Dalvin Cook Not In A Rush To Sign With New Team

Free-agent running back Dalvin Cook indicated he's not in a hurry to sign with a new club. The Vikings recently released Cook after several quality seasons.

CeeDee Lamb Has "Only Scratched The Surface"

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott believes CeeDee Lamb will be the "best receiver in this league," while adding the wideout has "only scratched the surface of what he's capable of doing." Lamb certainly has the stats to support an argument, as he had his most potent season in 2022, amassing 107 catches for 1,359 yards […]

Daniel Jones Won't Let New Contract Change Him

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March. Yet, despite the lucrative deal, the signal-caller won't let pressure get the best of him.

Bam Adebayo Good To Go For Game 5

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (shoulder) is available for Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus Denver. Adebayo's shoulder issue isn't anything new, and he'll likely need to address it further after the season. But for now, he'll be on the floor for the pivotal matchup. The 25-year-old has played exceptionally well in this series, […]

Cody Zeller Available On Monday Night

Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (nose) is good to go ahead of Monday's playoff matchup against Denver. The big man was listed on the injury report because of a nasal fracture before this series, so his availability isn't a surprise. However, Zeller has averaged only 6.5 minutes per game in the NBA Finals, meaning he […]

Gabe Vincent Available For Game 5

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is available for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Vincent has battled ankle soreness for a while, so his presence on the injury report isn't anything new. However, after the 26-year-old averaged 15.8 points in the Eastern Conference Finals, he hasn't looked the same in this series. But he's […]

Tyler Herro Still Out On Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand) won't return for Game 5 of the NBA Finals against Denver. Herro has progressed since undergoing surgery on his hand early in the postseason. While there's always a chance he could return if Miami keeps the series going beyond Game 5, it's more realistic to assume DFS managers won't […]

Chris Paul Unlikely To Return To Phoenix If Waived

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, guard Chris Paul would likely be unwilling to remain in Phoenix when and if the team waives him. The Suns are exploring a way to trade the 38-year-old. However, if Phoenix doesn't pick up his $30.8 million team option, which is the plan, he wouldn't look to re-sign for […]

Kyrie Irving To The Rockets?

According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the Rockets may look to add guard Kyrie Irving this offseason, especially if the club isn't successful in bringing back James Harden. Irving began the 2022 campaign in Brooklyn but was traded to Dallas, where he averaged 27 points in 20 games for the Mavericks. There's always a chance […]

Fred VanVleet Unlikely To Return To Toronto

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, guard Fred VanVleet is "more likely than not to relocate" this offseason. It's a new era in Toronto, with the team parting ways with Nick Nurse and hiring Grizzlies assistant Darko Rajakovic to replace him. As a result, the Raptors could be entering a rebuild and might not be […]

Tylor Megill May Have Next Start Skipped

According to Mets skipper Buck Showalter, pitcher Tylor Megill may have his next start skipped. New York has additional time off on the horizon, which would allow Showalter a way to "wiggle" things if needed. However, considering the 27-year-old right-hander has gone 5-4 with a 5.14 ERA this season, the latest update won't impact many […]

Update On Vinnie Pasquantino Expected On Monday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) recently landed on the 10-day injured list after experiencing discomfort on Friday versus the Orioles.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown hasn't ruled out Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) returning at some point this season.

Yordan Alvarez Without A Return Timetable

According to Astros general manager Dana Brown, designated hitter/outfielder Yordan Alvarez remains without a firm return date.

Ryan Tannehill "Head And Shoulders Above The Other Guys"

According to ESPN's Turron Davenport, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is "head and shoulders" above Malik Willis and Will Levis. Nobody has hope that Willis will be under center for Tennessee come Week 1, or ever, for that matter. But Levis, taken with the No. 33 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is expected to […]

Broncos Unlikely To Pursue Dalvin Cook

According to Mike Klis of 9News.com, a local Denver station, the Broncos "do not appear to be in on" free-agent running back Dalvin Cook. While Klis does anticipate the team adding another backfield performer, it will probably be someone who occupies at least the No. 3 spot on the depth chart. The team's No. 1 […]

Garrett Wilson Draws Praise From New Quarterback

New York Jets wideout was "the likely star" of OTAs. He also continued to build on his on-field relationship with Aaron Rodgers. The former Packer signal-caller was quick to praise Wilson, stating that the wideout had at least one "wow" moment each day. Of course, Wilson, who had 83 catches for 1,103 yards and four […]

Unfortunately, he suffered a right oblique strain at the end of May and landed on the 15-day injured […]

Ryan Weber May Need Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees relief pitcher Ryan Weber (elbow) may need Tommy John surgery. The 32-year-old has appeared in 14 1/3 innings in eight games this season, amassing a 3.14 ERA with seven strikeouts. Unfortunately, he landed on the 15-day injured list on June 3 because of right forearm and elbow discomfort, which resulted in a […]

Ben Joyce Placed On 15-Day IL

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Ben Joyce (arm) landed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The 22-year-old was yanked from Friday's meeting with the Mariners after experiencing numbness in his hand and forearm caused by ulnar neuritis, so he'll miss at least a few weeks. Joyce has played sparingly for the big club in 2023, […]

Harrison Bader Making Progress

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is progressing after landing on the IL. He's been out with a low-grade hamstring string, but fortunately, he's been running, hitting, and throwing without discomfort, which is certainly a positive sign. The 29-year-old has played well enough this season to land on some fantasy rosters, hitting .267 with […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow, back) faced hitters on June 7, throwing 20 pitches. The left-hander is scheduled for more sessions on June 11 and June 15.

Hunter Renfroe Expected To Come Off Paternity List Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is expected to come off the paternity list on Saturday. Renfroe's stint on the list was short-lived, as expected, so he'll likely be back in the lineup on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. The 31-year-old has hit .252 with 32 runs, 57 hits, 30 RBI, and 11 home runs […]

Yu Chang Expected Back From Injured List Monday
