The five-time All-Pro now has 11.0 sacks on the year, his seventh straight campaign with double-digit sacks. Garrett has 35 total tackles (29 solo), three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 2024 as well.

Devin Bush CLE LBBrowns' Devin Bush: Active in loss
8m agoBush recorded six tackles (one solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 27-14 defeat to the Steelers.
The linebacker now has 63 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Bush has only played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps twice this season, but he has clearly been active when he's been on the field.

Mohamoud Diabate CLE LBBrowns' Mohamoud Diabate: Records seven stops in loss
14m agoDiabate finished with seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.
The middle linebacker has now played on at least 68 percent of the defensive snaps in seven of Cleveland's last eight games. The second-year pro has 50 tackles (24 solo) after making just eight as a rookie last year.
-
D.J. Reed NYJ CBJets' D.J. Reed: Makes six tackles in loss
21m agoReed finished with six tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Dolphins.
The starting cornerback also played on all 66 defensive snaps. Reed has played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of the 11 games he's suited up for this season. On the year, he has 50 tackles (40 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 10 pass breakups.
-
Chuck Clark NYJ FSJets' Chuck Clark: Records seven tackles in loss
27m agoClark finished with seven tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Dolphins.
Clark now has 47 tackles (26 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery this season. Though he missed four games with an ankle injury, the safety has been steady when healthy, playing on 70-100 percent of the defensive snaps in all eight games that he's started and finished.
-
Jalen Thompson ARI DBCardinals' Jalen Thompson: Tallies six stops versus Seattle
32m agoThompson recorded six tackles (two solo) in Arizona's loss versus the Seahawks on Sunday.
Thompson finished third on the team in tackles behind Budda Baker's 18 and Kyzir White's 13. Thompson has now compiled 66 tackles (41 solo) and two pass deflections in 11 games played this season and will have a chance to add to his total Week 15 versus New England.

Luis Ortiz PIT SPGuardians' Luis Ortiz: Dealt to Guardians
1m agoThe Pirates traded Ortiz to the Guardians on Tuesday alongside Josh Hartle and Michael Kennedy in exchange for Spencer Horwitz, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Ortiz took a massive leap in 2024, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 107:42 K:BB in 135.2 innings. The Pirates used him as both a starter and reliever last year, though Shane Bieber's (elbow) injury and a general lack of starter depth could prompt Cleveland to keep Ortiz in its rotation full-time.

Spencer Horwitz TOR 1BPirates' Spencer Horwitz: Rerouted to Pittsburgh
35m agoThe Guardians traded Horwitz to the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for Josh Hartle, Luis Ortiz and Michael Kennedy, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Just hours after being traded to Cleveland in the deal that sent Andres Gimenez to Toronto, Horwitz will now land in Pittsburgh instead while the Guardians add to their organizational depth. The 27-year-old has covered first and second base during his time in the big leagues and should have no problem starting regularly in a Pirates infield that lacks impact bats. Moving to Pittsburgh will also reunite him with hitting coach Matt Hague, under whom Horwitz posted a .790 OPS in 2024.
-
Nathan Eovaldi TEX SPRangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Returning to Texas
3h agoEovaldi agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Eovaldi turned down his $20 million player option earlier in the offseason, but he'll officially remain in Arlington on a multi-year deal that will pay him $5 million more in 2025 than if he had exercised his option. The 34-year-old righty has been fairly consistent during his time with the Rangers, posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over the last two seasons, and he'll presumably follow Jacob deGrom as the second man in Texas' rotation.
-
Akil Baddoo DET LFTigers' Akil Baddoo: Pushed off 40-man
4h agoThe Tigers designated Baddoo for assignment Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
With the signing of Alex Cobb becoming official Tuesday, the Tigers needed to create room on their 40-man roster, so Baddoo will end up as the roster casualty. Baddoo slashed just .137/.220/.301 in 31 big-league games last season, though his .758 OPS and 29 stolen bases in Triple-A could be enough to attract attention from another organization.

Spencer Horwitz TOR 1B
Guardians' Spencer Horwitz: Traded to Guardians
5h agoThe Blue Jays traded Horwitz and Nick Mitchell to the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for Andres Gimenez and Nick Sandlin, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
In 97 games with the Blue Jays last year, Horwitz slashed .265/.357/.433 while mashing 12 homers and driving in 40 RBI. With second base now open in Cleveland following Gimenez's move to Toronto, Horwitz's clearest path to playing time is likely at the keystone, though he could also be used at first base and DH over the course of the season.
-
Nick Sandlin CLE RPBlue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Dealt to Blue Jays
5h agoThe Guardians traded Sandlin to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell were sent to the Guardians in return for Sandlin and Andres Gimenez. Sandlin departs Cleveland after playing for the Guardians for the first four seasons of his career, finishing his tenure with a 3.27 ERA across 195.1 innings, including a 3.75 ERA across 68 appearances in 2024.

Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL PFBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Shines in victory Monday
1h agoAntetokounmpo totaled 37 points (15-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), seven rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 NBA Cup Quarterfinals win over the Magic.
Antetokounmpo recorded a game-high 37 points while leading the Bucks in swats Tuesday. The two-time MVP made his presence felt on both ends of the floor, racking up six steals-plus-blocks for the first time over 22 regular-season outings this year. The superstar also logged his 15th 30-plus-point outing and currently leads the league in scoring, averaging 32.7 points per game thus far.
-
Jalen Suggs ORL SGMagic's Jalen Suggs: Scores career-high 32 points
1h agoSuggs recorded 32 points (12-26 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks in the Quarterfinals of the NBA Cup.
Suggs briefly exited Tuesday's contest with a right thumb injury but was able to return a few minutes later and score a career-high 32 points. With Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Franz Wagner (oblique) both slated for lengthy absences, Suggs should continue to be a focal point of Orlando's offense while still producing defensively.
-
Quentin Grimes DAL SGMavericks' Quentin Grimes: Starting sans Washington
2h agoGrimes will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
With P.J. Washington (illness) sidelined, Grimes will join the starting five for the eighth time this season. Across seven starts, the 24-year-old has averaged 16.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.7 percent from beyond the arc in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Jalen Suggs ORL SG
Magic's Jalen Suggs: Returns to action Tuesday
3h agoSuggs (thumb) checked back into Tuesday's game versus the Bucks with 1:43 remaining in the third quarter.
Despite dealing with a right thumb injury, Suggs has returned to Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old guard ultimately missed just over three minutes of game action.
-
Jalen Suggs ORL SG
Magic's Jalen Suggs: Headed to locker room
3h agoSuggs left Tuesday's game versus the Bucks with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter due to an apparent right hand injury, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Suggs tallied 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four steals, one assist and one block in 24 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If Suggs is unable to return, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony are candidates to receive increased playing time.
-
Alex Ducas OKC SGThunder's Alex Ducas: Won't play Tuesday
3h agoDucas (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Mavericks.
Ducas will sit Tuesday while he deals with a lower back sprain. The two-way guard's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, as he has averaged only 1.8 minutes per contest across four regular-season outings.
-
Mikko Rantanen COL RWAvalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Massive five-point explosion
9m agoRantanen recorded a hat trick and added two assists in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
What a way to mark his 600th NHL game. Rantanen snapped a five-game goal drought late in the third period when he put a wrist shot in off Tristan Jarry's right pad to push the score to 2-0. His second came early in the second period and stood as the winner. Rantanen scored a sniper's goal, dropping to one knee for a one-timer from a sharp angle. The third went into an empty net. He's on a three-game, seven-point streak, and he now has 10 career hat tricks. Rantanen leads the Avs with 18 goals and sits in a tie for third in league scoring with 42 points. At this rate, his new contract isn't getting any cheaper.
-
Trent Miner COL GAvalanche's Trent Miner: Returns to AHL
19m agoMiner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
Miner served as Scott Wedgewood's backup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. If Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) is healthy and ready to go Thursday versus Utah, Miner's move to the AHL will likely be long-term after the Avalanche have addressed their goaltending problem through trades.
-
Keaton Middleton COL D
Avalanche's Keaton Middleton: Sent down Tuesday
21m agoMiddleton was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
Middleton played for the third game in a row over John Ludvig in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Penguins. It's unclear if Middleton's demotion indicates a pending return for Oliver Kylington (upper body) or Josh Manson (upper body). The Avalanche's next game is Thursday at home versus Utah.
-
Nathan MacKinnon COL CAvalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Monster game in Cole Harbour duel
23m agoMacKinnon had a goal and 4 assists in a 6-2 victory over the Penguins on Tuesday. Every point came at even strength.
It was a duel of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia's best, and MacKinnon outmatched his buddy, Sidney Crosby, by a country mile. He opened the scoring on Colorado's second shot of the game. In true MacKinnon style, he bulled his way through the neutral zone at warp speed and then fired a snap shot from the left face-off circle. It was his ninth career five-point game, which moved him into a tie with Peter Forsberg for third in franchise history, behind Peter Stastny (12) and Joe Sakic (10). He's also the third player in franchise history to put up 600 assists (Sakic 1,106; Peter Stastny 668). And then there's the NHL scoring lead -- MacKinnon sits on top of the league with 46 points and 36 assists (30 games). One word: domination.
-
Ivan Ivan COL C
Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Dropped to AHL
23m agoIvan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
Ivan has frequently bounced between levels for cap-saving purposes this season. He has eight points through 30 appearances. He may return to the NHL level prior to Thursday's game versus Utah.
-
Ethan Cardwell SJ RW
Sharks' Ethan Cardwell: Sent back to AHL
1h agoCardwell was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
Cardwell has one goal, five shots on net and eight hits over six appearances at the NHL level this season. The forward could get additional looks with the Sharks, but the team's trade to acquire Nikolai Kovalenko reduced the need for Cardwell to be around for fourth-line minutes.
