Gus Hartwig NYJ C
Gus Hartwig: Gets waived from PUP list
17h agoThe Jets waived Hartwig (undisclosed) from their reserve/PUP list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Hartwig went to the Jets' PUP list after an unspecified issue caused him to fail a physical back in May, and now the team has decided to cut ties. Unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period, he's on track to become a free agent.

Sean Murphy-Bunting ARI CB
Cardinals' Sean Murphy-Bunting: Practicing during OTAs
17h agoMurphy-Bunting (knee) has been participating during Cardinals OTAs and has been working as a nickel corner, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Murphy-Bunting tore his ACL and also suffered some MCL damage last May and missed all of the 2025 season. Just over a year later, the veteran defender is back on the field during OTAs, and he's been taking on a different role in the nickel-corner spot. Murphy-Bunting has played mostly outside corner during his tenure in Arizona, but the team has a need in the slot with Garrett Williams expected to be out at the beginning of the campaign while recovering from a torn Achilles. Williams will presumably retake the role upon his return, but in the meantime, Murphy-Bunting should see plenty or work in the slot. He was ample experience there, having played the position frequently earlier in his career while with the Buccaneers.

Marlin Klein HOU TE
Texans' Marlin Klein: Dealing with hamstring issue
17h agoKlein was sidelined at the Texans' OTAs during the week after tweaking his hamstring, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Per Wilson, the injury isn't expected to keep Klein off the practice field for an extended period. The rookie second-round pick, who's competing with Foster Moreau for the No. 2 job behind Dalton Schultz, will have a chance to return to practice at some point during the Texans' mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday.

Brian Thomas Jr. JAC WR
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Improving chemistry with QB1
23h agoThomas has demonstrated increased chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence during spring practices, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said during OTAs the coaching staff is "trying to get a true connection" established between Thomas and Lawrence the tandem "didn't quite have last spring or training camp." Coen said he's been "very pleased" with how Thomas approached the offseason, while Lawrence said he and the wideout have "put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, [...] and it's starting to pay off." As a rookie, the 2024 first-rounder burst onto the scene with a 87-1,282-10 line, though much of that came with then-backup Mac Jones under center. Thomas then took a notable step back in 2025, tallying 48-707-2 across 14 regular-season appearances. If Thomas is indeed able to improve his rapport with Lawrence and clean up the issues with avoided contact and dropped passes that plagued him last year, he could still boast the highest upside of any of Jacksonville's pass catchers, though Coen's willingness to spread the ball around implies hefty target competition.

Thomas Incoom CAR LB
Panthers' Thomas Incoom: Undergoes shoulder surgery
23h agoIncoom underwent surgery on his shoulder Thursday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
The nature of Incoom's operation isn't clear, so it remains to be seen what his recovery timeline looks like ahead of training camp next month. The 27-year-old linebacker appeared in all 17 regular-season contests last season, recording 17 tackles (nine solo) while seeing the vast majority of his playing time on special teams.

Nathan Thomas DAL OT
Cowboys' Nathan Thomas: Competing for starting LT job
23h agoCoach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Thomas and Tyler Guyton are competing for the starting job at left tackle this offseason, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Thomas was a seventh-round pick out of Louisiana in 2024. After missing his entire rookie season with a knee injury, Thomas appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season and made four starts while seeing most of his action at left tackle. Guyton missed the final six weeks of the 2025 season with a knee injury, allowing Thomas an extended run at the position.

Kyle Higashioka TEX C
Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Hits in four straight
4m agoHigashioka went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.
Higashioka ignited Texas' three-run sixth inning with a leadoff homer, his fourth of the season. The blast also extended a hit streak to four games, during which he's 7-for-13 with three extra-base hits, two RBI and five runs scored. He's appeared in 32 games and is essentially sharing catching duties with Danny Jansen (41 games), but Higashioka has been the better hitter. He's has a .712 OPS compared to Jansen's .586 OPS.

Dansby Swanson CHC SS
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Idle Saturday
10m agoSwanson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Swanson will get a day off Saturday after going 0-for-4 during Friday's loss. Nico Hoerner will move over to shortstop to cover for him, giving Pedro Ramirez a start at second base.

Wyatt Langford TEX LF
Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Bats leadoff in return
11m agoLangford batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Guardians.
Langford was activated from the injured list and slotted in at leadoff for the first time this season. He doubled and scored as part of the Rangers' three-run sixth inning, which also featured a home run from the returning Corey Seager, who batted behind Langford in the two-hole. Langford had been out since April 21 with a flexor strain in his right forearm. There was a setback early in his rehab that contributed his stay on the IL.

Bryce Eldridge SF DH
Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Multi-hit effort in victory
17m agoEldridge went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Friday's 18-3 win over Chicago.
Eldridge singled in the fourth inning and came around to score before adding another base hit in the sixth and scoring again. The 21-year-old has delivered multi-hit performances in back-to-back games and has recorded at least one hit in eight consecutive contests, batting .500 with 11 runs scored, five doubles, four RBI and a home run across 33 plate appearances during that span. He's slashing .293/.372/.467 with 13 runs scored, six RBI and two long balls in 86 plate appearances this season.

Jonah Cox SF CF
Giants' Jonah Cox: Homers in blowout win
21m agoCox went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 18-3 win over the Cubs.
Cox entered in the sixth inning and hit a leadoff single to right field before coming around to score, and he added another single later in the frame. The 24-year-old outfielder also opened the ninth inning with a solo home run to center field off catcher Carson Kelly. Cox has appeared in six straight outings since having his contract selected from Double-A Richmond on Sunday, batting 4-for-9 with three runs scored, a home run and a double in nine plate appearances.

Steven Kwan CLE CF
Guardians' Steven Kwan: Records steal in loss
22m agoKwan went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss to Texas.
Kwan's season-opening slump has impacted his role on the team in various ways. He's no longer leading off and Friday's steal was just his third a little more than a third of the way through the season. He's had double-digit steals in all four previous MLB seasons but is now on pace for fewer than 10. While the slump hasn't cost the left-handed batter starts against southpaws yet, Kwan was pinch hit for in the ninth inning against the left-handed Jacob Latz. He's batting just .176 against southpaws in 2026.

Devin Vassell SA SG
Spurs' Devin Vassell: Consistent production continues
8h agoVassell contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to New York in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Vassell continues to play well on both ends of the floor, providing solid yet modest production. In 14 playoff appearances over the past month, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. Having lost both games at home, San Antonio will now head to New York for Games 3 and 4, looking to extend the series beyond four games.

Stephon Castle SA PG
Spurs' Stephon Castle: Questionable decision-making
8h agoCastle closed with 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Castle was benched down the stretch, although he did return to the court for the final few plays. Despite solid production, Castle's performance was littered with lapses in judgment, primarily on the offensive end. On more than one occasion, he appeared to attack the basket without knowing what he was going to do. Both he and Victor Wembanyama were guilty of making errors, highlighting the fact that San Antonio is significantly outmatched when it comes to experience. Now trailing the series 2-0, Castle and his teammates will be looking to turn things around when the two teams meet again in New York on Monday.

Landry Shamet NY SG
Knicks' Landry Shamet: Strong perimeter production
8h agoShamet recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Shamet landed at least three triples for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to provide the Knicks with a viable scoring option off the bench. He has now also played at least 28 minutes in three of the past four games, scoring at least 13 points in all four appearances. Now leading the series 2-0, New York will have the opportunity to wrap up the NBA Finals with back-to-back wins on its home court.
-
Mikal Bridges NY SG
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Efficient shooting continues
8h agoBridges posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 105-104 victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Bridges continues to score the ball efficiently, having now shot at least 60 percent from the field in five of his past seven appearances. After what could be considered a disappointing end to the regular season, Bridges has rediscovered his form on both ends of the floor> in nine games over the past month, he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers, shooting 59.1 percent from the floor and 94.1 percent from the line.

Victor Wembanyama SA C
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nets 29 points with full line
12h agoWembanyama finished with 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 105-104 Game 2 loss to the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
It was a tale of two halves for Wembanyama, who was held to just seven points in the first half before erupting for 22 after the break. However, he also committed a team-high four turnovers, and the last one proved costly, as an errant pass ricocheted off Stephon Castle's back with 9.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Still, the Spurs had a chance to pull out the win, but Wembanyama's 20-foot jumper clanked off the rim at the buzzer. The Spurs are now facing a 0-2 deficit with the series heading to New York for Game 3 on Monday.

Karl-Anthony Towns NY C
Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in Game 2 win
12h agoTowns produced 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Towns did an excellent job picking his spots offensively, scoring efficiently while consistently delivering clutch baskets for the Knicks. He finished as a plus-11 in the one-point victory, helping New York take a commanding 2-0 series lead as the matchup shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Monday.
-
Tristen Nielsen COL C
Avalanche's Tristen Nielsen: Nets two goals Friday
12h agoNielsen scored twice in AHL Colorado's 7-3 win over Chicago in Game 5 on Friday.
Nielsen helped the Eagles get one win away from the Calder Cup Finals with his early pair of goals. He has totaled 10 goals and 15 points over 15 appearances in the Eagles' postseason run after a career-best 49-point effort in 66 regular-season outings.

Georgi Romanov STL G
Blues' Georgi Romanov: Secures multi-year, two-way deal
19h agoRomanov signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Friday.
After signing with the Blues in October of 2025, Romanov has now secured a multi-year extension after playing exclusively with AHL Springfield on a one-year, two-way contract. Across 28 regular-season appearances, he posted a 9-12-3 record, an .896 save percentage and a 3.29 GAA. The 26-year-old netminder offered a mixed bag of results over 10 regular-season appearances with the Sharks across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns. He could find his way to the NHL with the Blues if the team opts to trade away Jordan Binnington, who is coming off a down year and was in the heart of trade rumors during the 2026 trade deadline.

Marcus Johansson MIN LW
Marcus Johansson: Headed back to Sweden
22h agoJohansson agreed to terms on a contract with Swedish club Farjestad BK on Friday.
Johansson played for Farjestad back in 2009-10 before he made the jump to North America. Selected by the Capitals with the 24th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, the veteran winger spent 16 seasons in the NHL, racking up 200 goals and 366 assists in 1,058 regular-season tilts for six different clubs. Coming off a 15-goal, 34-assist campaign, Johansson almost certainly would have had NHL offers when free agency opened July 1.

Islanders' Marshall Warren: Inks one-year deal
1d agoWarren signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Friday.
Warren saw action in eight regular-season games for the Isles this year, recording three assists, seven shots and seven hits while averaging 11:29 of ice time.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Traveling home with team
1d agoMcNabb (face) will travel back home with the team ahead of Game 3 against the Hurricanes on Saturday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
McNabb has appeared in 17 postseason games for Vegas in 2026, registering one goal, six assists and 18 shots while averaging 19:59 of ice time. If the blueliner misses out on Game 3, then Kaedan Korczak would likely step back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last two games.

He's been held to just two assists over 12 contests since the start of the second round, though Hanifin continues to offer quality play in a shutdown role. He has a total of seven assists, 23 shots on net, 17 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 18 playoff outings.
