Shemar Jean-Charles NO CBSaints' Shemar Jean-Charles: Back in Big Easy
6h 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
8h 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
8h 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
9h 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.

Ryan Helsley STL RPCardinals' Ryan Helsley: Notches fifth save
36m agoHelsley earned a save against the Athletics on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.
Helsley had no trouble slamming the door on Oakland in the bottom of the ninth frame, retiring the side on just 10 pitches, four of which were swinging strikes. After blowing his first save chance of the campaign against the Dodgers on March 30, the right-hander has been successful on each of his subsequent six attempts, and he's held the opponent scoreless in seven of his past eight outings. On the season, Helsley has an impressive 11:1 K:BB over nine innings.
-
Sonny Gray STL SPCardinals' Sonny Gray: Tosses six scoreless frames Monday
41m agoGray (2-0) earned the victory over Oakland on Monday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed four hits and no walks while striking out six batters.
Gray needed just 72 pitches (50 of which were strikes) to get through six frames but wasn't allowed to go deeper since he's still getting fully ramped up. After opening the campaign on the injured list due to a hamstring injury, the veteran hurler has dominated in his first two starts, pitching 11 scoreless frames while racking up an 11:0 K:BB. Gray has won both of those outings, getting off to a promising beginning in his quest for his first double-digit win season since 2019.
-
Mike Trout LAA CFAngels' Mike Trout: Swats go-ahead home run
1h 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
1h 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
1h 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
1h 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.
-
Olivier Sarr OKC CThunder's Olivier Sarr: Goes down with ankle injury
3h 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
6h 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
6h 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
8h 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
8h 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
8h 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.
-
Leon Draisaitl EDM COilers' Leon Draisaitl: Picks up pair of helpers
2m agoDraisaitl recorded two assists in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Draisaitl went consecutive games without a point entering Monday, but he helped out on both of Warren Foegele's tallies in the blowout win. That was Draisaitl's first multi-game slump since Dec. 14-16. The 28-year-old center is up to 41 goals, 65 assists, 215 shots on net, 58 hits, 76 PIM and a plus-27 rating through 80 contests overall.
-
Darnell Nurse EDM DOilers' Darnell Nurse: Distributes three helpers
4m agoNurse logged three assists, three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Nurse crossed the 20-assist mark in Monday's blowout win. He has a goal and six helpers over his last six games to get his offense on track late in the campaign. The blueliner is up to 32 points, 181 shots on net, 168 hits, 169 blocked shots, 79 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 80 appearances in a top-four role this season.
-
Cody Ceci EDM DOilers' Cody Ceci: Scores in Monday's win
7m agoCeci scored a goal, levied three hits and went plus-4 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Ceci led the Oilers with 21:26 of ice time in the lopsided contest. He has two goals and two helpers over his last five outings, though that's a bit more offense than he usually produces. The 30-year-old blueliner is at five goals, 25 points, 96 shots on net, 90 hits, 106 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 78 contests overall.
-
Corey Perry EDM RWOilers' Corey Perry: Contributes two points
18m agoPerry scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
This was Perry's first multi-point effort since Feb. 17. He has four points over his last six games, though Monday's effort is likely more of an anomaly. The 38-year-old winger remains in a bottom-six role, and he may be used sparingly once the playoffs begin. Perry has 22 points, 80 shots on net, 43 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 52 outings this season.
-
Evan Bouchard EDM DOilers' Evan Bouchard: Collects two points in win
20m agoBouchard scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-3 and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Bouchard had gone three games without a point entering Monday, his longest slump since January. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 18 goals, 63 helpers, 217 shots on net, 105 blocked shots and a plus-35 rating through 80 contests overall. Bouchard needs just two more points over the final two games to match his total from the previous two campaigns combined.
-
Zach Hyman EDM COilers' Zach Hyman: Two points in blowout win
23m agoHyman scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Hyman wasn't even the highlight on his goal Monday -- it was set up by Connor McDavid, who secured the first 100-assist season in 33 years with the helper. It's been a slightly slower April for Hyman, who has two goals and three helpers over eight games this month. The winger is at 54 goals, 77 points, 288 shots on net, 86 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-38 rating through 79 outings overall.
