Mekhi Wingo DET DTLions' Mekhi Wingo: Placed on active/PUP list
2h agoWingo (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
The defensive tackle suffered a season-ending knee injury on Thanksgiving Day last year in a win over the Bears. Wingo can technically return in time for the Lions' preseason opener this year against the Chargers on July 31, though that remains a question after he underwent surgery. In 11 games as a rookie, the 2024 sixth rounder played on 162 defensive snaps and 44 special-teams snaps, finishing with nine tackles (one solo).

Malcolm Rodriguez DET LBLions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Heads to active/PUP list
2h agoRodriguez (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
The designation means that Rodriguez can return for the Lions' preseason opener against the Chargers on July 31, but that appears unlikely after he tore his ACL last November in a win over the Bears. In June, Detroit coach Dan Campbell estimated that the linebacker could perhaps return by November of this season, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. Rodriguez has not played a starting role since his rookie campaign in 2022.
-
Miles Frazier DET OGLions' Miles Frazier: Declared PUP-P for now
2h agoFrazier (undisclosed) was put on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
The offensive guard and fifth-round pick in April's draft can still return in time for Detroit's preseason opener against the Chargers on July 31. A three-year starter at LSU, Frazier should begin his professional career in a depth role on a strong Lions offensive front.
-
Khalil Dorsey DET DBLions' Khalil Dorsey: Placed on active/PUP list
2h agoDorsey (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
The depth corner and kickoff return man can still come back in time for the Lions' preseason opener July 31 against the Chargers. Dorsey has played mostly on special teams during parts of three NFL seasons with Baltimore and Detroit, though he has accumulated 244 and 159 kickoff return yards, respectively, over the last two campaigns with Detroit. That could be his role again in 2025.
-
Taylor Decker DET OTLions' Taylor Decker: Moves to active/PUP list
2h agoDecker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
The starting left tackle's injury remains unclear, though it does not appear to be serious given his designation, which allows him to return in time for Detroit's preseason opener July 31 against the Chargers. Decker has started all 131 regular-season and postseason games he's played in since being drafted in the first round by the Lions in 2016.
-
Stantley Thomas-Oliver DET CBLions' Stantley Thomas-Oliver: Placed on active/NFI list
2h agoThomas-Oliver (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Lions on Thursday.
Despite the designation, Thomas-Oliver remains eligible to practice and play in the Lions' first preseason game. The cornerback appeared in one regular-season game and in the Lions' only playoff game in 2024, playing on 21 special-teams snaps and one defensive snap. He enters 2025 fighting for a spot.
-
Shelby Miller ARI RPDiamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Resumes throwing
1h agoMiller (forearm) began a throwing program Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Miller sought a second opinion on his flexor tendon and UCL just before the All-Star break and apparently received good news. It's unclear how quickly he'll return, but this is still good progress in his recovery.
-
Paxton Schultz TOR RPBlue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Beginning rehab assignment
1h agoSchultz (finger) began a rehab assignment with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays on Thursday.
Schultz hit the injured list with right middle finger inflammation in late June and resumed throwing roughly a week later. He should be activated relatively soon, as he typically works one or two frames per appearance.
-
Thomas Saggese STL 2BCardinals' Thomas Saggese: Sent to minors
3h agoSaggese was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Saggese filled primarily a bench role since he was recalled June 20, and he hit just .133 with three RBI and two runs scored across 45 at-bats. No official corresponding move has been made, but it could signify the return of Jordan Walker (appendix).
-
Michael Massey KC 2BRoyals' Michael Massey: Restarting assignment Friday
4h agoMassey (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Friday.
Massey landed on the injured list June 10 due to a left ankle sprain, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment July 3 after suffering a hairline fracture in his right wrist as a result of a hit-by-pitch. The Royals haven't specified how long they plan to keep the 27-year-old in the minors for his second rehab stint, but a return to Kansas City before the end of the month remains possible.

Jon Gray TEX SPRangers' Jon Gray: One more rehab game on tap
4h agoManager Bruce Bochy said Thursday that Gray (forearm) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Saturday is expected to be Gray's final outing in the minors before his return from the injured list next week. The 33-year-old has made two appearances since starting up his rehab assignment, giving up two earned runs while striking out three batters over five frames. Because he has yet to last longer than three innings in a start, he'll likely operate under a pitch count during his first few starts back with the Rangers. Otherwise, the team could use him as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.
-
Michael Helman TEX CFRangers' Michael Helman: Sent back to Triple-A
4h agoThe Rangers optioned Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
Helman was sent down Thursday as Justin Foscue gets recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Helman made his season debut with the Rangers on June 27 and appeared in four games after that. He logged six plate appearances in which he got no hits, but was able to draw two walks.
-
Darius Bazley UTA PFLakers' Darius Bazley: Exits with injury
18m agoBazley left Thursday's Summer League game against the Celtics with an apparent right leg injury, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Bazley went down hard on a drive to the bucket and appeared to be in considerable pain while being taken off the floor in a wheelchair. The team should provide more information on the extent of the injury after the exhibition.
-
Jonathan Mogbo TOR PFRaptors' Jonathan Mogbo: Won't play vs. Golden State
1h agoMogbo (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Warriors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Mogbo is dealing with a sprained right hand, which will keep him sidelined. It's uncertain whether this injury will keep him out of the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League.
-
Amari Williams BOS CCeltics' Amari Williams: Returning to play
1h agoWilliams (rest) is available for Thursday's Summer League game against the Lakers, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Williams was shut down for Monday's exhibition for rest purposes, but he has received the green light to suit up Thursday night. The Kentucky product is coming off a sluggish showing in his last appearance Sunday against the Knicks, recording two points, three rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes.

Damion Baugh CHA SGHornets' Damion Baugh: Scores 18 in SL win
1h agoBaugh supplied 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block over 28 minutes in Thursday's 106-81 Summer League win over the Spurs.
Baugh provided a spark off the bench Thursday, drilling four three-pointers and contributing across the stat sheet. He appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Hornets last season, averaging 7.3 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes per game.
-
Kon Knueppel CHA SFHornets' Kon Knueppel: Another big night in Summer League
1h agoKnueppel posted 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 106-81 Summer League win over the Spurs.
Knueppel tied for the team lead in points and assists on the way to yet another impressive showing. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Knueppel has shown in back-to-back Summer League appearances that he's ready for the next level. He should get another chance over the weekend to continue building his case for a rotation spot.
-
Carter Bryant SA SFSpurs' Carter Bryant: Four threes in SL loss
1h agoBryant closed with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 23 minutes in Thursday's 106-81 Summer League loss to the Hornets.
Bryant was a rare bright spot in Thursday's blowout loss, sinking four three-pointers. The No. 14 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has had an up-and-down Summer League following his one-and-done freshman season at Arizona, where he averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 37 games.
-
Dakota Joshua VAN CMaple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Acquired for pick
6h agoJoshua was brought in by the Leafs on Thursday from the Canucks in exchange for a 2028 fourth-round pick.
Joshua is coming off a disappointing 2024-25 campaign with Vancouver in which he failed to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since 2021-22 -- a problem that was in no small part caused by his 57 regular-season appearances. If he can stay healthy this season, Joshua should be capable of locking down a middle-six role with the Leafs, though he's far from a lock to avoid stints on the fourth line or in the press box.
-
Lukas Dostal ANA GDucks' Lukas Dostal: Secures long-term extension
8h agoDostal signed a five-year, $32.5 million contract extension with Anaheim on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Dostal took over as the No. 1 option in Anaheim last season, a role that was further cemented when the Ducks shipped John Gibson off to Detroit. For his part, the 25-year-old Dostal posted a 23-23-7 record in 54 games to go with a 3.10 GAA, .903 save percentage and one shutout. While Petr Mrazek figures to serve as the backup, it will be Dostal's crease heading into 2025-26.
-
Louis Crevier CHI DBlackhawks' Louis Crevier: Re-ups with club
8h agoCrevier signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with Chicago on Thursday.
Crevier split his time between the NHL and AHL last year, making 32 appearances for the Hawks while also logging 15 games with the IceHogs. Given the one-way nature of his new deal, Crevier will likely spend less time in the minors during the 2025-26 campaign but figures to remain a fringe lineup player and will likely serve as a healthy scratch more often than not.
-
Rory Kerins CGY CFlames' Rory Kerins: Signs one-year contract
9h agoKerins penned a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Thursday.
Kerins led the AHL Wranglers in scoring last year during the regular season, potting 33 goals and adding 28 assists across 63 games. He made his NHL debut with the Flames last season, generating four assists in five games. Kerins is a bubble player at this time but a strong training camp could garner him a job as a third-line winger.
-
Yan Kuznetsov CGY D
Flames' Yan Kuznetsov: Re-signs with Calgary
9h agoKuznetsov signed a two-year contract with the Flames on Thursday.
Kuznetsov was a restricted free agent, so it isn't particularly surprising to see him return to the Flames. The first year of his new contract will be a two-way deal, while the second year will become a one-way agreement. Kuznetsov made 72 regular-season appearances with AHL Calgary last year and recorded six goals, 15 assists and 38 PIM.
-
Tobias Bjornfot FLA DPanthers' Tobias Bjornfot: Lands two-way contract
11h agoBjornfot signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Thursday.
After making a career-high 70 NHL appearances with the Kings during the 2021-22 campaign, Bjornfot has spent most of the past three seasons in the minors. He made 14 regular-season appearances in the NHL with Florida last year and was held without a point while recording 13 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. The 24-year-old could join the Panthers for training camp this fall, but it seems as though he'll play mostly in the minors once again during the 2025-26 season.
