Alijah Vera-Tucker NYJ GPatriots' Alijah Vera-Tucker: Signs three-year deal with Pats
6h agoVera-Tucker (triceps) agreed to terms with the Patriots on a three-year, $42 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Vera-Tucker will turn 27 years old this summer and is coming off a lost 2025 season after he suffered a season-ending torn triceps in practice just ahead of Week 1 last September. When healthy, Vera-Tucker is a difference-making offensive lineman, but he's missed 41 of a possible 68 regular-season games to various serious injuries over the last four seasons.

Samuel Williams DAL DECowboys' Sam Williams: Re-signs on one-year deal
6h agoThe Cowboys re-signed Williams to a one-year, $3 million contract Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
After missing the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL, Williams appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season, making five starts. He logged a career-best 37 tackles (23 solo) but finished with just 1.0 sacks, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on 43 percent of the defensive snaps. Williams figures to fill a rotational role along the defensive line for Dallas next season.

Esezi Otomewo PIT DESteelers' Esezi Otomewo: Back with Pittsburgh
6h agoThe Steelers re-signed Otomewo to a one-year contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Otomewo appeared in 12 regular-season games with Pittsburgh last season, logging nine tackles (five solo) across 173 defensive snaps and another 24 on special teams. He'll compete for a roster spot this offseason.

Alohi Gilman BAL SAFChiefs' Alohi Gilman: Agrees to deal with Kansas City
6h agoThe Chiefs and Gilman agreed to terms on a three-year, $24.75 million contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The deal contains $15 million guaranteed. A sixth-round pick of the Chargers in 2020, Gilman began last season with Los Angeles but was traded to the Ravens in October. He started all 12 regular-season games with Baltimore following the trade and finished the 2025 campaign with 90 tackles (50 solo), nine pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. Gilman replaces Bryan Cook at safety with Kansas City.

Tyquan Thornton KC WRChiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Returning to KC
7h agoThornton (concussion) is set to re-sign with the Chiefs, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. It's a two-year, $11 million deal, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
After spending his first three seasons with New England, Thornton joined Kansas City ahead of the 2025 campaign and ended up posting career-best marks of 438 yards and three touchdowns on 19 receptions. He also contributed 475 kick-return yards on 18 opportunities. The speedy wideout gives KC a legitimate downfield threat, as he averaged 23.1 yards per catch last year. Thornton ended the season on IR due to a concussion, but there's no indication that the head injury will carry into offseason activities. He'll likely retain a depth wideout role in 2026, though he could move up in the pecking order depending on how else the Chiefs address their wideout corps during the offseason, as both Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are unrestricted free agents.

Kristian Welch GB LBPackers' Kristian Welch: Sticking around Green Bay
7h agoWelch (ankle) and the Packers agreed on a one-year contract Monday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Welch will remain in Green Bay for a second straight year after compiling three total tackles over eight regular-season contests with the team in 2025. The linebacker ended the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury, but he now appears to be back to full health. Welch will likely operate as an extreme depth option again on defense in 2026.

Ezequiel Tovar COL SSRockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Simplifying swing
6h agoTovar worked on shedding weight and simplifying his swing this offseason, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Tovar was limited to 95 games in 2025, in part due to an oblique strain. He attributed that injury to overly complicated swing mechanics and playing at slightly above his preferred weight. Tovar shed seven pounds during the offseason and simplified his swing in an effort to bounce back in 2026. He's gone 3-for-14 this spring, but has struck out only twice, and he is also representing Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic.

Ty France SD 1BPadres' Ty France: Realistic chance to crack roster
6h agoFrance appears to have a path to make the Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Sung-Mun Song's oblique injury has seemingly opened up an opportunity for France, who has been seeing the ball well so far this spring. The 31-year-old is 10-for-27 (.370) at the dish with five RBI and two runs scored following Monday's exhibition against the Rangers. France is in consideration for a utility role of sorts, as he logged time at second base earlier in his career and could provide a solid bat off the bench, which as Cassavell notes, could be of interest to skipper Craig Stammen. However, this will all depend on whether Song is forced to begin the 2026 regular season on the injured list.

Hye Seong Kim LAD 2BDodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Hurts hand during WBC
6h agoKim suffered a left hand injury Sunday while with Team Korea at the World Baseball Classic and didn't play in Monday's 7-2 win over Team Australia, Matthew Moreno of SI.com reports.
Kim's injury happened while he was stealing a base against Team Chinese Taipei on Sunday. He sported a thin wrap around his left hand Monday while sitting out Korea's victory against Australia, per Dodgers Nation, but to this point there's been no word on the exact nature or severity of the injury. This may just end up being a minor issue, and Kim is still at least several days away from returning to the Dodgers as Korea has already advanced to the quarterfinals of the WBC, but if the injury lingers, it could impact Kim's bid to open the regular season as Los Angeles' starter at second base while Tommy Edman continues his recovery from ankle surgery.

Sung-Mun Song SD 2BPadres' Sung-Mun Song: Could open season on IL
6h agoSong (oblique) has yet to resume swinging a bat and hasn't been cleared to participate in fielding drills, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The Padres have made it clear that they intend to slow play Song's recovery in an effort to ensure the issue doesn't pop up again later this season. "We've got to play that injury really cautious," stated manager Craig Stammen. "Because he had it, came back, got it again. It's just one of those things -- we can't have that happen the whole year. We've got to nip it in the bud right now." Cassavell points out that Opening Day is only two weeks away, and the fact that Song has only received treatment since aggravating the oblique injury is cause for concern.

Bryan Hoeing SD RPPadres' Bryan Hoeing: Considering surgery
6h agoHoeing (elbow) expects to decide whether he'll undergo surgery "relatively quickly", Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Hoeing was shut down from throwing at the beginning of March after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow during a live bullpen session, and it's now being reported that surgery is on the table. The Padres expect the right-hander to make a decision in the near future, and he's also working to rehab the injury in the event he chooses to go a non-surgical route.
-
Yuki Matsui SD RPPadres' Yuki Matsui: Resumes throwing off mound
7h agoMatsui (groin) was recently cleared to resume throwing off a mound, and he participated in defensive drills Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Matsui's availability for Opening Day remains a big question mark, but the fact that he's slowly beginning to ramp back up is a positive sign. He'll presumably need to complete at leasts a few additional side sessions before San Diego considers deploying him in a Cactus League game.

Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Huge all-around night in loss
5h agoTowns finished with 35 points (13-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 126-118 loss to the Clippers.
Towns appeared to be battling through some sort of lower body injury heading into halftime, but he started the second half and made a large impact across the board. He scored 30-plus points for the first time since Dec. 27 and now has six double-doubles in six March appearances. Towns, Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby continue to lead the charge for New York offensively, but the Knicks received only 14 points from their bench Monday, which proved to be too much to overcome.
-
De'Anthony Melton GS SGWarriors' De'Anthony Melton: Expects to play Tuesday
6h agoMelton will play in Tuesday's game against Chicago, marking the first time this season he'll appear in both legs of a back-to-back, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Melton finished with 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 119-116 loss to Utah.
Melton was held to 20 minutes in an effort to ensure he could go Tuesday night, and he still managed to lead Golden State in scoring. He's now put up 20-plus points in back-to-back matchups. The Warriors have yet to comment on whether the 27-year-old will face a minutes limit Tuesday, though it wouldn't be a shock to see his playing time monitored closely.
-
Derrick Jones Jr. LAC SFClippers' Derrick Jones: Cleared to return
6h agoJones (head) has been cleared to return to Monday's game against New York, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Jones made a quick stop in the locker room after taking a blow to the head during the third quarter, but he was quickly given the green light to continue. He checked back into the game with 3:35 remaining in the third period.

Nolan Traore BKN PGNets' Nolan Traore: Productive in win Monday
6h agoTraore produced 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 126-115 win over the Grizzlies.
Traore got back on track, scoring double digits for the first time in his past three games. With Egor Demin (foot) ruled out for the remainder of the season, Traore should be able to maintain a starting spot moving forward. With that said, his production over the past month has been far from exemplary. In 14 games during that span, he has averaged 12.3 points, 5.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per contest, leaving him outside the top 250 in standard fantasy formats.
-
Ochai Agbaji BKN SFNets' Ochai Agbaji: Season-high 18 points in win
6h agoAgbaji closed with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 126-115 win over Memphis.
Agbaji had his best game since arriving in Brooklyn, taking advantage of what was a favorable matchup. The 18 points represented a season-high for Agbaji, who to this point, has not even been an every-night part of the rotation for the Nets. We would need to see more of this before declaring him a viable standard league asset.
-
Danny Wolf BKN PFNets' Danny Wolf: Flirts with double-double
6h agoWolf contributed 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 126-115 victory over the Grizzlies.
Wolf shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Michael Porter, who was given the night off for rest purposes. Wolf fell one rebound short of what would have been just the second double-double of his career, while also managing to add a pair of defensive stats. While this was an encouraging performance, it's hard to view him as anything more than a stream or stash guy, given the fact that his playing time is wildly unpredictable.
-
Oliver Moore CHI CBlackhawks' Oliver Moore: Set for extended absence
5h agoHead coach Jeff Blashill said Monday that Moore will miss a significant amount of time due to a lower-body injury, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Moore sustained the injury Sunday in Dallas. The full extent of Moore's injury has not been revealed, but there is a possibility the 21-year-old gets shut down for the rest of the season at some point in the near future, depending on how his recovery goes. Moore will probably land on injured reserve as well, with a forward being recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move -- the Blackhawks currently have only 12 healthy forwards on their roster.

Evander Kane VAN LWCanucks' Evander Kane: Dealing with UBI
6h agoHead coach Adam Foote said after Monday's 2-0 loss to Ottawa that Kane is contending with an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Kane sat out Monday's loss due to his upper-body injury. It currently remains to be seen if the veteran winger will be an option for Thursday's home game versus Nashville. The 34-year-old has accounted for 11 goals, 27 points, 78 PIM, 146 shots, 102 hits and a minus-18 rating over 61 appearances in 2025-26.

Jack St. Ivany PIT DPenguins' Jack St. Ivany: Taken off IR
9h agoSt. Ivany (hand) was removed from injured reserve Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Per the NHL media site, St. Ivany is no longer listed on the Penguins' IR list. The move comes just hours after he was designated for a conditioning loan with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. While it's unclear when his assignment in the minors is expected to conclude, he likely won't return to the Penguins' lineup until he's healthy and has a few more games at the AHL level under his belt.

Canucks' Evander Kane: Sidelined for Monday's tilt
9h agoKane (upper body) will miss Monday's game against the Senators, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
After missing Monday's morning skate, Kane didn't join the Canucks on the ice for warmups and will miss his second game across Vancouver's last four matchups. In his absence, Max Sasson will take his place on the third line. If he can practice over the coming days, Kane's next chance to return to action is Thursday against the Predators.
-
Brock Boeser VAN RWCanucks' Brock Boeser: Playing against Ottawa
9h agoBoeser (undisclosed) will suit up for Monday's home matchup versus the Senators, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Boeser left Monday's morning skate early, which put some doubt into his availability for this game against Ottawa. The right-shot winger will avoid missing his eighth game of the season, and he will skate on the second line with Liam Ohgren and Marco Rossi.

Maksymilian Szuber UTA DMammoth's Maksymilian Szuber: Called up to majors
10h agoSzuber was recalled from AHL Tucson on Monday.
With Szuber set to join the Mammoth, his call-up indicates that Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) isn't ready to return to the lineup. Szuber has been a steady contributor in the AHL this season with 10 goals, 15 assists and 78 shots on net across 50 games this season. The move gives him his first chance to suit up in Utah after playing one NHL game when the franchise was in Arizona during the 2023-24 season.
