Travis Kelce KC TEChiefs' Travis Kelce: Likely to be present at minicamp
17h agoKelce is expected to attend the Chiefs' mandatory minicamp during the coming week, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Kelce shared in early February that he wasn't sure if he'd be returning for another season, but the star tight end stated later that month that he'd decided to play in 2025. With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that Kelce will be with the Chiefs during the team's mandatory minicamp, which runs Tuesday through Thursday during the coming week. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com notes that Kelce, who didn't take part in Kansas City's voluntary OTAs last week, has slimmed down during the offseason as he approaches his 13th NFL campaign.

Harold Fannin Jr. CLE TEBrowns' Harold Fannin: May have major role as rookie
1d agoFannin could be a big part of a Browns offense that is likely to run more two-tight-end sets in 2025, per ESPN.com.
Cleveland invested significant stock in Fannin, taking him in the third round of April's NFL Draft. The Bowling Green product showed off serious pass-catching skills in college, tallying 117 receptions on 156 targets for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final campaign. The reception and yardage totals were the most by a tight end in a single season in FBS history, though at 6-foot-3, 241 pounds, Fannin is a bit undersized for his position in the NFL. That said, Browns tight ends coach Christian Jones praised Fannin for his strong hands and ability to track the ball following a strong practice Thursday, and the incoming rookie could immediately get looks in the Browns' offense alongside veteran TE David Njoku, who is heading into the final season of a four-year contract.

Dalton Kincaid BUF TEBills' Dalton Kincaid: Adds strength ahead of third season
1d agoKincaid has "added both strength and bulk" during the offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Kincaid dealt with knee injuries last year, causing him to miss three regular-season games and to log lower snap counts following his Week 15 return. Bills GM Brandon Beane attributed the talented tight end's lessened statistics -- he went from a 73-673-2 receiving line in the regular season as a rookie to a 44-448-2 line as a sophomore -- to the knee issues, saying Kincaid's campaign was "really more of an injury thing and nothing more than that." Per Buscaglia, Kincaid impressed during practice Thursday and now has a clean bill of health. He adds that Kincaid's increased strength could help him remain on the field more often for run-blocking reps, which would increase his offensive snap count and be a boost to Buffalo's offense.

Brandon Aiyuk SF WR49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Reportedly thriving in workouts
2d agoSan Francisco general manager John Lynch said Thursday that Aiyuk (knee) has been "doing a tremendous job coming back," Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Aiyuk isn't expected to be ready to participate in training camp in late July as he continues to work his way back from from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, but the wideout has made a positive impression with his recovery. Lynch commented that Aiyuk has been "putting in the work" and stated that "it's kind of incredible how well he's healing." It's not year clear when Aiyuk will be ready for game action, and he probably won't be active when the 49ers open the 2025 season Sept. 7 against Seattle. However, he's on track to lead the team's wideout corps when he does return following the offseason departure of Deebo Samuel to Washington.

Maxwell Hairston BUF CBBills' Maxwell Hairston: Inks first pro deal
2d agoHairston (hamstring) signed his rookie contract Friday.
The Bills have big plans for the speedy rookie, as he's lined up for a starting cornerback role right out of the gate after being selected 30th overall in April, assuming the pulled hamstring he suffered this week during minicamp is nothing major. Hairston's Kentucky teammate Deone Walker also signed his rookie deal Friday.

Anthony Richardson IND QBColts' Anthony Richardson: Expected back for training camp
2d agoRichardson (shoulder) won't need surgery and should be healthy for the start of Colts training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Richardson did not participate in Indianapolis' minicamp that ended Thursday due to an AC joint injury to his right shoulder, and he sought a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who previously performed surgery to address the issue. The results of that second opinion appear to indicate that the 23-year-old quarterback does not need surgery and should be ready for training camp in late July. That's a major boost to Richardson's chances of opening the 2025 season as the Colts' starting QB, as newcomer Daniel Jones has ample starting experience and worked with the first-team offense while Richardson was unavailable during minicamp.

Ronald Acuna ATL RFBraves' Ronald Acuna: Stays hot in win
4h agoAcuna went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three runs scored in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Colorado.
Acuna's red-hot 2025 rolled on Saturday, as he notched his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and launched his seventh home run of the season. The 2023 National League MVP didn't make his season debut until May 23 while recovering from a torn ACL, but he's been among the league's top hitters since returning. The superstar is slashing .387/.471/.707 with 10 extra-base hits and 13 RBI over 87 plate appearances across 20 games.

Chase Dollander COL SPRockies' Chase Dollander: Suffers seventh loss
4h agoDollander (2-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out four.
Dollander allowed plenty of baserunners but managed to complete six innings while keeping Colorado within striking distance. Like the rest of the pitching staff, the rookie has endured significant struggles this season, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 50.2 innings over 11 starts.
-
Spencer Strider ATL SPBraves' Spencer Strider: Notches first win of season
4h agoStrider (1-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out 13.
Strider returned to form Saturday, racking up a season-high 13 strikeouts in a dominant outing. The right-hander's 2025 campaign has been challenging, as he's worked his way back from elbow surgery followed by a hamstring injury early in his return. On the season, the 26-year-old owns a 4.35 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 31 innings in six starts.
-
Max Muncy ATH 2BAthletics' Max Muncy: Slugs homer in win
4h agoMuncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over Kansas City.
The infielder launched a hanging slider from Michael Lorenzen into the left-field bullpen for a two-run homer in the second inning. Muncy has shown a clear uptick in power this June, slashing .270/.289/.595 with four home runs and 11 RBI over 37 at-bats. This may be a lost season for the Athletics in terms of playoff contention, but continued growth from the rookie would be a welcome development.
-
Michael Lorenzen KC SPRoyals' Michael Lorenzen: Suffers seventh loss
4h agoLorenzen (4-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.
The right-hander was burned by extra-base hits with men on base, surrendering a two-run homer to Max Muncy in the second inning and an RBI double to Luis Urias in the fourth inning. The veteran has endured a rough season, particularly of late, posting a 7.40 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 24.1 innings across his past five starts. Cole Ragans' shoulder injury slightly thins the Royals' rotation depth, but Lorenzen will still need to elevate his performance to retain his spot.
-
Jacob Lopez ATH SPAthletics' Jacob Lopez: Fans nine in win
5h agoLopez (1-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Royals. He struck out nine.
Lopez was spectacular Saturday, striking out a career-high nine batters. The 27-year-old has bounced between the majors and minors, as well as between the bullpen and rotation, but he's been excellent in his past two appearances, allowing no earned runs over 10 innings while posting a 14:3 K:BB.

Steven Adams HOU CRockets' Steven Adams: Signs three-year extension
18h agoThe Rockets have agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension with Adams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Adams was expected to be a hot commodity in free agency this summer after having an impressive showing in the NBA playoffs. The Rockets value what the veteran center brings to the table and got an extension done before he could test free agency in July. In seven games during the postseason, Adams averaged 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 60 percent from the field.

Obi Toppin IND PFPacers' Obi Toppin: Strong performance not enough
1d agoToppin registered 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Toppin was fantastic despite the loss, scoring at least 17 points for the third time in the past five games. Rick Carlisle opted to go with Myles Turner down the stretch, a decision that was met with some confusion given the play of Toppin. The Pacers squandered a great opportunity to go up 3-1 and will now head to Oklahoma City for what promises to be another fast-paced matchup.

Myles Turner IND CPacers' Myles Turner: Non-factor in Game 4 loss
1d agoTurner contributed 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Turner couldn't find any rhythm on the offensive end, missing several key baskets as the Pacers gave up a double-digit lead. In fact, Turner failed to hit a three-pointer for the first time since the opening round against the Bucks. With the series now all square, Turner will need to rediscover his form ahead of what promises to be a series-defining Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Monday.
-
Bennedict Mathurin IND SFPacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Crashes back to earth in loss
1d agoMathurin supplied eight points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Mathurin couldn't repeat his heroics from Game 3, stringing together arguably the worst 60 seconds of his career as the Pacers squandered what could have been a series-defining lead. Mathurin committed two dead-ball fouls while also going 1-of-4 from the line down the stretch. Aaron Nesmith fouled out in the dying stages, and Rick Carlisle opted to go with Mathurin as opposed to T.J. McConnell, who was seemingly having more of a positive impact on the game. With the series now level at 2-2, Indiana will look to wrestle back control when the two teams meet again Monday.

Isaiah Hartenstein OKC CThunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Quiet despite start
1d agoHartenstein finished Friday's 111-104 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals with two points (1-3 FG), six rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes.
Hartenstein moved back into the starting lineup, although his production told a different story. In what has been an unfavorable matchup, Hartenstein has been a non-factor to this point, with both the Thunder and the Pacers opting to run smaller, interchangeable lineups. Hartenstein has played more than 20 minutes only twice in the past seven games. Friday's win means Oklahoma City will head home for Game 5 with the series locked at 2-2.
-
Alex Caruso OKC PGThunder's Alex Caruso: Another 20-point performance
1d agoCaruso chipped in 20 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one block and five steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-104 victory over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Caruso continues to be a thorn in the side of Indiana, scoring at least 20 points for the second time in the past four games. To highlight just how vital his scoring has been, Caruso had scored at least 20 points only once all season prior to the NBA finals. He has also recorded multiple steals in five of the past six games, providing the Thunder with a consistent defensive presence. The series is now level at 2-2 with Game 5 slated for Monday in Oklahoma City.

Overall, he's produced 11 goals, 22 helpers, 56 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-8 rating over 21 outings this playoffs.
