Zay Flowers BAL WRRavens' Zay Flowers: Fifth-year option picked up
17m agoThe Ravens exercised Flowers' $27.3 million team option for 2027 on Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Picking up Flowers' fifth-year option was viewed as a formality for the Ravens, after the 25-year-old led Baltimore in receptions and receiving yards in each of his three seasons since entering the NFL as a first-round selection out of Boston College in 2023. Though Flowers will be on the books for the next two seasons, the Ravens are expected to initiate talks with the wideout on a contract extension over the next few months. Flowers will be locked in as Baltimore's clear top target heading into the upcoming campaign and could have a chance at building on the career-best 86-1,211-5 receiving line he produced in 2025 after the Ravens let Isaiah Likely walk in free agency and have thus far not brought in any major reinforcements at receiver or tight end.

Hunter Wohler IND LBColts' Hunter Wohler: Almost back to full health
14h agoGeneral manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Wohler is at the end of his rehab for the foot injury he suffered during preseason last year, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Wohler's rookie year was cut short by a season-ending foot injury he sustained during the second week of the preseason, but the hope is that he won't have any limitations when Indianapolis kicks off training camp in July. After the Colts lost starting safety Nick Cross to the Commanders in free agency, they neglected to bring in any big name as a replacement, meaning there could be room for Wohler to earn a spot on the 53-man roster this summer.

Justin Walley IND CBColts' Justin Walley: Nearly finished rehabbing
14h agoGeneral manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Walley is at the end of his rehab for the ACL tear he suffered in August of 2025, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Walley was unable to play at all last year after tearing his ACL during training camp, but there's optimism he'll be back to full strength when training camp begins in 2026. With veteran starting corner Kenny Moore seeking a trade away from Indianapolis, the team could be in more need of Walley's services when the new season starts than it thought it would be.

DeForest Buckner IND DTColts' DeForest Buckner: Could return during training camp
14h agoThe Colts are targeting a return to football activities during training camp in July for Buckner (neck), JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Following a one-game return in Week 16 versus the 49ers, Buckner underwent surgery to address a neck injury he sustained in Week 9 at Pittsburgh last season. Per general manager Chris Ballard, Buckner is now in a good spot, and there's hope he'll be able to practice when training camp starts up in Indianapolis this summer. If available, he projects to play a major role on the interior of the Colts' defensive line in 2026.
-
Spencer Shrader IND KColts' Spencer Shrader: Kicking again
14h agoGeneral manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Shrader (knee) will kick with the team during training camp in July, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Shrader tore the ACL in his plant leg when he was run into on an extra-point attempt in Week 5 of the 2025 season versus the Raiders, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. Per Ballard, he recently made a 54-yard field goal during a workout. He performed well as Indianapolis' starting kicker last year before suffering the season-ending injury, making 13 of his 14 field-goal attempts and all 14 of his extra-point tries over five games, but Blake Grupe, who signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Colts in March, will be tough competition for the club's starting kicker job this summer.

George Pickens DAL WRCowboys' George Pickens: Team optimistic he'll sign tag
17h agoThe Cowboys aren't sure if Pickens will participate in the offseason program after they ended negotiations on a long-term contract, but the team is optimistic he'll sign his franchise tag before Week 1, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Pickens likely was hoping for a multi-year deal with a signing bonus larger than his $27.3 million franchise tag. The Cowboys are hoping he'll respond to their direct approach, having informed agent David Mulugheta last week that they don't want to discuss a long-term contract and hope Pickens will play under his tag. For now, Pickens isn't technically under contract and thus can't be fined for missing practices or meetings. If he were to remain unsigned at the start of the regular season, he'd then miss out on $1.52 million each week until he signs and reports to the team. In the meantime, trade rumors are sure to swirl, especially given that this announcement comes on the eve of the 2026 NFL Draft. Pickens would have to sign his franchise tag to facilitate a trade, with any team acquiring him then having until July 15 to hammer out a long-term contract. That said, Cowboys COO Stephen Jones gave the impression that he expects Pickens to eventually sign his tag and play for the team in 2026.

Dylan Dodd ATL SPBraves' Dylan Dodd: Officially placed on injured list
3m agoAtlanta placed Dodd on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left thoracic spine inflammation.
Atlanta has not provided a timetable for Dodd's return, but the nature of the injury suggests it could be a longer than minimum stay on the IL for the lefty. Dodd has been effective in two relief outings with the big club this season, allowing one run with a 4:1 K:BB over four innings.
-
Taylor Rogers MIN RPTwins' Taylor Rogers: Tagged with loss in relief
5m agoRogers (0-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Wednesday against the Mets after allowing one run on one hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning.
Rogers came to pitch in the eighth inning in a tied game, but he gave up what ended up being the deciding run on an RBI single from Mark Vientos that scored Brett Baty. Rogers has given up runs in three of his last seven appearances, posting a 4:4 K:BB and a 5.68 ERA across 6.1 frames over that stretch.
-
Connor Prielipp MIN SPTwins' Connor Prielipp: Fans six in MLB debut
8m agoPrielipp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets. He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out six across four innings.
Prielipp tossed 52 of his 82 pitches for strikes in his major-league debut, but he gave up runs in the first and fourth innings via an RBI single from Francisco Lindor (calf) and an RBI double from Francisco Alvarez. With Mick Abel (elbow) sidelined, Prielipp could stay in the Twins' rotation for more than one start. If that's the case, he could be tentatively lined up to make his upcoming start next week at home against the Mariners.
-
Carlos Carrasco ATL SPBraves' Carlos Carrasco: Added to big-league roster
9m agoAtlanta selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Carrasco has been excellent so far this season with Gwinnett, putting up a 1.71 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with an 18:5 K:BB through 21 innings. The 39-year-old is slated to serve in a long relief role for Atlanta.
-
Didier Fuentes ATL PBraves' Didier Fuentes: Optioned after spot start
11m agoAtlanta optioned Fuentes to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Fuentes was shaky in a spot start Wednesday versus the Nationals, striking out seven but permitting four earned runs on seven hits and a walk over three frames. The 20-year-old should get another opportunity in the Atlanta rotation later this summer, but for now he will continue to hone his craft at Gwinnett, where he's posted a 2.16 ERA and 20:6 K:BB in 16.2 innings.
-
JR Ritchie ATL SPBraves' JR Ritchie: Added to roster ahead of debut
14m agoAtlanta selected Ritchie's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Ritchie is set to make his major-league debut Thursday versus the Nationals. The 22-year-old has had a dominant run at Gwinnett to begin the 2026 campaign, collecting a 0.99 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB through 27.1 innings spanning five starts. It's likely to be just a spot start for Ritchie, as Spencer Strider (oblique) is due to rejoin the Atlanta rotation next week.

Ajay Mitchell OKC PGThunder's Ajay Mitchell: Productive off bench Wednesday
26m agoMitchell totaled 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 120-107 victory over the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The second-year guard led the Thunder's second unit in scoring and assists on the night. Mitchell has made a consistent impact on defense over the last few weeks, recording at least one steal in six of his last seven games dating back to March 30 while averaging 10.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.9 boards, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes in 23.9 minutes during that span.
-
Chet Holmgren OKC PFThunder's Chet Holmgren: Four rejections in Game 2 win
29m agoHolmgren notched 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and four blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The 23-year-old big continues to be a force at the rim. Despite sitting out the final two games of the regular season due to back trouble, Holmgren has recorded multiple blocks in five straight appearances, averaging 20.2 points, 9.2 boards, 3.2 blocks, 2.6 threes, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.4 minutes over that stretch while shooting 64.3 percent from the floor and 54.2 percent (13-for-24) from downtown.
-
Royce O'Neale PHO PFSuns' Royce O'Neale: Just misses double-double in Game 2
32m agoO'Neale totaled 16 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The veteran forward bounced back from a quiet Game 1 performance to post his best scoring effort since a March 24 start against the Nuggets. O'Neale has scored in double digits in five of his last 10 games, all with the second unit, while averaging 8.6 points, 4.8 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.9 minutes.
-
Jalen Green PHO SGSuns' Jalen Green: Hits for 21 in Game 2 loss
34m agoGreen registered 21 points (8-23 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The fifth-year guard is having trouble finding his shot from the outside against the Thunder's perimeter defense. After a couple huge performances to close out the regular season, Green is averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes to begin the playoffs while shooting just 35.9 percent from the floor and 20.0 percent (3-for-15) from beyond the arc.
-
Devin Booker PHO SGSuns' Devin Booker: Pops for 22 in Wednesday's loss
38m agoBooker supplied 22 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The 29-year-old guard extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 13, dating back to March 22. Booker may not be quite 100 percent healthy, however -- since missing a couple contests toward the end of the regular season with an ankle issue, he hasn't topped 23 points in four games while shooting just 14.3 percent (2-for-14) from three-point range. He may need to find another gear when the series shifts back to Phoenix for Game 3 on Saturday if the Suns are going to avoid being swept.
-
Dillon Brooks PHO SFSuns' Dillon Brooks: Pours in team-high 30 in Game 2
42m agoBrooks contributed 30 points (12-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The 30 points led the Suns on the night, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the defending champs. It was the first time Brooks had scored 30 or more points since returning from a hand injury at the end of March, and his best scoring effort since Jan. 29, when he erupted for 40 points against the Pistons. Over nine games in April, Brooks is averaging 17.7 points, 4.0 boards, 2.4 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals.

Trevor Zegras PHI CFlyers' Trevor Zegras: Two points in win over Pens
10m agoZegras produced a goal and an assist Wednesday, both on the power play, during the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round series.
The 25-year-old center got Philly on the board early in the first period, wiring a one-timer from the faceoff dot past Stuart Skinner, before helping to set up Noah Cates for a third-period tally. Zegras has a goal and three points in three games to begin the playoffs, continuing a surge that saw him deliver four goals and 14 points over his last 14 regular-season contests.
-
Noah Cates PHI LWFlyers' Noah Cates: Two-point effort in Game 3
13m agoCates scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist Wednesday during the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round series.
Both points came in the third period as Philly pulled away. The points were the first of the playoffs for Cates, after the 27-year-old collected a career-high 18 goals and 47 points in 82 games during the regular season. He'll look to keep rolling in Game 4 on Saturday.
-
Dan Vladar PHI GFlyers' Dan Vladar: Sharp in Game 3 win
15m agoVladar made 28 saves Wednesday during the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round series.
Both Pittsburgh goals came on power plays in the first and third periods, as Vladar was a wall at even strength to help propel Philly to the verge of a series sweep. The 28-year-old netminder has a dazzling 1.33 GAA and .947 save percentage to begin his postseason run, and he'll look to finish the job on home ice Saturday in Game 4 and punch the Flyers' tickets to the second round.
-
Stuart Skinner PIT GPenguins' Stuart Skinner: Flops in Philly
20m agoSkinner stopped 24 of 28 shots Wednesday during the Penguins' 5-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 3 of their first-round series. Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net.
Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, but Skinner let it slip away in a shaky second period that saw him give up three goals on 15 shots. With the Penguins facing elimination in Game 4 on Saturday and Skinner carrying a 3.08 GAA and .873 save percentage while losing the first three games of the series, coach Dam Muse may have to consider switching to Arturs Silvos between the pipes to try and spark a comeback.
-
Bobby Brink MIN RWWild's Bobby Brink: Chips in with helper
6h agoBrink notched a power-play assist, three hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Brink was out of the lineup for the series opener, but he's since played in two straight games. He doesn't appear to have the full trust of head coach John Hynes, and that could lead to Brink getting scratched once Mats Zuccarello (upper body) and Yakov Trenin (upper body) are healthy again. Brink produced 30 points, 104 shots on net, 80 hits and a minus-7 rating over 68 regular-season outings between Minnesota and Philadelphia.
-
Michael McCarron MIN RWWild's Michael McCarron: Scores in Game 3 loss
6h agoMcCarron scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
McCarron's goal put the Wild ahead 3-2 late in the second period, but they couldn't maintain the lead. This was McCarron's first career playoff goal -- prior to this postseason, he had never recorded a point in nine playoff outings over three different campaigns. The 31-year-old was able to produce 17 points over 79 regular-season contests between the Wild and the Predators, and the Wild traded for him to stabilize their fourth line, so he should see plenty of playing time in that role.
