    Seahawks' Robbie Ouzts: Won't suit up for Super Bowl
    1h ago

    Ouzts (neck) is inactive for Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Ouzts was limited in all three practices this past week due to a lingering neck injury, but he has not been cleared by the medical staff to play in Sunday's Super Bowl. Brady Russell will be the Seahawks' fullback in Ouzts' absence.

    1h ago

    DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday.

    As he's done for the whole 2025 season, DeVito will be the emergency QB3 behind Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. That means DeVito is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Maye and Dobbs were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

    Patriots' Harold Landry: Good to go against Seattle
    1h ago

    Landry (knee) is active for Sunday's Super Bowl LX clash against the Seahawks.

    Landry had his practice reps limited over the last two weeks in order to manage a lingering knee issue. He drew the questionable tag after posting an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week, but the veteran edge rusher has been given the green light to play in Sunday's Super Bowl after not playing in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. Landry saw limited snaps on defense in his two playoff outings with the Patriots, and if that's the case against Seattle, then both Elijah Ponder and Anfernee Jennings would be in line for more work.

    Spillane (ankle) is active for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Spillane was able to log a limited practice in Friday's session, and that was enough for him to be cleared to play in the final game of the 2025 season. He has accumulated 14 tackles (five solo) and five pass defenses over the Patriots' three playoff games and will start alongside Christian Elliss at inside linebacker.

  • Lil'Jordan Humphrey DEN WR
    Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Underwhelming season in 2025
    5h ago

    Humphrey ended the 2025 regular season with 13 receptions on 25 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown across 10 regular season games.

    Humphrey began the 2025 campaign with the Giants, recording four receptions for 55 yards over three games. The Broncos signed the veteran wideout away from New York's practice squad ahead of Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. The veteran wideout rejoined the Broncos, having spent the previous two seasons in Denver. Humphrey provided depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he'll hope to be signed by a team looking for help in their wide receiver room ahead of the 2026 campaign. It's possible, however, that Humphrey could re-sign with the Broncos based on his familiarity with head coach Sean Payton's system.

  • MJ Melendez KC LF
    Mets' MJ Melendez: Inks deal with NYM
    3h ago

    Melendez agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Mets on Sunday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    The 27-year-old was non-tendered by the Royals in November, but he was eventually able to land an MLB contract for 2026. The Mets have avoided spending big on a left fielder this winter with top prospect Carson Benge on the cusp of his major-league debut, but Melendez represents a low-cost option that provides short-term depth. Melendez clubbed 51 homers from 2022 to 2024 but has a career .215 average in the majors and played in just 23 big-league games last season.

  • Johan Oviedo BOS SP
    Red Sox's Johan Oviedo: Positive fastball signs in return
    7h ago

    Oviedo's fastball improved significantly upon his return from elbow surgery in 2025, Mike Petriello of MLB.com reports.

    Surface indicators aren't particularly kind to Oviedo, but the Red Sox took a deeper dive and liked the direction of the right-hander's fastball. Prior to undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery in 2024, Oviedo had a decent-enough campaign over 177.2 innings for the Pirates in 2023. That's when he finished 11th in MLB with a plus-11 Run Value on his slider. His fastball, however, was at the other end of the spectrum, minus-10 (178th out of 179 qualified starters). Oviedo's four-seamer had respectable velocity (96 mph) but poor vertical movement. Upon his return in 2025, both metrics showed significant improvement. The pitch that allowed a .275 batting average and .465 slugging percentage in 2023 dropped to .149/.383, while its Whiff rate climbed from 18.5 percent to 31.3. Its Stuff+ metric rose from 82 in 2023 to 115 last year. The Red Sox believe they're getting in on Oviedo at the right time, but it's important to note the small sample size in 2025 -- just 40.1 innings -- and that Oviedo's already troublesome walk rate (4.2 BB/9 in 2023) ticked higher to 5.1 in 2025.

  • Brett Baty NYM 3B
    Mets' Brett Baty: Will get reps in left field
    8h ago

    Baty has been working out in left field this offseason, and he'll continue getting reps at the position this spring, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Top prospect Carson Benge appears to be the Mets' Plan A in left, but the 23-year-old may not be quite ready to make the leap to the majors after playing only 24 games at Triple-A last year with a poor .583 OPS. That would leave Baty and Tyrone Taylor as the best remaining options to fill LF, potentially in a platoon that would favor Baty as the left-handed hitter. Baty does have a bit of experience in left field, playing 29 games there for Double-A Binghamton in 2021-22, and the offseason acquisitions of Marcus Semien, Bo Bichette and Jorge Polanco leave no room on the infield for the natural third baseman. Baty is also a better hitter than Taylor, whose value mainly comes from his glove -- from Aug. 1 to the end of the regular season in 2025, Baty slashed .308/.370/.496 with seven homers in 146 plate appearances.

  • Sandy Alcantara MIA SP
    Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Likely Opening Day starter
    8h ago

    Alcantara is the favorite to get the Opening Day start for the Marlins, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    It's an honor the right-hander has been given five times previously, and after he surprisingly was one of the starting pitchers Miami didn't trade this offseason, Alcantara's only real competition for the assignment is Eury Perez. Alcantara also believes he's much more prepared to regain his top form in 2026 than he was last season in his return from Tommy John surgery. "Coming back from TJ, you're not going to do great since the first day," he said Friday. "You've got to be step by step. Mentally, I was thinking too much, people talking negative about myself... I've just got to be able to be healthy this year, showing the people in Spring Training that I can do great and just got to keep believing." Alcantara did seem to turn a corner over the final six weeks of 2025, posting a 2.68 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB over his last eight starts and 53.2 innings.

  • Jose Berrios TOR SP
    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Role uncertain heading into camp
    8h ago

    Berrios (elbow) doesn't have a clear path to a spot in the Blue Jays rotation to begin the season, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Berrios endured a tough 2025, finishing the regular season on the IL due to a sore elbow and then getting left off the postseason roster. The veteran right-hander has made 30-plus starts in five straight seasons, with last year's 166.0 innings representing his lowest total for a full campaign since 2017 with Minnesota, but Toronto's offseason moves to bring in Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce would seem to have Berrios ticketed for the Opening Day bullpen. He still has three years and $67 million left on his contract as well, which will make him tough to trade given his mediocre 4.17 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 11.8 percent K%-BB% in 2025. With Shane Bieber (forearm) and Trey Yesavage both having potential workload concerns, however, Berrios could still end up getting plenty of starts in 2026 while filling a swingman role.

  • Ryne Nelson ARI SP
    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Prepared for 30-plus starts
    9h ago

    Nelson focused on getting physically stronger this offseason so that he can handle the rigors of 30 or more starts in 2026, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander has bounced between the rotation and bullpen the last three seasons but threw a career-high 154.0 innings in 2025. His first 10 appearances were out of the bullpen, before he shifted to the rotation in late May when Corbin Burnes required Tommy John surgery. With Burnes projected to be out until the second half of 2026, Nelson enters spring training with a guaranteed spot in the rotation, per general manager Mike Hazen. Nelson has relied heavily on his fastball but has also worked on his slider and curveball, and both pitches showed promise in 2025.

    Huff finished Sunday's game as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (18 points), and the former has recorded two blocks in four of his last five outings. Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last four games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as newcomer Ivica Zubac (ankle) is sidelined.

    Siakam accrued all of his stats through the first three quarters, as he and two other Pacers starters sat out for the entire fourth quarter. He has failed to reach the 20-point threshold in two consecutive games after doing so in each of his 10 prior outings. Siakam has averaged 23.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 threes over 33.6 minutes per game since the new year.

CJ McCollum, Gabe Vincent and Buddy Hield figure to be the top candidates to enter Atlanta's starting lineup if Daniels is unable to play Monday.

    Flyers' Jett Luchanko: Goal, assist in OHL win
    1h ago

    Luchanko scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Brantford's 5-2 win over Kingston on Sunday.

    Luchanko's scoring pace has dropped since he was traded to the Bulldogs. He posted 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) in 11 games with Guelph before the trade, but he's picked up just four goals and 11 helpers over 19 contests with Brantford. That puts him at 31 points in 30 appearances, down from his 1.22 points per game pace in the 2024-25 regular season. Luchanko still has time to find a groove for his production, though he'll likely be doing so in the AHL in 2026-27.
