a non-contact jersey, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
The Capitals play Game 1 versus the Rangers on Sunday and it's starting to look like Sandin won't be ready to return. Sandin missed the last five games of the regular season with the injury, finishing the season with three goals and 20 assists in 68 appearances. Should Sandin be unavailable Sunday, look for Dylan McIlrath to dress as the Capitals' sixth defenseman.
-
Olli Maatta DET DRed Wings' Olli Maatta: Caps off productive campaign
2h agoMaatta posted four goals, 14 assists, 96 blocked shots and a team-leading plus-14 rating through 72 games this season.
Maatta didn't post the type of stat that would enthrall the masses in fantasy hockey but was efficient for a retooled Red Wings blue line that desperately needed more cohesion and consistency. The 2024-25 campaign will be a contract year for Maatta before potentially being able to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
