Drue Chrisman CIN PBengals' Drue Chrisman: Signs to 53-man roster
5m agoThe Bengals signed Chrisman off their practice squad Tuesday.
Since Cincinnati had already elevated Chrisman to their active roster the maximum of three times, all of which came the last three weeks, the 25-year-old's only chance to continue suiting up for the Bengals this season was for the team to sign him. In a corresponding move, Cincinnati waived their original starting punter Kevin Huber on Monday. Chrisman is now slated to handle punting duties for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign.

Jaelon Darden TB WRJaelon Darden: Loses roster spot
23m agoDarden was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Darden has played in all 12 games for the Bucs this season, mainly handling return duties. while seeing limited snaps on offense. It's currently unclear if he'll be brought pack to the team's practice squad if he is able to clear waivers. Rachaad White and Scotty Miller will be candidates to replace Darden as return men.
-
Marquez Stevenson BUF WRMarquez Stevenson: Let go Tuesday
28m agoStevenson (foot) was activated from injured reserve then waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Stevenson is expected to sign with Buffalo's practice squad if he is able to clear waivers. The second-year-pro has yet to play this season due to the injury, but he did play five games last season contributing as a return man.
-
Kawaan Baker PHI WRKawaan Baker: Done on Eagles' practice squad
37m agoPhiladelphia cut Baker from its practice squad Tuesday.
Less than a full week after Baker signed onto the Eagles' practice squad, the team has already decided to part ways with him. The 2021 seventh-rounder has great size (6-foot-1, 215 lbs.) and speed (4.43-second 40), but he has yet to see an offensive snap in his young NFL career. Now he'll have to look for another opportunity elsewhere.
-
T.J. Edwards PHI MLBEagles' T.J. Edwards: Leads team with six tackles
37m agoEdwards recorded a team-leading six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's victory over the Titans.
Edwards' tackle total matched his season low but was still enough to lead the team. He has just one takeaway on the season and two sacks, but he continues to be the best on the team at bringing down the ball carrier.
-
Tory Carter TEN FBTory Carter: Let go Tuesday
44m agoThe Titans waived Carter on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Carter appeared in nine games this season for Tennessee, serving as Derrick Henry's lead blocker and as a special-team contributor in that stretch. However, the Titans and the 23-year-old fullback have since parted ways Tuesday, and Carter will now search elsewhere for playing opportunities.
-
Chad Smith COL RPRockies' Chad Smith: Traded to Oakland
3m agoSmith was traded to the Athletics in exchange for Jeff Criswell on Tuesday.
Smith received his first taste of major-league action in 2022, recording a 7.50 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 18 innings out of the bullpen. Smith has always been able to strike out batters at an exceptional rate, however his inability to limit walks has gotten him into trouble quite a few times, especially in the majors. Until the 27-year-old righty can show consistent success on the mound, Smith should be approached with caution.
-
Andrew Heaney LAD SPRangers' Andrew Heaney: Inks deal with Rangers
1h agoHeaney signed a two-year, $25 million deal with the Rangers on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Heaney posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with the Dodgers in 2022 -- career-bests in both categories. Now that he will play his home games in Globe Life Park rather than the pitcher-friendly Dodger Stadium, there's a chance both of those numbers will take a dip in 2023. That being said, if Heaney can maintain anything close to the 13.62 K/9 he recorded last season, there is still plenty of upside to be found with the 31-year-old lefty.
-
Josh Bell SD 1BGuardians' Josh Bell: Lands with Cleveland
2h agoBell signed a two-year, $33 million deal with the Guardians on Tuesday, which includes an opt-out after the first season, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The Guardians won a postseason series last season despite ranking 29th as a team in home runs. Bell theoretically offers the team plenty of additional pop, as he homered 37 times back in 2019 and has topped 25 home runs in two other seasons. He suffered through a bit of a power outage last season, however, clearing the fence just 17 times while splitting time between the Nationals and Padres. He still managed a solid .266/.362/.422 slash line, though, and his 15.8 percent strikeout rate was quite strong. Assuming he rebounds from the slump he fell into after his midseason move to San Diego, he should offer the Guardians a well-rounded presence in the middle of their lineup
-
Jace Peterson MIL 3BAthletics' Jace Peterson: Lands in Oakland
3h agoPeterson signed a two-year contract with the Athletics on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Peterson recorded a 76 wRC+ through the end of his age-29 season, but he's posted a 98 wRC+ since turning 30 prior to the 2020 campaign. That doesn't make him much more than a part-time player, though the Athletics have enough holes on their roster that Peterson could feature regularly. Between his merely mediocre bat, tough home park and weak surrounding lineup, however, even an everyday role would leave Peterson without much fantasy appeal outside of deep leagues.

Vince Velasquez CHW RPPirates' Vince Velasquez: Joins Pirates on one-year deal
3h agoVelasquez signed a one-year, $3.15 million deal with the Pirates on Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
The 30-year-old righty stumbled to a 4.78 ERA as a swingman for the White Sox last season. He'll get to call one of the league's best pitchers' parks home in 2023, but the Pirates probably shouldn't expect a much better ERA, as Velasquez hasn't beaten that mark since all the way back in 2016. Those looking for signs of optimism could point to the fact that he managed a career-best 7.8 percent walk rate last season, but he also tied his career low with a 21.6 percent strikeout rate. His odds of securing a starting role may not become clear until the offseason is over, though the Pittsburgh rotation isn't exactly full of established arms.
-
Jarlin Garcia SF RPPirates' Jarlin Garcia: Becomes a Pirate
4h agoGarcia signed a one-year deal with the Pirates on Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Garcia will make $2.5 million in 2023, with Pittsburgh holding a club option for $3.25 million for 2024, per Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. The lefty was designated for assignment by the Giants in November, but that came after a solid season in which he posted a 3.74 ERA. He's unlikely to add significantly to his career total of two saves this season, but he should still be a serviceable member of the Pittsburgh pen.

Dewayne Dedmon MIA CHeat's Dewayne Dedmon: Ruled out
4m agoDedmon (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Dedmon continues to battle a foot injury and will miss his fifth game of the year. In Dedmon's absence, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith (ankle) figure to garner increased roles behind Bam Adebayo.
-
Gabe Vincent MIA PGHeat's Gabe Vincent: Out Tuesday
6m agoVincent (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Vincent will miss his sixth game over Miami's past 10 contests while managing a knee injury. The Heat are supposed to be relatively healthy Wednesday, so the backup guard's absence shouldn't have a major impact on playing time.
-
James Johnson IND PFPacers' James Johnson: Questionable versus Minnesota
7m agoJohnson (elbow) is questionable to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves.
Johnson was also deemed questionable ahead of Monday's game before being ruled out due to a right elbow sprain. If Johnson isn't able to play Wednesday, his next opportunity will be Friday's game against the Wizards.
-
T.J. McConnell IND PGPacers' T.J. McConnell: Listed questionable for Wednesday
12m agoMcConnell (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota.
McConnell has already missed back-to-back games due to an illness. Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is also questionable, so if both point guards remain sidelined, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Bennedict Mathurin would be candidates for increased roles once again.
-
Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable for Wednesday's game
17m agoHaliburton (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Haliburton missed both games of Indiana's recent back-to-back set due to a groin injury, but he'll have a chance to return Wednesday. The Pacers would have no reason to rush the point guard back if he wasn't 100 percent, so if he's available, Haliburton will be a must-start player in nearly every fantasy format. He's posting 19.1 points, 10.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 33.2 minutes per game.
-
Kenrich Williams OKC SGThunder's Kenrich Williams: Still sidelined Wednesday
17m agoWilliams (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Williams will miss his second straight game due to a right knee sprain. Aaron Wiggins should continue to see extended minutes with the 27-year-old forward out. Williams will have plenty of time to heal his knee before Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
-

30m agoMrazek (groin) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

1h agoFleury will guard the road net Wednesday versus Calgary, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

-
Jonas Brodin MIN DWild's Jonas Brodin: Ruled out for Wednesday
1h agoBrodin (lower body) won't play Wednesday against Calgary, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

-
Isac Lundestrom ANA CDucks' Isac Lundestrom: Shifts to IR
2h agoLundestrom (finger) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
