Xavier Gipson NYG WR
Giants' Xavier Gipson: Signed to active roster
2m agoThe Giants signed Gipson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Gipson signed with the Giants' practice squad after being waived by the Eagles, and the wide receiver will get his first shot with his new NFC East team in Week 18. The 24-year-old is set to be the secondary kick and punt returner behind Gunner Olszewski, and will likely see most of his Sunday reps with the special-teams unit.

Elijah Molden LAC CB
Chargers' Elijah Molden: Ruled out for Sunday
12m agoMolden (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Molden was already doubtful to suit up, and with the Chargers sitting Justin Herbert (left hand/rest), it makes sense that the team would want to preserve other players' health for the playoffs. Newly signed defensive back Marcus Maye will likely take over Molden's role for Week 18.
-
Milton Williams NE DE
Patriots' Milton Williams: Activated from IR
18m agoThe Patriots activated Williams (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Williams was able to log a full practice Friday and holds no injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt. The defensive end is all set to suit up for his first game since Week 11. Due to the 26-year-old's return, Cory Durden will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.
-
Patrick Herbert JAC TE
Jaguars' Patrick Herbert: Elevated for Week 18
22m agoThe Chargers elevated Herbert from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Herbert's first elevation of the 2025 campaign will be for the Chargers' Week 18 divisional matchup. The tight end is set to suit up as a reserve option, and if he sees any snaps, they will likely be on special teams as a blocker.
-
Bobby Brown III CAR DT
Panthers' Bobby Brown: Ruled out with concussion
33m agoBrown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Panthers, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Brown exited the game in the second quarter after suffering a head injury, which has been confirmed to be a concussion. The defensive end will now enter the league's five-step concussion protocol. If the Panthers can secure a playoff birth by the end of Week 18, Brown will be tasked with upgrading his practice participation and clearing the league's protocol in the hopes of playing in the team's wildcard matchup.
-
Ruke Orhorhoro ATL DT
Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Questionable for Sunday
37m agoOrhorhoro (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Orhorhoro may have been struck by the same issue as cornerback A.J. Terrell (illness). If the starting nose tackle is unable to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash, Kentavius Street is in line for a significant increase in defensive snaps. Elijah Garcia may also see an increased snap share as a rotational defensive lineman due to Orhorhoro's potential absence.

Orlando Arcia COL 3B
Twins' Orlando Arcia: Signs minors deal with Twins
3h agoArcia signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Arcia endured his worst season in the big leagues last year, slashing .202/.238/.291 with 13 RBI and 13 runs scored across 214 plate appearances between Atlanta and Colorado. The 31-year-old will have a chance to bounce back in the Twins' farm system, but he likely won't act as more than bench depth if he makes it back to the majors in 2026.
-
Kaleb Ort HOU RP
Astros' Kaleb Ort: Dropped from 40-man
1d agoThe Astros designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Ort posted a 4.89 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 46 innings with the Astros in 2025 before missing the final month of the season due to elbow inflammation. He'll now lose his place on Houston's 40-man roster to make room for Tatsuya Imai.
-
Ryan Fitzgerald MIN 3B
Twins' Ryan Fitzgerald: Booted off 40-man roster
1d agoThe Twins designated Fitzgerald for assignment Friday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Eric Wagaman, who was acquired via trade. Fitzgerald reached the majors for the first time in 2025 shortly before turning 31, finishing with a .196/.302/.457 batting line with four home runs in 24 games for the Twins. He's a versatile defender, which could mean there will be interest in Fitzgerald on waivers.
-
Eric Wagaman MIN 1B
Twins' Eric Wagaman: Traded to Minnesota
1d agoThe Twins acquired Wagaman from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Kade Bragg.
Wagaman had been designated for assignment earlier this week and is now on the move to a new club. The 28-year-old slashed .250/.296/.378 with nine home runs across 140 games for the Marlins this season and is capable of handling the corner infield and outfield spots. Wagaman sported a .283/.321/.462 batting line against lefties in 2025, so much of his playing time in Minnesota could come versus southpaws.

David Fry CLE C
Guardians' David Fry: Won't be limited to DH in 2026
1d agoCleveland manager Stephen Vogt said earlier this month that Fry (face) is expected to resume playing defense during the 2026 season, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. "I'm just excited that David is going to be healthy," Vogt said. "David having a full winter, healthy, completed the [throwing] rehab. It's going to be really exciting to be able to use him the way his skill set is intended."
After undergoing Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow last November, Fry was cleared to make his 2025 debut for the Guardians in late May but ended being limited exclusively to designated-hitter and pinch-hitting duties throughout the season. His campaign came to an early end when he was hit in the face by a pitch from the Tigers' Tarik Skubal on Sept. 23, resulting in Fry requiring surgery to repair nasal fractures. Vogt suggested that Fry has fully healed from that procedure, putting the 30-year-old on track to resume duties as the team's third catch while also being in the mix for playing time at the infield and outfield corners in 2026. Fry's ability to hit lefties -- he had a .996 OPS against southpaws in 2024 -- should provide a boost to the Guardians, who ranked 27th against left-handers in 2025 with a .647 OPS.

Matt Fraizer PIT CF
Red Sox's Matt Fraizer: Lands with Boston
1d agoFraizer confirmed Friday via his personal Instagram account that he agreed to a minor-league contract with the Red Sox.
Fraizer joins an organization with an outfield logjam in the majors but which lacks depth in the minors. The 27-year-old batted .305/.361/.452 with three home runs and 14 stolen bases across 62 games for Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization in 2025.

Moe Wagner ORL C
Magic's Moritz Wagner: Nearing return to action
4m agoWagner (knee) is expected to return "within the next week," Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Wagner has yet to make his season debut after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee last January, though he's inching closer to a return. The 28-year-old big man will likely be eased back into action whenever he's cleared to come back, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Wizards. In 30 regular-season appearances (one start) in the 2024-25 campaign, Wagner averaged 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.8 minutes per contest.

Victor Wembanyama SA C
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Likely to travel to Memphis
10m agoWembanyama (knee) is likely travel to Memphis for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
According to coach Mitch Johnson, Wembanyama is "looking really good" and he expects the big man to join the team on the trip. He also said the center is day-to-day. The Spurs have been super cautious with Wembanyama previously, and it's worth mentioning that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set.

Kelly Oubre Jr. PHI SG
76ers' Kelly Oubre: Cleared for 5-on-5 work
14m agoOubre (knee) has been cleared to return to 5-on-5 work in practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Oubre hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a sprained LCL in his left knee, though he's seemingly getting close to a return to game action. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Nuggets. The veteran swingman has appeared in 12 regular-season games thus far, averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.8 minutes per tilt. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction whenever he's cleared to return.
-
Trendon Watford PHI PF
76ers' Trendon Watford: Ready for 5-on-5
16m agoWatford (thigh) will be cleared for 5-on-5 practice Sunday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Watford hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left adductor strain, but the forward is set to return in the near future. Across 14 appearances this season, Watford has produced averages of 8.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. MIA SF
Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Won't return Saturday
25m agoJaquez won't return to Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained right ankle.
Jaquez sustained the sprained ankle when he stepped on an opposing player's foot in the second quarter. The 24-year-old swingman was initially deemed probable to return, though he was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter. He'll finish with six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 10 minutes. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against New Orleans, and if Jaquez is forced to miss time, Dru Smith and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to see increased playing time off the bench.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. MIA SF
Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Probable to return Saturday
29m agoJaquez sprained his right ankle in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Timberwolves and is likely to return, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jaquez stepped on an opposing player's foot and turned his ankle before limping to the locker room. However, he's likely to return to the hardwood at some point Saturday. The 24-year-old swingman logged 10 minutes before picking up the injury, posting six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal.

Spencer Knight CHI G
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Facing Capitals
3m agoKnight will guard the road goal versus the Capitals on Saturday, per CHGO Sports.
Knight is set for his fourth straight start. He's allowed nine goals on 55 shots over his last three games, but he's coming off a 4-3 win over the Stars on Thursday. The Capitals have scored 21 goals over their last six games.
-
Scott Wedgewood COL G
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to face Carolina
4m agoWedgewood is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Saturday, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Wedgewood has a 17-1-2 record, 2.13 GAA and .919 save percentage in 24 appearances in 2025-26. He hasn't lost in regulation over his past 15 outings (12-0-2). Carolina ranks eighth in goals per game with 3.28.
-
Gavin Bayreuther CAR D
Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Reassigned Saturday
5m agoBayreuther was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.
Bayreuther was up as injury insurance for the Hurricanes' blue line. With fewer injury concerns over the last week, he's no longer needed with the big club and will wait for his next chance at a call-up while playing with the Wolves.
-
Shakir Mukhamadullin SJ D
Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Injured again Saturday
18m agoMukhamadullin (undisclosed) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Lightning, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Mukhamadullin battled an upper-body injury in mid-December and was also dealing with a lower-body injury that he was able to play through at the end of the month. It's unclear if this injury is related to either of the previous two. If Mukhamadullin can't play Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, the Sharks could turn to Nick Leddy or John Klingberg (lower body) to take his place in the lineup.
-
Frederik Andersen CAR G
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Between pipes Saturday
