Bud Dupree LAC OLBChargers' Bud Dupree: Past hamstring injury
11h agoDupree, who missed the Chargers' lone playoff game last season due to a hamstring issue, is participating in OTAs, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Dupree hurt his hamstring in Week 18 last season and had to sit out the Chargers' wild-card round loss to New England. However, his attendance during OTAs suggests that the veteran linebacker is back to full health. Dupree started just five of the 16 games in which he played last year and is slated for a similar role in 2026, as Tuli Tuipulotu and Khalil Mack are back as Los Angeles' starting outside linebackers.

Jonathon Cooper DEN LBBroncos' Jonathon Cooper: Excused from minicamp
13h agoThe Broncos excused Cooper from this week's mandatory minicamp, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.
"He's taking this time, obviously, he's got to work on himself,'' coach Sean Payton said Tuesday of Cooper, who was arrested twice during a seven-day span earlier this month on multiple domestic violence charges, including one felony. When asked if the Broncos planned to let the legal process conclude before a decision on Cooper's future with the team is made, Payton said: "There's a process period from the league and that involves the local law enforcement. We'll continue to gather that information.'' Regarding the linebacker's legal situation, a league spokesman said last week that the NFL was monitoring the case.

Markquese Bell DAL SAFCowboys' Markquese Bell: Suits up for minicamp
13h agoBell (concussion) is participating during the Cowboys' minicamp, Gareth Patterson of The Lufkin Daily News reports.
Bell was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and marijuana back in April, but the NFL has yet to send down any disciplinary action with minicamp now underway. As long as he remains available, he projects to play a rotational role in Dallas' secondary in 2026.
-
Matt Henningsen DEN DEBroncos' Matt Henningsen: Getting work during minicamp
13h agoHenningsen (Achilles) is participating during the Broncos' minicamp, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Henningsen sat out the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during a practice in August, but it now looks like he's back in shape for football activities as minicamp kicks off. He'll be competing for a depth role on Denver's 53-man roster in 2026.

Monkell Goodwine MIN DTMonkell Goodwine: Gets cut with injury settlement
13h agoMinnesota waived Goodwine (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's transactions log.
If he doesn't get picked up by another team during the current waiver period, Goodwine is on track to become an unrestricted free agent. The undrafted rookie would be available to play as soon as he has recovered from his injury.

Paul Manning DEN CB
Paul Manning: Gets waived with injury settlement
13h agoDenver waived Manning (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Unless he's claimed by another club during the current waiver period, Manning is in line to become an unrestricted free agent. The undrafted rookie would be able to sign and play with any team as soon as he's back to full health.

Troy Melton DET SPTigers' Troy Melton: Looks ready to start Saturday
9m agoMelton (back) is listed as the Tigers' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the White Sox in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Detroit scratched Melton ahead of his previously scheduled start Monday in Houston after he experienced general back tightness leading up to the contest, but he's apparently recovered well from the injury over the past couple of days. The Tigers will have the luxury of managing Melton's workload Saturday if they want to go that route, as Keider Montero's recent move out of the rotation provides the team with another option in the bullpen who's capable of covering multiple innings. Melton has fared well thus far in his four starts for Detroit since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list, turning in a 2.81 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB across 25.2 innings.
-
Trea Turner PHI SSPhillies' Trea Turner: Back in starting nine Wednesday
14m agoTurner (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Though X-rays on Turner's right wrist returned negative after he was hit by a pitch in Monday's 7-0 win in the series opener, the Phillies elected to hold the 32-year-old out of the lineup Tuesday while he dealt with some painful bruising. The day off was apparently sufficient time for Turner to recover, as he'll slot back into his usual spot in the field for the series finale. Even before hurting his wrist, Turner had been enduring a rough start to the season; he'll take a career-low .594 OPS -- down 218 points from 2025 -- into Wednesday's contest.

Joshua Baez STL OFCardinals' Joshua Baez: Has four-homer game at Triple-A
18m agoBaez went 4-for-5 with four home runs and seven RBI in Triple-A Memphis' win over Nashville on Tuesday.
Baez went deep in each of his first three trips to the plate before he grounded out back to the pitcher in the seventh inning. He then got another chance in the eighth inning and smashed a solo blast. Baez has an incredible 12 long balls over his last 18 games, pushing his total on the season to a career-high 23. He's also stolen 12 bases in 13 attempts and boasts a .976 OPS. Baez's best path to playing time with the Cardinals is in center field, and most of his starts have come at that position (35). However, Baez has played right field in each of his last three contests, which could indicate a promotion to the majors is not imminent.

Nasim Nunez WAS 2BNationals' Nasim Nunez: Rips two triples in win
26m agoNunez went 2-for-2 with two walks, two triples, three runs scored, and RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.
The speedy infielder is up to 26 steals on the year and remains one behind Tuesday's opponent, Bobby Witt, for the major-league lead. Nunez's two triples in the same game also tied a franchise record, with Daylen Lile having most recently tied the mark in September of last season. Nunez has stepped up his production at the plate in June, slashing .353/.421/.500 over 39 plate appearances with four steals, seven RBI and eight runs in 12 contests.
-
Foster Griffin WAS SPNationals' Foster Griffin: Delivers quality start Tuesday
31m agoGriffin didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
The 30-year-old lefty produced his second straight quality start and seventh of the season on 100 pitches (74 strikes), but Griffin saw his eighth win slip away when the Nationals' bullpen coughed up a two-run lead in the top of the seventh inning. Griffin has been locked in over his last five outings, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB though 28 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Phillies.
-
Zebby Matthews MIN SPTwins' Zebby Matthews: Goes seven innings in win
33m agoMatthews (3-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Rangers after tossing seven innings of two-run ball, allowing eight hits and striking out four.
Matthews has been involved in the decision in each of his seven starts this season, but this was a big bounce-back outing after giving up seven runs on nine hits across six innings in a road loss to the Tigers the last time out. Matthews has five quality starts already and has pitched at least six frames in all but one of his seven appearances. He'll take a 4.78 ERA and 1.18 WHIP to his next start, scheduled for next week at home versus the Dodgers.
-
Alex Sarr WAS CWizards' Alex Sarr: Undergoes foot surgery
2d agoSarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Despite the procedure, Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026-27 season. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick was limited to 48 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game.

Jordan McLaughlin SA PGSpurs' Jordan McLaughlin: Limited role in 2025-26
3d agoMcLaughlin averaged 2.0 points, 0.9 assists and 0.7 rebounds across 6.4 minutes per tilt in 44 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 season.
McLaughlin averaged several career lows in his first full season with San Antonio. The 30-year-old point guard logged double-digit minutes in just 12 of his regular-season outings and is now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.
-
Mason Plumlee SA CSpurs' Mason Plumlee: Wraps up quiet campaign
3d agoPlumlee posted averages of 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.6 minutes per contest across 20 regular-season appearances (three starts) between the Spurs and Hornets in 2025-26.
Plumlee began the season with the Hornets and saw inconsistent burn before undergoing right groin surgery in late December. The 36-year-old was traded to the Thunder and subsequently waived in February, and the veteran center later joined the Spurs on a 10-day deal before signing a rest-of-season contract with the club. Plumlee appeared in just six regular-season games for San Antonio and is now slated to enter unrestricted free agency.
-
Bismack Biyombo SA CSpurs' Bismack Biyombo: Career-low 5.6 MPG in 2025-26
3d agoBiyombo finished the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 0.9 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per contest over 25 outings (one start).
Biyombo averaged single-digit minutes for the first time in his career, providing depth in a crowded center room. The veteran big man has spent the last two seasons in San Antonio and is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
-
Lindy Waters III SA SFSpurs' Lindy Waters: Limited role in 2025-26
3d agoWaters averaged 2.4 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 7.1 minutes per tilt in 40 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign.
Waters didn't play in any of San Antonio's last six postseason games or log more than eight minutes in any of his nine playoff appearances. The 28-year-old swingman logged double-digit minutes in just 10 of his regular-season outings and averaged a career-low mark in minutes. He's slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
-
Kelly Olynyk SA PFSpurs' Kelly Olynyk: Plays limited role in 2025-26
3d agoOlynyk finished the 2025-26 season with averages of 3.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 8.8 minutes per tilt in 41 regular-season games.
Olynyk didn't see the floor in the final six games of the postseason, bringing an end to a quiet campaign for the veteran center. The 35-year-old logged double-digit minutes in just 17 of his regular-season appearances, closing with several career-worst averages. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after being traded twice last offseason.

Artur Akhtyamov TOR G
Maple Leafs' Artur Akhtyamov: Posts shutout in Game 3
12h agoAkhtyamov recorded a 24-save shutout in AHL Toronto's 1-0 win over Chicago in Game 3 of the Calder Cup Finals on Tuesday.
Akhtyamov has stood out in the playoffs with a 14-6 record, two shutouts, a 2.10 GAA and a .928 save percentage over 20 games. His effort Tuesday was a big one, giving the Marlies a 3-0 lead in the championship series. Akhtyamov will likely get the chance to close out the sweep in Game 4 on Thursday.

Isak Posch COL G
Predators' Isak Posch: Involved in trade
17h agoNashville acquired Posch and Ross Colton from Colorado on Tuesday in exchange for Magnus Chrona, a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick.
Posch posted a 15-8-5 record with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 28 regular-season appearances with AHL Colorado in 2025-26. He is under contract through the 2026-27 campaign, and he will probably spend most of the year in the minors.

Ross Colton COL CPredators' Ross Colton: Dealt to Music City
17h agoColton and Isak Posch were traded to Nashville from Colorado in exchange for Magnus Chrona, a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick.
Colton will suit up for his former Central Division rival in the 2026-27 campaign following his move to the Predators. Earlier in June, Nashville named Chris MacFarland the team's new President of Hockey Operations, who spent four years in Colorado before taking his new gig. Across 73 regular-season games in 2025-26, Colton compiled nine goals, 15 assists, 153 shots on net, 159 hits and 25 blocked shots. He'll likely slot into a middle-six role for the Predators, who were in need of forward depth after another season where they missed the playoffs. Colton's toughness could help fill the hits gap that Michael McCarron left behind after Nashville traded their former alternate captain away at the 2026 trade deadline.

Taylor Gauthier PIT G
Penguins' Taylor Gauthier: Lands two-way deal
18h agoGauthier signed a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Gauthier posted a 21-9-5 record with a 2.09 GAA, a .929 save percentage and three shutouts in 36 regular-season appearances for ECHL Wheeling in 2025-26. He also went 9-8 with a 2.23 GAA and a .922 save percentage during the 2026 Kelly Cup Playoffs. The 25-year-old will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.
-
Cole Clayton VAN D
Canucks' Cole Clayton: Signs one-year contract
19h agoClayton signed a one-year, two-way contract with Vancouver on Tuesday.
Clayton notched two goals and 11 points in 65 AHL regular-season games between Abbotsford and San Jose in 2025-26. The 26-year-old blueliner hasn't seen any NHL action yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.
-
Simon Benoit TOR DFlyers' Simon Benoit: Sent to Philly
22h agoBenoit and Joseph Woll were dealt to the Flyers from the Maple Leafs on Tuesday in exchange for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae and a 2026 third-round pick.
Benoit suited up for 73 games in 2025-26, logging six helpers, 194 hits, 114 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating while averaging 17:18 of ice time. The Flyers' top four appears to be set for at least the 2026-27 campaign, but Benoit should be able to be a fixture on the third pairing with his new team. The 6-foot-4 defenseman is entering the final season of his three-year, $4.05 million deal -- he's scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2027-28 campaign.
