    Saints' Zaire Mitchell-Paden: DNP in unofficial practice
    3m ago

    Mitchell-Paden (knee) was not present during the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Mitchell-Paden did not play in the Week 16 over the Jets due to a knee injury he sustained in Friday's practice. The Saints play Sunday against the Titans, so the 26-year-old still has three opportunities to elevate his practice participation and dodge an injury designation ahead of the game.

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: DNP in Tuesday walkthrough
    9m ago

    Adkins (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Adkins has suited up in consecutive games after missing five due to a knee injury, which he potentially re-aggravated last Sunday against the Jaguars. The tight end left in the first half and was unable to return to the game, a report that combine with Tuesday's practice participation, does not bode well for his chances of playing in Thursday night's game against the Chiefs. Adkins will have one more chance to increase his participation level in the hopes of avoiding an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest.

    Jamal Agnew: Waived due to failed physical
    13m ago

    The Commanders waived Agnew (undisclosed) on Tuesday.

    Agnew failed his physical due to an undisclosed injury, and the wide receiver will be sent back to the waiver wire almost as soon as he was claimed off it. The weight of a failed physical may end up condemning the 30-year-old to being a practice squad addition at best for the remainder of the 2025 season.

    Brandon Smith: Signed to practice squad
    18m ago

    The Patriots signed Smith to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Smith was waived from the Jets' practice squad Dec. 2. The former Jet may have a chance for a revenge game this Sunday, as the wide receiver is a prime candidate for practice squad elevation with Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Demario Douglas (hamstring) both nursing injuries ahead of the contest.

    Patriots' Joshua Farmer: Placed on IR
    22m ago

    The Patriots placed Farmer (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Farmer suffered the injury in Sunday night's win over the Ravens and will now miss the final two games of the regular season and at least the first two games of the playoffs. The fourth-round rookie defensive tackle has appeared in 13 games this season, making three starts, and has recorded 15 tackles (seven solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

    Elijah Mitchell: Signs with New England
    23m ago

    The Patriots signed Mitchell to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Mitchell was waived by the Chiefs last Saturday and has already found a new home. The running back has a chance to be elevated for Week 17 against the Jets due to the Patriots' starting back, TreyVeyon Henderson (concussion), potentially not clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game.

  • Ryan O'Hearn SD 1B
    Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Gets $29 million from Pirates
    2h ago

    The Pirates signed O'Hearn to a two-year, $29 million contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    He'll have the opportunity to stretch the total guarantee to $30 million if he reaches $500,000 in incentives each year of the deal. O'Hearn has slashed .277/.343/.445 over the last three regular seasons between the Orioles and Padres and made his first All-Star team in 2025. The left-handed hitter reversed a career trend and hit better versus lefties (.832 OPS) than righties (.795 OPS) in 2025, so he could be an everyday player in Pittsburgh. With Spencer Horwitz manning first base, O'Hearn will likely see most of his playing time at designated hitter.

    Cubs' Jacob Webb: Grabs MLB pact from Cubs
    4h ago

    The Cubs signed Webb to a one-year contract Tuesday that includes a club option for 2027, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    Webb was non-tendered by the Rangers last month even after posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 58:19 K:BB across 66 innings during the 2025 season. The 32-year-old right-hander should fill a middle-relief role in the Cubs' bullpen.

    Pirates' Oddanier Mosqueda: Signs NRI deal with Pirates
    4h ago

    The Pirates signed Mosqueda to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

    Mosqueda pitched for Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization in 2025, holding a 4.52 ERA and 68:31 K:BB over 65.2 innings. The left-handed reliever has yet to reach the big leagues but will compete for a roster spot in spring training.

    White Sox's Ryan Rolison: Cleared from 40-man roster
    6h ago

    The White Sox designated Rolison for assignment Tuesday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Sean Newcomb, who was signed Tuesday. Rolison was a waiver claim of the White Sox earlier this month and will now be up for grabs on waivers again. He held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025.

    White Sox's Sean Newcomb: Inks one-year deal with White Sox
    6h ago

    The White Sox signed Newcomb (elbow) to a one-year, $4.5 million contract Tuesday.

    Newcomb was terrific as a full-time reliever after being traded to the Athletics last season, collecting a 1.75 ERA and 50:14 K:BB over 51.1 innings. The left-hander will get an opportunity to start in Chicago, per Will Sammon of The Athletic, though he could eventually shift back to a relief role. Newcomb's 2025 campaign ended prematurely due to left elbow inflammation, but he should be ready to go for spring training.

  • Cole Young SEA SS
    Mariners' Cole Young: Won't be blocked by outside add
    8h ago

    Young is expected to see the majority of playing time at second base for the Mariners in 2026 even if the team acquires a second baseman from outside the organization, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.

    The Mariners remain very high on Young even after he had just a .607 OPS in 257 plate appearances during his rookie season. Young is just 22, but the Mariners appear committed to giving him some leash in the majors in 2026. It seemingly makes a trade for Ketel Marte unlikely, and if Brendan Donovan is acquired, he would be in line to see the bulk of his reps at a position other than second base.

    Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Downgraded to doubtful Tuesday
    13m ago

    Powell is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.

    Powell is expected to be downgraded to out at some point prior to Tuesday's tipoff. He's been outside of the Dallas rotation for three consecutive games, so the center minutes are unlikely to be changed by his likely absence.

    40m ago

    Carter is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained left ankle.

    It's a downgrade from questionable for Carter, who's trending towards sitting out Tuesday. His expected absence doesn't have major ramifications for the Kings, though Keon Ellis and Malik Monk should at least stay in the rotation.

    Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Won't play Tuesday
    41m ago

    Williams (rest) won't play Tuesday against the Magic.

    Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Williams hasn't been cleared to play in both halves yet. It remains to be seen if Duop Reath or Yang Hansen will pick up some backup center minutes Tuesday. Williams posted eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Monday's loss to the Pistons.

    Kings' Doug McDermott: Upgraded to available
    43m ago

    McDermott (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    McDermott is overcoming a questionable designation to suit up Tuesday. That said, he's appeared in just two games for the Kings this season, so it's unlikely McDermott takes the floor in a meaningful capacity.

    Grant (Achilles) will not play Tuesday against the Magic.

    1h ago

    Holland (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

    Holland missed his first game of the season Monday, but he remains day-to-day. Isaiah Stewart and Javonte Green could be a bit more involved for Detroit if Holland is forced to the shelf again.

    Dunn was hurt during Monday's clash with the Ducks and will now be sidelined for the second game of the Kraken's back-to-back. Injuries are starting to pile up for Seattle, as the team will also be without Brandon Montour (hand). With Dunn unavailable, Ryker Evans figures to see a significant uptick in ice time, while Cale Fleury should step into the lineup for the first time since Oct. 23 versus the Jets.

    Karlsson (lower body) is set to return prior to the Olympic break, Sin Bin Vegas reports Tuesday.

    Karlsson may be in danger of missing the Olympic tournament if Sweden doesn't keep a roster spot open for him. The Knights didn't provide a more concrete recovery timeline for Karlsson, but mid-to-late January seems the most likely timeline to give him enough time to head to Milan.
