Zack Moss CIN RBBengals' Zack Moss: Gains security with reworked deal
9h agoThe Bengals and Moss (neck) agreed to terms on a reworked contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Moss signed a two-year, $8 million deal with Cincinnati last offseason, but it didn't include any guaranteed money beyond 2024. While he kicked off last year as the Bengals' starting running back, he eventually ceded reps to second-year pro Chase Brown (ankle) and then was shut down after Week 8 due to a neck injury. With guaranteed money included in the reworked contract, there's a sense that Moss is making good progress in his recovery, and assuming he's good to go by Week 1 of the upcoming campaign, he and Samaje Perine will be the primary reserve RB options behind Brown.

Tucker Fisk LAC TEChargers' Tucker Fisk: Remains with Bolts
10h agoFisk signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Chargers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 26-year-old tight end from Stanford will now remain in Los Angeles after spending his 2024 campaign with the Chargers. Fisk played a career-high 198 offensive snaps over nine regular-season contests last year, catching seven of his eight targets for 39 yards. He's also contributed on special teams, logging 151 special-teams snaps over his two years in the NFL. With Fisk returning to the Chargers, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the tight end corps during the team's offseason activities.

Jared Wiley KC TEChiefs' Jared Wiley: Recovery going well
10h agoHead coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday that Wiley (knee) is "doing well," Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Wiley tore his ACL during practice early in November 2024, limiting him to just seven regular-season appearances. In those contests, the TCU product played 88 offensive snaps and caught his only target for seven yards. While Reid did not provide a precise timetable for Wiley's return, the 24-year-old may be on track to return for the start of Kansas City's 2025 campaign.

Ar'Darius Washington BAL SAFRavens' Ar'Darius Washington: Staying in Baltimore
10h agoWashington signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Ravens on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The undrafted safety from TCU has spent the past four seasons with the Ravens, appearing in 25 regular-season contests during that time. Washington is coming off a career year in 2024, playing in all 17 of Baltimore's regular-season games and tallying 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and eight passes defended, with two interceptions, across 833 total snaps (677 defensive, 156 on special teams). The 25-year-old served as the Ravens' top free safety last season and is expected to compete for role again throughout the summer.

LaBryan Ray CAR DTPanthers' LaBryan Ray: Returns to Carolina
11h agoRay signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 27-year-old defensive end from Alabama will remain in Carolina after spending the first two seasons of his career with the Panthers. With Derrick Brown (knee) sidelined for the majority of 2024, Ray played a career-high 591 defensive snaps, recording 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. Now that he's inked a deal to remain a Panther, Ray is expected to compete for a depth role on the defensive line as the summer unfolds.

Easton Stick ATL QBFalcons' Easton Stick: Inked by Atlanta
11h agoThe Falcons signed Stick on Monday.
Stick is a 2019 fifth-round pick who spent the entirety of his NFL career before now with the Chargers. He suited up for five games (four starts) in 2023, completing 63.8 percent of his passes for 1,129 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, but he didn't log any regular-season action in 2024. Kirk Cousins currently remains on Atlanta's roster as the backup to Michael Penix, but if the veteran quarterback ultimately does waive his no-trade clause for a chance to compete elsewhere, Stick could get an opportunity to step into the No. 2 role.

Yoan Moncada LAA 3BAngels' Yoan Moncada: Resumes swinging bat
24m agoMoncada (thumb) has been able to swing right-handed and field grounders, per MLB.com.
Moncada landed on the 10-day IL due to a right thumb sprain April 10, so he's already eligible to be activated. It's not clear when the switch hitter will be able to resume swinging left-handed, but he at least appears to be making progress in his recovery. Moncada could return to the Angels before the end of April, but an early-May return is probably more likely.
-
Bryan Hoeing SD RPPadres' Bryan Hoeing: In midst of throwing program
30m agoHoeing (shoulder) has been throwing for a few weeks and tossed a full bullpen session that included breaking pitches April 15, per MLB.com.
The April 15 session was Hoeing's first bullpen that included breaking pitches since he landed on the IL in late March. The right-hander didn't get into any spring games as he battled a right shoulder injury throughout camp, so he'll likely need to spend some time on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to join the Padres' bullpen. That said, Hoeing could be activated sometime in May.

Caleb Durbin MIL 3BBrewers' Caleb Durbin: Notches first big-league homer
2h agoDurbin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Giants on Monday.
Durbin accounted for both of Milwaukee's runs in the contest with his two-run shot to left-center in the second inning. The rookie third baseman showed the ability to hit for a bit of power with 10 homers in 82 games in Triple-A last season, though speed is likely to be his calling card in the majors. Durbin has one theft to his name as a big-leaguer so far and has gone 3-for-15 through four contests.
-
Wilmer Flores SF DHGiants' Wilmer Flores: Swats seventh homer
2h agoFlores went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 5-2 win against Milwaukee.
Flores went deep in the sixth inning, belting a solo shot to give the Giants their first lead. The veteran infielder continued his improbable power surge to start the season -- after hitting just four long balls over 242 plate appearances last year, he's belted seven homers (tied for fifth-most in the league) across 88 plate appearances so far in 2025. Flores is also tied for second in MLB with 24 RBI despite batting a modest .220 with no doubles or triples.
-
Quinn Priester MIL SPBrewers' Quinn Priester: Struggles with control Monday
2h agoPriester allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.
Priester struggled to throw the ball in the strike zone throughout his outing, as only 42 of his 81 pitches were strikes. The righty issued a season-high four walks, though he still managed to limit the damage to just two runs. Priester had tossed five frames in each of his previous two starts, but walks have certainly been an issue for him, as he's now handed out nine free passes in just 14 innings on the campaign. Priester has nonetheless registered a 1.93 ERA, and he's lined up to make his next start in St. Louis this weekend.
-
Zach Dezenzo HOU RFAstros' Zach Dezenzo: Takes advantage of rare start
2h agoDezenzo went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs scored and an RBI on Monday against the Blue Jays.
Dezenzo was in the lineup for only the fifth time this season and for the first time since April 12. He smacked an RBI double in the fifth inning to get Houston on the board and is now 4-for-18 on the campaign.

Russell Westbrook DEN PGNuggets' Russell Westbrook: Another mixed bag in Game 2 loss
2h agoWestbrook racked up 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Westbrook continues to serve up a mixed bag when it comes to production, reflective of what he has done for the Nuggets throughout the season. Despite coming off the bench, he has closed in both games of the playoffs thus far, albeit replacing different players. The Nuggets will now need to win at least one game in Los Angeles should they hope to extend their season beyond round one.
-
Nikola Jokic DEN CNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Another triple-double in loss
2h agoJokic closed Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 43 minutes.
Jokic dished up another masterful performance, recording his fourth triple-double in the past six games. Despite his efforts, the Nuggets lost home-court advantage to the Clippers and will now need to turn things around if they hope to push into the second round of the playoffs. Jokic will likely be at the forefront of their efforts, as he's been dishing up video-game numbers on a nightly basis.
-
Michael Porter Jr. DEN SFNuggets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in Game 2 loss
2h agoPorter provided 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Porter bounced back from a terrible Game 1 performance, matching his season high with 15 rebounds. While it wasn't enough to help secure the victory, it was promising for his role in the series to see him out there when it mattered down the stretch. With the series now level at 1-1, Denver will be hoping to turn the tables when the two teams meet again in Los Angeles on Thursday.
-
Ben Simmons LAC PGClippers' Ben Simmons: Barely noticeable Monday
2h agoSimmons notched two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist over eight minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over Denver in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Simmons continues to play a limited role for the Clippers, logging no more than 15 minutes for the seventh straight game. He is playing as the backup center right now, a role that utilizes his defense and little else. While he should remain in the rotation, it is unlikely we see him playing meaningful minutes in what is likely to be a hard-fought series against the Nuggets.
-
Bogdan Bogdanovic LAC SGClippers' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Goes scoreless in Game 2 win
2h agoBogdanovic logged zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Monday's 105-102 victory over the Nuggets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Bogdanovic continued to struggle, failing to score for the second straight game. At this point, he is simply having no impact on the series, with his defensive liabilities limiting his playing time. The two teams will face off again Thursday, when the Clippers will look to grab a 2-1 series advantage.
-
Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Emphatic performance Monday
2h agoLeonard notched 39 points (15-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Nuggets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Leonard was nothing short of spectacular, helping the Clippers to a vital win in Game 2 against the Nuggets. It was a vintage performance by Leonard, who scored efficiently while also adding key defensive contributions. Both teams will now head to Los Angeles for Game 3, where the Clippers will have an opportunity to take control of the series.
-
Adrian Kempe LA RWKings' Adrian Kempe: Racks up three points in Game 1
11m agoKempe had an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Kempe ended the regular season on a four-game point streak, a span in which he racked up nine points (two goals, seven helpers), and he didn't slow things down in this playoff opener. As a member of the first line in both even strength and the power play, Kempe should remain one of the Kings' go-to scoring weapons -- especially if he's able to keep this impressive point streak going. He's tallied 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in nine contests dating back to April 1.
-
Andrei Kuzmenko LA LWKings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Three points in series opener
14m agoKuzmenko scored a power-play goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Kuzmenko also added five shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in this outing while leading the Kings in total points. The left winger finished the regular season on a tear with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) over his final 10 contests, and he seems to be translating that form into the playoffs. The Kings will certainly need him at his best if they want to get past the challenge of the Oilers.
-
Kevin Fiala LA LWKings' Kevin Fiala: Goal and assist in Game 1
16m agoFiala recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Fiala, who also recorded six shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating outside of this two-point effort, was deadly in the power play. He assisted on Andrei Kuzmenko's opener just 2:49 into the first period, and he later gave the Kings a transitory 5-2 lead at the 4:59 mark of the final frame. Fiala is translating the solid play he evidenced in the final stages of the regular season into the playoffs. He racked up 10 points (seven goals, three helpers) over his final eight regular-season appearances. The 28-year-old should continue to find ample opportunities to keep producing due to his role in the lineup.
-
Phillip Danault LA CKings' Phillip Danault: Plays hero role in Game 1
19m agoDanault scored two goals and racked up three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Danault was the unsung hero for the Kings in this series opener, as he came through in the final seconds of the third period to give the Kings the win after the team blew up a four-goal lead. Danault is not expected to be a go-to scoring option for the Kings on a regular basis, however, as evidenced by the fact that he found the back of the net a mere eight times in 80 regular-season appearances. That said, he was at the right place and at the right time to propel the Kings to victory in this high-scoring matchup.
-
Quinton Byfield LA CKings' Quinton Byfield: Two points in series opener
21m agoByfield recorded a goal, an assist, three shots and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Byfield was one of several Los Angeles players who recorded multi-point performances in this series opener, and he made his presence felt in the latter stages of both the first and second periods. He doubled the Kings' lead at the 19:27 mark of the first frame with a wrister past Stuart Skinner, and he later set up Phillip Danault's first goal to give the Kings a four-goal cushion. Byfield recorded 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) across 81 regular-season contests, and he figures to have plenty of opportunities to produce in the playoffs due to his top-six role in the lineup.
-
Corey Perry EDM RWOilers' Corey Perry: Goal, assist in Game 1 defeat
25m agoPerry recorded a goal, an assist and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Perry found the back of the net with his lone shot of the game and also showed physicality, although that can be expected considering all the postseason experience the 39-year-old has. Perry isn't likely to be among the go-to scoring options for Edmonton, but he did post solid numbers in the regular season. His 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists) across 81 appearances were his best output since the 2021-22 season, when he finished with 40 points in 82 games.
