Dre Greenlaw DEN LB
Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Out for OTAs
7h agoGreenlaw (quadriceps) isn't participating in Denver's OTAs, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Greenlaw signed with the Broncos in March but suffered a quadriceps strain a month later that will force him to miss the entirety of the team's OTAs. He is, however, on track to be healthy for training camp and will serve as one of the team's starting linebackers come the start of the regular season.

Troy Fautanu PIT OT
Steelers' Troy Fautanu: Healthy for OTAs
8h agoFautanu (knee) participated in Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday.
Fautanu was the Steelers' first-round draft pick in 2024 but suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 2 win over Denver that landed him on injured reserve for the remainder of his rookie season. Now healthy again, he should serve as the team's starting right tackle during the upcoming campaign.

Mason McCormick PIT OG
Steelers' Mason McCormick: Participates in OTAs
8h agoMcCormick (hand) was an active participant during Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday.
McCormick sat out the team's wild-card loss versus the Ravens last season with a broken hand but is now healthy again. He should be in line to serve as the Steelers' starting right guard once again during the upcoming campaign.

Logan Lee PIT DT
Steelers' Logan Lee: Participates in OTAs
8h agoLee (calf) was an active participant in Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday.
Lee is healthy again after sitting out the entirety of his rookie season due to a calf injury suffered last September. He will now compete for a spot as a depth defender and will look to make his regular-season debut during the start of the upcoming campaign.

Younghoe Koo ATL K
Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Healthy ahead of 2025
9h agoKoo (hip) was an active participant at Day 1 of Atlanta's OTAs on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports.
Koo was back out on the practice field after missing the Falcons' last three contests of the 2024 campaign with a right hip injury, which he said he has now fully recovered from. The kicker made 25 of 34 field-goal attempts while making all 26 of his extra-point tries over 14 games last year. Koo's 74 percent field-goal percentage in 2024 was a career low, and he'll look to get back on track in 2025.

Darnell Mooney ATL WR
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Full go at team OTAs
9h agoMooney (shoulder) was an active participant at Day 1 of the Falcons' OTAs on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of Atlanta's official team site reports.
Mooney is coming off of a 2024 campaign with Atlanta in which he caught 64 of 106 targets for 992 yards and five touchdowns over 16 contests. The wide receiver missed the team's regular-season finale versus the Panthers with a shoulder injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy ahead of 2025. Mooney likely will operate as the Falcons' No. 2 option at wide receiver alongside Drake London this season as Michael Penix officially takes the reigns at quarterback.

Oswald Peraza NYY 3B
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Goes deep in win
1h agoPeraza went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and walk in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Angels.
The utilityman crushed a line-drive homer to center field off Hector Neris in the seventh inning, providing a key insurance run that helped secure the win. It's been tough sledding for the 24-year-old, who's slashing just .203/.283/.322 with eight extra-base hits over 79 at-bats this season. The injury to third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera on May 12 opened up more playing time for Peraza, but he hasn't capitalized on the opportunity. Tuesday's home run was a positive sign, but the Yankees will likely continue exploring both internal and external options to maximize production at the hot corner.
-
Devin Williams NYY RP
Yankees' Devin Williams: Shaky while collecting fifth save
1h agoWilliams picked up the save Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Angels. He allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while recording zero strikeouts over one inning.
The right-hander was removed from the closer role due to early-season struggles but was called on to pitch the ninth inning, with Luke Weaver likely unavailable after working the previous two days. Williams saw his streak of eight consecutive scoreless appearances snapped by a Yoan Moncada solo homer and Jo Adell RBI, but he narrowly escaped with the save. The former Brewer didn't issue a walk against the Angels but has posted a career-worst 5.40 BB/9 through his first 23 appearances and 20 innings as a Yankee, contributing to a disappointing 6.75 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. While Williams filled in as closer, it's unlikely he reclaims the full-time role, with Weaver sporting a 0.73 ERA.

Jackson Kowar SEA RP
Mariners' Jackson Kowar: Closing in on return
2h agoKowar (elbow) could be nearing his activation from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Kowar has produced solid results in the minor leagues amidst his recovery from 2024 Tommy John surgery, posting a 2.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB over seven innings (eight appearances) on his rehab assignment. The 28-year-old right-hander should be ready to make both his Mariners and season debut by early June, and he'll likely operate as a multi-inning reliever in Seattle's bullpen once he's fully up to speed.
-
Lourdes Gurriel ARI LF
Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Adds steal in loss
2h agoGurriel went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Pirates.
Gurriel has logged two steals over his last four games, and he has four multi-hit efforts across his last five contests. The outfielder's surge at the plate has him hitting .245 on the year while adding a .719 OPS, eight home runs, 31 RBI, 19 runs scored, three steals and 12 doubles over 51 games. Gurriel's average is still by far a career low, so he should continue to rebound closer to his normal level of production.
-
Corbin Carroll ARI RF
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Launches early homer in loss
2h agoCarroll went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Pirates.
Carroll opened the scoring with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning, taking Mike Burrows' third pitch of the game out to right field. Prior to Tuesday, Carroll had gone 0-for-14 over his previous four contests. The outfielder's slump has him down to a .259/.329/.561 slash line on the year, but he's added 16 homers, 35 RBI, 42 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 55 games. Carroll is too talented to stay quiet for long, so expect him to get back on track sooner rather than later.
-
Corbin Burnes ARI SP
Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Comes up empty after strong start
2h agoBurnes allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Tuesday.
Burnes was excellent aside from allowing a two-run home run to Henry Davis in the sixth inning. The Diamondbacks' bullpen then butchered the outing for Burnes, allowing a seven-run eighth inning to cost the right-hander a win. He's rattled off five straight quality starts and has gone seven innings three times in that span. He's at a 2.72 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 57:25 K:BB over 59.2 innings across 10 starts this season, as his slightly elevated walk rate (3.8 BB/9) hasn't come back to bite him too often yet. Burnes' next outing is projected to be at Atlanta next week.

Obi Toppin IND PF
Pacers' Obi Toppin: Limited role continues
2h agoToppin amassed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Toppin logged no more than 20 minutes for the fifth straight game, continuing to serve as a complementary piece for the Pacers. In 11 games over the past month, Toppin has averaged just 7.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game. The victory gives the Pacers a 3-1 lead over the Knicks, with the series now heading back to New York.

Aaron Nesmith IND SF
Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Plays key role despite injury
2h agoNesmith accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Nesmith played through an ankle sprain suffered during the Game 3 loss, scoring in double digits for the fifth time in the past six games. He continues to play a key role on both ends of the floor, typically tasked with defending the opposition's primary assets. Through four games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Nesmith has averaged 16.5 points, 1.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per contest.
-
Pascal Siakam IND PF
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Another 30-point performance
2h agoSiakam ended with 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Siakam scored at least 30 points for the second time in the past two games, helping the Pacers extend its lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. After a somewhat subdued series against the Cavaliers, Siakam has lifted his offensive output of late. Indiana now holds a 3-1 lead with Game 5 slated for Thursday in New York.
-
Josh Hart NY SF
Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-doubles off bench
2h agoHart supplied 12 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Hart came off the bench for the second consecutive game, with head coach Tom Thibodeau opting to go with both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup. Although Hart was able to record his fifth double-double of the playoffs, his supporting numbers left a lot to be desired. Game 5 will be in New York on Thursday, with the Knicks needing a victory to extend the series.
-
Mikal Bridges NY SG
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Modest performance in Game 4 loss
2h agoBridges chipped in 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Bridges scored at least 15 points for the fifth straight game, although his peripheral production was a little underwhelming. For the most part, Bridges has been a relatively consistent producer on both ends of the floor, averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 combined steals and blocks over the past 13 games. Tuesday's loss now sees New York trailing Indiana 3-1, making Game 5 a non-negotiable for the Knicks.
-
OG Anunoby NY SF
Knicks' OG Anunoby: Drops 22 points, adds three steals
2h agoAnunoby chipped in 22 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Anunoby got it done on both ends of the floor, albeit in a losing effort. While Jalen Brunson typically garners all the attention, Anunoby has quietly put together a strong postseason, averaging 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks in 13 games over the past month. Now trailing the Pacers 3-1, the series will head back to New York for what is a must-win game for the Knicks.

Mikael Granlund DAL C
Stars' Mikael Granlund: Snags power-play assist
3h agoGranlund recorded a power-play assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
Granlund has earned three points over four games in this series, with all of his production coming on the power play. The 33-year-old is at 10 points, 29 shots on net, 37 hits, 16 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 17 playoff outings. He was shuffled into a middle-six role Tuesday, but Granlund still plays an important two-way game as one of the Stars' most versatile forwards.
-
Thomas Harley DAL D
Stars' Thomas Harley: Picks up power-play assist
3h agoHarley logged a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
Harley's strong first two rounds of the playoffs have given way to struggles in the Western Conference Finals. He's minus-4 with six PIM over four games versus the Oilers, and his helper Tuesday was his first point in the series. The 23-year-old blueliner has 12 points, a minus-9 rating, 30 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 21 hits and 10 PIM through 17 playoff appearances.
-
Jason Robertson DAL LW
Stars' Jason Robertson: Tallies on power play
3h agoRobertson scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
Robertson has scored the Stars' last two goals, which have been all of their tallies over the last three games. While it's encouraging to see Robertson emerge from his slow start to the playoffs after he bounced back from a knee injury, the rest of his teammates have not followed suit. The 25-year-old has four points, 19 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-6 rating over 10 playoff contests.
-
Jake Oettinger DAL G
Stars' Jake Oettinger: Falls short in Game 4
3h agoOettinger stopped 29 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.
It's been a different problem in each of the last three losses for Oettinger. This time, the blame falls on his teammates, who allowed the Oilers to cash in on two of three power-play chances, which ended up being the difference. Oettinger has allowed 14 goals while going 1-3 in the Western Conference Finals. The 26-year-old will have no margin for error now, as the Stars will face elimination in Thursday's Game 5 in Dallas.
-
Brett Kulak EDM D
Oilers' Brett Kulak: Offers helper in win
3h agoKulak logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Stars in Game 4.
Kulak is on a three-game point streak, earning a goal and two assists in that span. The defenseman is up to five points, 16 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-8 rating over 15 playoff appearances. Kulak continues to handle heavy defensive minutes, though he can chip in a little depth scoring as well.
-
Jake Walman EDM D
Oilers' Jake Walman: Slings helper in Game 4 win
3h agoWalman provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Stars in Game 4.
Walman has a helper in two of the last three games. He's now at four points, a plus-13 rating, 24 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 21 hits over 15 playoff contests. He continues to be utilized in a more defensive way, so don't expect a significant uptick in his scoring for the rest of the postseason.
