CJ Elleby Signs Exhibit 10 Deal With Timberwolves

The 2020 second-round pick out of Washington State will battle throughout training camp for a spot on the regular season roster. He's played for the Trail Blazers during the last two seasons, averaging 4.6 points and 2.9 rebounds during that span. Unquestionably, Elleby […]

Mekhi Becton Slowly Progressing

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton isn't handling the heat well in training camp practices, but the Jets should be happy with their right tackle's progression, especially considering where he was in the spring and at the start of training camp. If Becton can stay healthy and George Fant eventually returns to full strength, […]

Carl Lawson Emerging For The Jets

New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson was given $45 million last year to be a dominant pass-rusher, but instead he missed the entire season due to injuries. However, he appears to be emerging after six training camp practices this summer. The team's deep defensive end group has looked good so far in training camp, […]

Alex Kirilloff Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist inflammation.

Kevin Durant Expected To Meet With Joe Tsai

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is expected to meet with team governor Joe Tsai in the coming days. It's unknown what will be discussed or what will come from it. However, not only could it determine Durant's future in Brooklyn, but it could have ramifications for Kyrie Irving as well. The 33-year-old is coming off […]

Chester Rogers Signs With Texans

Free-agent wide receiver Chester Rogers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old visited with Houston on Monday, so apparently that went very well. This is a nice depth signing, but this won't mean too much in terms of fantasy football. Last season, Rogers finished with 30 receptions, 301 receiving yards, […]

Avisail Garcia Exits Early With Hamstring Discomfort

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds with left hamstring discomfort. He went 0-for-1 before exiting in the second inning.

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has established himself as a No. 1 option, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Noah Vonleh Signs With Celtics

Free-agent forward Noah Vonleh signed a training camp deal with the Celtics. The 26-year-old has suited up for seven teams since being selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, averaging 5.1 boards and 4.9 points. Even if he makes the team, he'll likely have to scratch and claw to see […]

Justin Turner Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He has been sidelined since July 27 with an abdominal strain. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Turner could be back for the Twins series next week once he is eligible to come off the injured list. The 37-year-old […]

D.J. Humphries Gets Three-Year Extension

Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle D.J. Humphries has received a three-year extension from the organization. The 28-year-old was heading into the final year of his contract, but that changed quickly.

Diontae Johnson, Steelers Not Close On Extension

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is unlikely to sign an extension anytime soon. In fact, Gerry Dulac reports that Johnson and the Steelers are far apart on a new deal. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Johnson gets an extension before Week 1. GM Omar Khan mentioned that he wants to get […]

Luis Robert Activated From The Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) was activated from the injured list Tuesday. He was initially expected to return later in the week but showed enough progress in his recovery to be activated on Tuesday.

Trevor Rosenthal Traded To The Brewers

The San Francisco Giants traded pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (hamstring) to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. The 32-year-old is several weeks away from pitching, but it didn't stop Milwaukee from acquiring Rosenthal. He didn't pitch in 2021 due to shoulder and hip issues.

No Urgency To Add WR After James Washington's Injury

Buffalo Bills All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) suffered a hyperextended elbow in training camp practice on Tuesday and will miss what one source described as "a few weeks." Poyer is expected to return for the start of the regular season. It's not great news for one of the standouts of Buffalo's defense, but the good […]

Whit Merrifield Traded To Toronto

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a bit of an odd move considering Merrifield's vaccination status. All players who play in Toronto must be vaccinated and Merrifield missed a series earlier in Toronto due to his status. Regardless, the Royals will receive infielders Samad […]
