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
8h 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.

Ross Stripling OAK SPAthletics' Ross Stripling: Falls to 0-4
5m agoStripling (0-4) took the loss against St. Louis on Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings.
Though Stripling picked up his fourth straight loss to begin the campaign -- tied with Luis Castillo for most in the league -- he at least managed to improve upon the six-run, 11-hit performance he posted his previous time on the mound. The right-hander gave up a season-low six hits Monday and came one out away from a quality start, but he garnered only one run of support from Oakland's offense. Stripling has given the A's decent length this season by averaging nearly six innings per start, but he's well off the fantasy radar in standard leagues given his poor overall numbers.
-
Ryan Helsley STL RPCardinals' Ryan Helsley: Notches fifth save
1h 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
1h 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.
-
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.
-
Mikael Granlund SJ CSharks' Mikael Granlund: Riding 12-game point streak
2m agoGranlund provided an assist and went minus-2 in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.
Granlund has two goals and 12 helpers during his 12-game point streak. Granlund keeping the streak alive was one of the few bright spots for the Sharks in one of their worst losses of a brutal season. He's now at 12 goals, 47 helpers, 133 shots on net, 61 hits, 55 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 68 appearances on the year.
-
Danil Gushchin SJ LWSharks' Danil Gushchin: Scores in blowout loss
4m agoGushchin scored a goal in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.
Gushchin has a goal and an assist over three NHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old winger has added five blocked shots and four shots on net. He posted 54 points over 56 contests with AHL San Jose prior to his call-up. Gushchin has been given plenty of time to develop in the AHL, so he should have a chance at an NHL job in training camp in the fall.
-
Fabian Zetterlund SJ LWSharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Scores late in loss
6m agoZetterlund scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.
Zetterlund has three goals and five assists over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old's tally Monday was far too late to make a difference in the game, but it's good to see him still making an effort late in a lost season for the Sharks. He's at 23 goals, 43 points, 200 shots on net, 120 hits, 71 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating through 81 appearances.
-
Devin Cooley SJ G
Sharks' Devin Cooley: Ugly showing Monday
11m agoCooley allowed eight goals on 22 shots in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.
Cooley was pulled just over halfway through the second period, but the game was already long over. The 26-year-old has given up 20 goals over five appearances this season while salvaging a 2-2-1 record at the NHL level. He's not a particularly strong option for Thursday's game versus the Flames, but it's at least a better matchup than Monday's was.
-
Brett Kulak EDM DOilers' Brett Kulak: Manages assist Monday
15m agoKulak posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Kulak has two helpers over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman doesn't tend to chip in much offense from a third-pairing role, which has occasionally led to him seeing limited minutes as well. He's produced 15 points, 88 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 71 hits and a plus-3 rating over 80 appearances this season.
-
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins EDM COilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Pockets assist in win
16m agoNugent-Hopkins registered an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Nugent-Hopkins has a goal and five helpers over his last five contests. The 31-year-old forward hasn't shown a lot of consistency lately -- he doesn't have a point streak of more than three games since the All-Star break. For the season, he's at 67 points, 182 shots on net, 62 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 79 appearances.
