    49ers' Trent Taylor: Returns to The Bay
    11m ago

    Taylor signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.

    Taylor started his career in San Francisco before a two-year stay with the Bengals and spending the 2023 campaign with the Bears. The 29-year-old will likely have the opportunity to earn a role in the return game with the departure of Ray-Ray McCloud in free agency this offseason.

    Trent Taylor: Could return to The Bay
    1h ago

    Taylor has talked to the 49ers about a potential return to the team this offseason, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Taylor was selected by San Francisco in the fifth round of the 2017 Draft and spent three seasons there before stops in Cincinnati and Chicago. The 49ers do currently have a void in their return game, with Ray-Ray McCloud now in Atlanta, which is likely where the interest in Taylor lies.

  • Deshaun Watson CLE QB
    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Throwing full speed
    3h ago

    Watson (shoulder) said Tuesday he's already resumed "throwing full speed" but that he's uncertain how large a workload he'll handle during OTAs and minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Watson clarified that certain members of the Browns' medical staff are in favor of a more conservative approach to the quarterback's recovery from right shoulder surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, which would wait until training camp to have him fully practice. Still, Watson has been fully forthright in his confidence to be available for the Browns' season opener, and there appear to be no real worries about his Week 1 status. In case Watson misses part of the offseason, or struggles during the fall, Cleveland can lean on newly-signed, experienced backups Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley.

  • Odell Beckham Jr. BAL WR
    Odell Beckham: Nothing imminent with Miami
    4h ago

    Dolphins 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 WR
    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Fifth-year option to be exercised
    4h ago

    General 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.

    Lions' Taylor Decker: Recovered from offseason surgery
    4h ago

    Decker 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 missed only 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.

  • Jonathan Cannon CHW P
    White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Officially promoted for MLB debut
    2m ago

    The White Sox selected Cannon's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Cannon has made two starts so far in the minors, allowing three earned runs across 9.2 innings while striking out 11 batters and walking five. He will start Tuesday's game against the Royals, though the 23-year-old righty will most likely be sent back to Charlotte after making his MLB debut. In order to make room for Cannon, Jared Shuster was optioned to Triple-A, and Josimar Cousin was designated for assignment.

    White Sox's Jared Shuster: Optioned to Charlotte
    5m ago

    The White Sox optioned Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Shuster will lose his spot on Chicago's big-league roster to make room for Jonathan Cannon, who was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old southpaw was solid during his brief stint in the majors, surrendering just one earned run across 6.1 innings through two appearances. If Shuster is able to continue finding success in the minors, he could return to the White Sox as a multi-inning relief option later this season.

    Brewers' Christian Yelich: Absence continues Tuesday
    15m ago

    Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    The 32-year-old hasn't seen the field since Friday, and he'll sit for the fourth straight game as he continues to deal with the back injury. According to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Brewers considered Tuesday a deadline for a potential IL move for Yelich, but it remains to be seen if he's shifted to the shelf.

    Royals' Salvador Perez: Out of Tuesday's lineup
    16m ago

    Perez (groin) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the White Sox.

    Perez will miss a second straight start after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left groin strain. He intends to attempt to play through the injury, but with an afternoon game Wednesday representing the Royals' final game of their road trip, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Perez at least held out until Friday following Thursday's off day. Freddy Fermin will catch Tuesday.

  • Jake Cronenworth SD 1B
    Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Sitting out with calf injury
    19m ago

    Cronenworth (calf) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.

    Cronenworth was pulled from Monday's contest with calf tightness, so it's no surprise to see him sitting a day later. The good news is that he has not been placed on the injured list as the Padres brought up Matthew Batten as infield protection, projecting some apparent optimism that it's a day-to-day situation for Cronenworth. Jurickson Profar will handle first base Tuesday, while Jose Azocar will be in left field.

  • Michael Harris ATL CF
    Braves' Michael Harris: Up to two spot with Albies out
    23m ago

    Harris will start in center field and bat second for Atlanta in Tuesday's game in Houston.

    With Ozzie Albies (toe) slated to miss some time, Harris figures to occupy the two hole in the Atlanta lineup indefinitely. It's a nice boost for his immediate fantasy outlook, as Tuesday is the first time this season he's batted higher than sixth. Harris is slashing .290/.333/.468 with two homers and one stolen base so far in 2024.

    Martin (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

    Martin missed the final three games of the regular season due to a left great toe contusion but may return for the start of postseason play. If cleared, he isn't guaranteed a major role, but Martin did have consistent bench minutes before his absence.

    76ers' De'Anthony Melton: Won't play Wednesday
    35m ago

    Melton (back/injury recovery) will be unavailable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against Miami.

    Melton has logged just five appearances since Jan. 12, being unable to return to 100 percent after initially dealing with a lumbar stress reaction in his spine. Subsequent attempts to return to action have been short-lived, and his absence from Philadelphia's rotation is a notable loss defensively. Win or lose Wednesday, Philadelphia will have another postseason contest in store, but Melton's outlook is currently bleak.

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Officially questionable
    42m ago

    Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

    Embiid sat out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets due to precautionary reasons but practiced Monday and Tuesday. The 76ers have won eight straight, including five in a row with Embiid back in the lineup, and the reining MVP has looked great in the process, averaging 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game.

    Rockets' Steven Adams: On track for training camp

    Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Adams (knee) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

    Adams missed the 2023-24 campaign after receiving a season-ending knee surgery in November. The 30-year-old is likely to serve as a veteran presence off the bench behind Alperen Sengun (knee/ankle) next season.

    Rockets' Tari Eason: On track for training camp
    1h ago

    Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Eason (lower leg) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

    Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg but is expected to make a full recovery by the time training camp rolls around in the fall. In 22 appearances last season, Eason averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes. The 22-year-old is a versatile prospect on both ends of the floor, but with other young options in the frontcourt such as Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, Eason may struggle to win playing time.

    Love will join Caleb Martin and an otherwise inexperienced cast of forwards in Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez for Miami's postseason rotation Wednesday. Love averaged 6.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.0 minutes across 20 games in the 2023 playoffs.

    Imama (upper body) will not be in action versus the Bruins on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Imama logged just six NHL games this season in which he failed to register a point while recording 22 hits, one block and seven PIM. The 27-year-old winger hasn't scored a goal since the 2021-22 campaign when he was with the Coyotes. In the minors this season, Imama hasn't been significantly more productive with just 10 points in 53 outings.

    Lindgren will be between the pipes on the road against the Flyers on Tuesday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Lindgren gets the starting nod on the second game of the Caps' season-ending back-to-back after stopping all 16 shots he faced versus Boston on Monday. Perhaps if the Minnesota native had faced a heavier workload the club would have decided to role with Darcy Kuemper. In his last five outings, the backstop is 3-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and a .931 save percentage. If Washington makes the playoffs, Lindgren figures to remain the preferred choice between the pipes.
