2m agoThe Jets are releasing Carlson, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In related news, the team is signing Harrison Mevis as Carlson's replacement to compete with Caden Davis for the placekicker job. Carlson could get end up with another team this summer, but it isn't a great sign for his future that the Jets released him before training camp.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. LV WRRaiders' Dont'e Thornton: Working with starters
12h agoThornton was working with the Raiders' starters during Monday's mandatory minicamp practice, Jonathan Williams of Sports Illustrated reports.
Thornton was selected in the fourth round of this year's draft after catching 26 passes for 661 yards and six touchdowns during his final year at Tennessee, and he already appears to be carving out a role for himself in Las Vegas' offense. As the team currently lacks proven talent at the position behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, Thornton could end up serving as one of the team's top wideouts early on in his rookie season.

Ja'seem Reed CLE WRJa'Seem Reed: Waived by Cleveland
13h agoThe Browns waived Reed (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Reed joined the team as an undrafted free agent in May but landed on injured reserve just several days later after picking up an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-1 receiver hauled in 155 passes for 2,103 yards and 16 touchdowns across his four seasons at San Diego and will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

Harrison Mevis CAR KJets' Harrison Mevis: Latches on with Jets
17h agoNew York signed Mevis to a contract Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Mevis spent time with Carolina in 2024 after going undrafted out of Missouri, but he wasn't able to stick on the Panthers' regular-season roster. He resurfaced with the Birmingham Stallions for the UFL's 2025 season, converting 20 of 21 field-goal attempts. Mevis now joins a kicker competition that also includes Caden Davis behind Anders Carlson, with the latter kicker being the favorite to start Week 1.

Ventrell Miller JAC LBJaguars' Ventrell Miller: Over ankle injury
17h agoMiller (ankle) has been an active participant at offseason practices and stood out at OTAs, Brian Sexton of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Miller missed the final two games of 2024 due to an ankle injury, but he already appears back to full health. Across 15 regular-season appearances in 2024, Miller racked up 80 tackles (53 solo), three pass breakups and one fumble, though his role declined notably after Jacksonville's bye in Week 12. He now faces competition from rookie fourth-round pick Jack Kiser for reps alongside standout linebackers Foyesade Oluokun and Devin Lloyd.
-
Jase McClellan ATL RBJase McClellan: Let go by Atlanta
17h agoThe Falcons waived McClellan (knee) on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
McClellan managed just two regular-season appearances a rookie in 2024, in which span he rushed 13 times for 32 yards. While the 2024 sixth-round pick appears recovered from the knee injury that forced him to finish his rookie campaign on IR, he'll now have to search elsewhere for a chance to compete for a depth role. Jashaun Corbin takes McClellan's spot on the Falcons roster.

Brady House WAS 3BNationals' Brady House: Racks up big-league firsts
6m agoHouse went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.
In his second career MLB game, House banged out his first career hit with a single in the sixth then drove in his first run with another knock in the ninth. The 22-year-old has reached base four times in his first nine trips to the plate for the Nationals, and while he has yet to show any power, he did homer 13 times in 65 games for Triple-A Rochester prior to his promotion.
-
Evan Carter TEX CFRangers' Evan Carter: Moves to leadoff
6m agoCarter batted leadoff and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Royals.
Carter was moved up in the order to take the place of the unavailable Josh Smith (hamstring), who may be out for another day or two. Carter's having a moment right now, going 11-for-24 with three home runs, three doubles and seven RBI over the last eight games. The Royals are expected to throw left-hander Kris Bubic on Wednesday, which likely means Carter will not be part of the staring lineup.
-
Nate Lowe WAS 1BNationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Belts homer No. 10
10m agoLowe went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.
The first baseman took Anthony Molina deep in the eighth inning as the Nationals tried to mount a late comeback from a 10-1 deficit. Lowe's up to 10 homers on the season, but Tuesday's effort was only his second multi-hit performance in June, a month in which he's slashing .231/.286/.385 in 15 games.
-
Josh H. Smith TEX SSRangers' Josh Smith: Likely to avoid IL
11m agoThe Rangers do not believe Smith's hamstring injury will require a stint on the injured list, MLB.com reports.
Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Smith felt a "hamstring thing" during Sunday's game against the White Sox. The report indicates Smith should return to the lineup this weekend. For Tuesday's game against the Royals, Alejandro Osuna filled in at designated hitter, while Evan Carter replaced Smith as the leadoff batter.
-
Mike Soroka WAS SPNationals' Michael Soroka: Fans season-high nine in loss
13m agoSoroka (3-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Nationals fell 10-6 to the Rockies, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out nine.
The nine Ks were a season high for Soroka, who generated 30 called or swinging strikes among his 93 pitches (58 total strikes), while the quality start was his third of the year in nine trips to the mound. The right-hander also served up two homers however, on a night when Colorado tied a franchise record with seven long balls, and keeping the ball in the yard remains an issue for Soroka -- he's been taken deep 10 times in only 48 innings, fueling a 5.06 ERA that is out of sync with his 1.13 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB. He seems unlikely to solve the problem in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend against the Dodgers.
-
Hunter Goodman COL CRockies' Hunter Goodman: Huge month continues
17m agoGoodman went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.
His seventh-inning shot off Cole Henry was one of seven homers on the night for the Rockies, tying a franchise record. Goodman's gone yard three times in the last two games and seven times in 15 June contests, a month in which he boasts a .350/.361/.850 slash line with seven other extra-base hits (five doubles and two triples), 13 runs and 15 RBI despite a concerning 1:20 BB:K.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Getting MRI for calf injury
19h agoHaliburton is believed to have suffered a strained right calf during Monday's 120-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Haliburton has been dealing with a right calf issue throughout the NBA Finals, but he's continued to play through the injury. However, after Haliburton was limited to just four points while shooting 0-for-6 from the field in 34 minutes Monday while also making a brief trip to the locker room, the calf problem looks like it could put his availability for Thursday's Game 6 in jeopardy. In the first five games of this series, Haliburton averaged 15.0 points, 7.2 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 35.8 minutes per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from deep.

Aaron Nesmith IND SFPacers' Aaron Nesmith: Bounces back with solid total
1d agoNesmith amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Nesmith's defensive mettle and rebounding ability have served the Pacers well, and his ability to contain Jalen Brunson in the Eastern Conference Finals remains his postseason highlight. While he's failed to break the double-digit scoring barrier over the past two games, he took advantage of a slow start by Obi Toppin and posted 14 points over 25 minutes.
-
T.J. McConnell IND PGPacers' T.J. McConnell: Supplies 18 points from bench
1d agoMcConnell racked up 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
McConnell turned in 13 points in the third quarter and kept the Pacers in the hunt alongside Obi Toppin's seven points in the stanza. McConnell's results faded after a solid Game 2 performance against the Thunder, but he bounced back in Game 5 by making plays all over the floor, finishing with postseason highs in points and minutes.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PG
Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Dealing with lower leg issue
1d agoHaliburton provided four points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. He battled a right lower leg injury during Monday's contest, though he said that he expects to play in Game 6 on Thursday, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
Haliburton shot 0-for-5 from the field in the first half, during which he briefly exited to the locker room for treatment on his lower leg. The star point guard dealt with a similar issue in Game 2 and was seen with a noticeable limp after Game 5. Haliburton and the Pacers will look to stave off elimination in Game 6 at home Thursday.
-
Pascal Siakam IND PFPacers' Pascal Siakam: Posts team-high 28 points in loss
1d agoSiakam closed with 28 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Siakam had a respectable total heading into the fourth quarter, but he woke up with 12 points in the final stanza. He was the engine of an 11-3 rally that put the Pacers within striking distance. His teammates provided little support after the scoring barrage, as the Thunder responded with an 18-4 rally of their own to put the game out of reach. Siakam's 28 points marked his best scoring performance of the series.
-
Cason Wallace OKC PGThunder's Cason Wallace: Emerges with 11 points in win
1d agoWallace supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and four steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 120-109 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Wallace notched his third double-digit scoring performance of the postseason in the decisive win. Wallace carved out a larger role with the Thunder during his second season, but his playoff contributions have been minimal. The Kentucky product managed his best total of the series despite logging a series-low 17 minutes on the court. Wallace also recorded a postseason-high four steals during the victory.

Leon Draisaitl EDM COilers' Leon Draisaitl: Shut down in Game 6 loss
8h agoDraisaitl had four hits, two blocks and a minus-4 rating Tuesday in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6.
He had no shots. Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were absolutely smothered by the tough checking Panthers. The two Oilers finished at the top of the postseason scoring list with 33 points, but that's small consolation when the Cup was handed to the Panthers instead of the Oilers for the second consecutive season.
-
Connor McDavid EDM COilers' Connor McDavid: Smothered by kitties in Game 6 loss
8h agoMcDavid had two shots and finished minus-4 in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6 on Tuesday in the Stanley Cup Finals.
The kitties smothered both McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Tuesday, and the rest of the Oilers had no response. Still, he and Draisaitl led all players in scoring with 33 points this postseason. But that's irrelevant to him when the Cup was being hoisted for the second straight season by his opponent.
-
Vasily Podkolzin EDM RWOilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Gets team's only goal in loss
8h agoPodkolzin scored a goal in a 5-1 loss to Florida on Tuesday in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
It was a matter of too little, too late -- Podkolzin drove the net and finally solved Sergei Bobrovsky at 15:18 of the third. It was Edmonton's first and only goal. He finished with three goals and seven assists in 22 games this postseason.
-
Stuart Skinner EDM GOilers' Stuart Skinner: Struggles continue in Cup loss
9h agoSkinner allowed three goals on 23 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6 on Tuesday.
Two goals went into an empty net when the Oilers were trying to push for their first goal late in the third frame. Skinner has struggled to gain the faith of fans with a few too many beachball goals, and Tuesday was no different, especially with the first snipe. He finished the postseason with seven wins, a 2.99 GAA and .889 save percentage in 15 starts.
-
Aaron Ekblad FLA DPanthers' Aaron Ekblad: Assist in Cup wining game
9h agoEkblad delivered an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
He also delivered two blocks in 21:37 as the Panthers second-busiest defender. Ekblad had four goals, nine assists, 38 PIM, 36 shots and a plus-10 rating in 19 games this postseason. The oft-injured blueliner is an integral part of most fantasy teams, but he has struggled to stay on the ice over the last several seasons. Ekblad is a track-and-drop-down defender at drafts next fall. He delivers when he's on the ice, but there's no guarantee that he'll be out there helping you.
-
Anton Lundell FLA CPanthers' Anton Lundell: Plucks apple in Cup victory
9h agoLundell put up an assist in a 5-1 Stanley Cup-clinching win over Edmonton in Game 6 on Tuesday.
Lundell's point extended his playoff scoring streak to five games and six points (one goal, five assists). He's a strong, reliable pivot who is a strong two-way presence despite below-average feet. Lundell finished the postseason with 18 points, including 12 assists, a team-leading plus-19 rating and 48 shots in 23 games.
