Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt sustained a full dislocation of his right pinky finger in Tuesday's Game 1 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. According to Charania, Vanderbilt needed stitches after the game because the bone in his dislocated finger broke the skin. He exited the game in the second quarter after slamming his finger on the backboard during a block attempt. Vanderbilt finished the night with two points and one rebound in six minutes. During the playoffs, Vanderbilt has averaged 12.0 minutes per game. The 27-year-old has seen regular rotation minutes, but his contributions have been limited to 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Jake LaRavia could see an uptick in minutes if Vanderbilt misses time, which seems likely.--Taavi Pailk

Minnesota Wild right wing Mats Zuccarello extended his personal point streak to five games with an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The veteran forward became only the third player in Wild history to record a point in each of his first five appearances of a postseason campaign. He has tallied two goals and five assists in five games. Zuccarello was unavailable for three contests during Round 1 against Dallas due to an upper-body injury. Since returning to the lineup, Zuccarello has formed a prolific trio with Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman. He is also a threat on the first power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov scored his third goal of the 2026 postseason in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Russian star needed just six seconds to respond to Martin Necas' opening goal in the first period. Unfortunately for the Wild, they were second-best again in the matchup and will take a 2-0 series deficit back home. On Tuesday night, Kaprizov caught teammate Quinn Hughes atop the postseason scoring charts. He has tallied 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in eight games. Including the regular season, Kaprizov has posted four goals and eight points in six meetings with the Avalanche this season. Colorado is struggling to contain him, but Kaprizov clearly needs more help in the series.--Taavi Pailk

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood stopped 29 of 31 pucks in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild. While Wedgewood finished with one fewer save than in Game 1 of the series, his performance was much better. His save percentage went from .833 to .935. The 33-year-old looked unbeatable at times during the regular season and has also been brilliant for the Avalanche in the playoffs. Wedgewood has won all six starts, allowing 2.12 goals with a .923 save percentage. Cam Ward and Tiny Thompson are the only netminders in NHL history to win each of their first seven career postseason starts. Wedgewood can join them in Game 3 against Minnesota.--Taavi Pailk

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog made the difference with the man advantage in Game 2 against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night, recording two power-play points in a 5-2 win. The Avalanche captain netted his team's second goal and assisted Nathan MacKinnon on the fourth. After being limited to 35 points (14 goals, 21 assists) in 60 regular-season outings, Landeskog has elevated his performance in the playoffs. He is riding a five-game point streak and has seven points (three goals, four assists) in six games overall. The Wild have a horrible 59.8 percent penalty kill in the playoffs, setting Landeskog up for further success in the second-round matchup.--Taavi Pailk

Colorado Avalanche right wing Martin Necas contributed a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild, giving him back-to-back multi-point games. The Czech star opened the scoring at even strength in Game 2 of the second-round series and added a power-play assist. Despite a slow start in the playoffs, Necas is averaging more than a point per game. He's had five points in the first two contests against Minnesota, bringing his total to seven points (one goal, six assists) in six games. While Necas' goal-scoring numbers have been disappointing in the postseason, he's getting plenty of scoring chances, averaging three SOG per game. His puck luck should eventually turn around.--Taavi Pailk

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon notched one goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 Game 2 victory over the Minnesota Wild. He recorded two points on the power play, including his goal. The 2024 MVP became only the sixth player in the past 40 years to post three consecutive three-point games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. MacKinnon has truly come to life after recording only one point through his first three playoff outings. With six games played, MacKinnon boasts four goals and six assists. This could be a highly productive series for the Avalanche superstar, as Minnesota's defense is struggling badly, allowing 14 goals in two games.--Taavi Pailk

The Toronto Maple Leafs won the NHL draft lottery on Tuesday night, putting the team in pole position to select highly-rated forward Gavin McKenna with the first pick, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. McKenna, who will turn 19 in December, has long been considered a generational talent. He will enter the draft after finishing as the Big Ten top scorer with Penn State, amassing 51 points (15 goals, 38 assists) in 35 appearances. Adding him to the mix should give a big boost to the Maple Leafs, who ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic Division in 2025-26. Toronto is selecting first in the draft for the third time in franchise history, following 2016 (Auston Matthews) and 1985 (Wendel Clark).--Taavi Pailk

The New York Yankees announced that they optioned right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. In his second major-league start on Tuesday night against the Rangers, Rodriguez, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, picked up a no-decision by allowing three earned runs on six hits while walking four and striking out two in 4 2/3 innings of work in the Bronx. The 22-year-old Puerto Rican also faced the Rangers in his MLB debut on April 29, taking the loss while giving up two earned runs while walking four, and striking out three in four frames. Through his first two starts with the Yankees, Rodriguez has a 5.19 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 8 2/3 innings. He will head back to the farm to work on his control with left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) expected to come off the 15-day injured list soon to make his 2026 season debut. Rodriguez should be back up in the big leagues at some point later this year, and he's one of the better young pitching stashes in deeper fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Reds right-handed closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) will have imaging on Wednesday morning, but he will go on the 15-day injured list, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Pagan threw just one pitch before injuring his left hamstring in Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs, and he had to be carted off the field. It's not the first time this year that Pagan has dealt with an injury to the same hamstring, but this time it's much worse. It's unclear exactly what his timetable for a return will be, but fantasy managers should expect a lengthy absence. The 34-year-old veteran has six saves in his 14 relief appearances for the Reds this year, but it hasn't been pretty otherwise, as he came into Tuesday's game with a 6.43 ERA (5.86 FIP) and 1.43 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and six walks in 14 innings pitched. Right-hander Tony Santillan will most likely be the favorite for saves in Cincy moving forward, making him a priority waiver-wire addition for fantasy managers in search of saves. Graham Ashcraft could also be involved. Santillan is currently rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Veteran free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs was found not guilty on Tuesday of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute, according to ESPN. Diggs pleaded not guilty in February to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge that stemmed from the alleged dispute. The four-time Pro Bowler is now cleared for a return to the field, but he could still face discipline from the NFL as part of the league's personal-conduct policy. Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef, testified that Diggs slapped and choked her during an argument. "The evidence has shown what we've maintained from day one: Mr. Diggs was wrongly accused, and this case represents exactly the kind of opportunistic targeting that players can face the moment they step off the field," Diggs' attorneys said in a statement. Despite his off-the-field issues, Diggs is the top available player on the open market this late into the offseason after recording the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career in 2025 with the New England Patriots. He was released in March after signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the Pats last year. Diggs' 2026 fantasy value will depend entirely on where he lands.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) was carted off from his team's game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night after one pitch and was clutching his left hamstring, according to Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wittenmeyer notes that Pagan has been dealing with tightness in the hamstring this season but has avoided a trip to the injured list to this point. Entering play on Tuesday, Pagan had pitched to a 6.43 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 11 strikeouts, six saves, and three blown saves across 14 innings in 2026. He may have been in danger of losing the ninth-inning role in Cincinnati for performance reasons anyway, but it seems as though Pagan could now miss time due to injury. If Pagan does end up on the injured list, Reds right-handers Tony Santillan and Graham Ashcraft could be the favorites to assume the closer role in Cincinnati.--Will Brady

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader (biceps) threw a scoreless inning with a walk and a strikeout in his rehab appearance with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday. The 32-year-old is on the 60-day injured list due to a biceps injury, which means he is not eligible to make his return to Houston until late May. Still, it's a positive sign that Hader is taking steps in his progression back to the big leagues. Hader was dominant for the Astros in 2025, pitching to a 2.05 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with 76 strikeouts and 28 saves across 52 2/3 innings. Houston has struggled to fill the closer role in Hader's absence, with right-hander Enyel De Los Santos currently leading the team with three saves. Upon his return, Hader should immediately re-assume the ninth-inning role for the Astros.--Will Brady

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) threw 83 pitches across 6 1/3 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. The veteran left-hander struggled, allowing seven hits, five earned runs, and two walks while recording four strikeouts. Still, Rodon has now thrown 16 innings across three rehab outings as he works his way back from offseason elbow surgery. If he comes through this outing without any issues over the next few days, Rodon's next start could come in the big leagues. The 33-year-old was excellent for the Yankees in 2025, recording an 18-9 record with a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203 strikeouts across 195 1/3 innings (33 starts). Upon his return, Rodon should be rostered in all fantasy formats.--Will Brady

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) struggled in his rehab outing with High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday, allowing seven hits and five earned runs across 4 1/3 innings. Cole threw 69 pitches, recording four strikeouts without walking a batter. The veteran right-hander has now made four rehab starts as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, which caused him to miss the entire 2025 season. Cole was placed on the 15-day injured list before the start of 2026 and is eligible to be activated at any point, but the Yankees said before his start on Tuesday that he's still a little ways away from returning to the big leagues. Cole was an effective pitcher in 2024, pitching to an 8-5 record with a 3.41 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 99 strikeouts across 95 innings (17 starts). He may no longer be the Cy Young candidate he once was at his peak, but Cole should still provide fantasy-relevant production upon his return to the Yankees.--Will Brady

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw five innings in a rehab outing in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Rodriguez has yet to take the mound in an MLB game in 2026 due to shoulder inflammation, but he appears to be making progress towards a return. If Rodriguez makes it through his start on Tuesday without any setbacks, he may only need another couple of rehab outings before he's ready for a promotion to the big leagues. The 26-year-old missed the entire 2025 season due to lat and elbow issues, so it's been nearly two full calendar years since he last pitched in the majors. Still, Rodriguez was effective in 2024, recording a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 26.5% strikeout rate across 116 2/3 innings (20 starts) for the Baltimore Orioles. In deeper fantasy leagues, Rodriguez could be worth stashing off the waiver wire ahead of a potential return.--Will Brady

Los Angeles Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said that starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) will be shut down for "three to four weeks with the hope he can build back up as a starter thereafter," per ESPN's Alden Gonzalez. Kikuchi was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday due to shoulder inflammation. The 34-year-old was off to a rough start to 2026 before the injury, posting a 0-3 record with a 5.81 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts across 31 innings (seven starts). Given his struggles and the uncertain injury timeline, Kikuchi is a drop candidate in most fantasy formats. Left-hander Sam Aldegheri will get the first chance to take Kikuchi's spot in the Angels' starting rotation.--Will Brady

Almost like deja vu, Justin Rose returned to competition last week sporting an unfamiliar name to the golfing scene, especially the hard goods portion of it. And, just like the last time he switched to a niche company outside the mainstream, it didn't look good. It was arguably more from his chipping and putting, but posting an even 0.00 strokes gained on approach is a steep fall from what we've seen from him most of the year. His long history at Quail Hollow holds a few good memories and finishes, but what sticks out more in the metrics is the putting woes he's experienced here. The 45-year-old has only gained strokes on the greens four times in 11 events played. The uncertainty with the new additions in the bag and his clear struggle on these putting surfaces make him a hard sell this week. There aren't many places Rosey can't get things done, but this track feels as close to that possibility as any other venue on tour.--Todd McGill

Kansas City Royals left-hander Noah Cameron (back) said he started to develop back tightness after his last start, but that he's capable of pitching through it, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The Royals want to be cautious with him, but manager Matt Quatraro said the team doesn't expect him to miss more than one start. The 26-year-old southpaw was scratched from his start on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians as a precaution. The Royals activated right-hander Stephen Kolek from the 15-day injured list, and he filled in for Cameron on Tuesday. As long as his back tightness doesn't persist, all signs point to him making his next start at some point this weekend versus the division-rival Detroit Tigers. The former seventh-rounder in 2021 out of Central Arkansas has not been very sharp so far in 2026, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 28:11 K:BB in 31 2/3 innings across six starts in his second year in the majors. We would not recommend Cameron as a fantasy streamer if he pitches against the Tigers this weekend.--Keith Hernandez

The muscle behind Si Woo Kim's golf game flourished this past week in Miami, as he led the field in strokes gained around the green (1.19) and ranked fifth in strokes gained on approach (1.40). It's certainly quite the recipe to be a top-five long iron player at a course that forces many players to hit a ton of them, but also be able to get up and down from anywhere if needed, much like what is on deck this week at Quail Hollow. Over 40% of approaches in last year's PGA Championship--where Kim finished T8--came from over 200 yards. There doesn't seem to be anything that could stand in his way this week, outside of the always turbulent putter. Nonetheless, he's one of the more intriguing DFS plays of the week, but beware of outrageous ownership. --Todd McGill

The San Diego Padres placed second baseman Jake Cronenworth (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Tuesday and recalled infielder Sung-Mun Song from the minors in a corresponding move, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The 32-year-old Cronenworth will miss at least the next week of action due to a head injury, giving Song his first real opportunity in the majors. Song, a South Korean native, is making the start at the keystone for the Friars on Tuesday and is batting ninth against San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb. It's been a rough year for Cronenworth, who is hitting .144/.272/.196 with one home run, four RBI, 13 runs scored, a stolen base, 14 walks, and 23 strikeouts across 114 plate appearances and 32 games in his seventh year in the majors. He's been even worse at the plate recently and could use a mental break. He's now rostered in less than 10% of Yahoo leagues. Song, who hits from the left side, could handle the strong side of a platoon at second with Fernando Tatis Jr. for however long Cronenworth is sidelined.--Keith Hernandez

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that "all things are pointing toward" right-hander Sonny Gray (hamstring) coming off the 15-day injured list to make the start in Wednesday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Gray has been sidelined since April 21 with a hamstring strain. The 36-year-old veteran hurler won't be an ideal fantasy starter in his first game back in a tough matchup against Detroit, and because he will be returning to the big-league starting rotation without making a minor-league rehab start. In his first five starts in his first year with the Red Sox before tweaking his hamstring, Gray has gone 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA (4.49 FIP), 1.30 WHIP, and 13:5 K:BB in 23 innings pitched. The veteran pitcher isn't dominant and saw a noticeable dip in velocity in 2025, but his arsenal is diverse enough to still get big-league hitters out. Gray is more of a back-end, matchup-based fantasy starter, and he's currently rostered in 88% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) is starting in left field and batting cleanup for Tuesday's contest against the hosting Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby at T-Mobile Park, according to MLB.com. Harris has been battling a quadriceps injury for the last week, and it has kept him out of the lineup for the last two games. Despite the less-than-ideal matchup in his return to action, the 25-year-old left-handed hitter should be returned to starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues. Harris has been especially hot of late at the plate and is slashing .318/.351/.551 with a .902 OPS, seven home runs, 22 RBI, 13 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 114 plate appearances and 33 games this year. Since April 19, he has gone 17-for-41 (.415) with four homers, three doubles, 14 RBI, and six runs scored across 14 games. He will be searching for his first career hit against Kirby on Tuesday night, although he's only had five at-bats against him.--Keith Hernandez

The Houston Astros scratched infielder Carlos Correa (ankle) from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers due to a left-ankle injury, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Nick Allen was activated from the 10-day injured list and made the start at the 6 for Houston, with Braden Shewmake starting at third base against Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Correa injured his ankle during batting practice before the game. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day before checking to see if he's available for Wednesday's series finale against L.A. The Astros are already short-handed at the 6 with Jeremy Pena (hamstring) on the IL, so they can ill-afford a long-term injury to Correa. In his first full season back in Houston, Correa has handled himself nicely at the plate so far, as he came into Tuesday's game batting .279 (34-for-122) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored, and a stolen base across 32 games played.--Keith Hernandez

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) exited Tuesday's Game 1 against Detroit after the first quarter and is questionable to return. He logged nearly seven minutes before heading to the locker room with a member of the medical staff, finishing with one assist and one turnover. Merrill's fantasy impact is mostly tied to threes, so his absence would matter more for Cleveland's bench spacing than usage. Max Strus and Dennis Schroder could pick up extra minutes, while Donovan Mitchell and James Harden should continue driving the offense.--Brian Dailisan

It was a quiet week on the greens for Sam Burns at Doral, as gaining at least four strokes putting seems to be the only way he can find himself on the first page of leaderboards, despite having decent ball-striking metrics. He'll have a chance to rectify his flat stick woes this week in Charlotte, where he has finished inside the top-20 in his last two events played at Quail Hollow. The former LSU Tiger has all the length needed, but the real concern lies with his long iron play, as he is middle of the pack in terms of strokes gained per shot from 200 yards or more (-0.002). However, that hasn't prevented him from scoring at other venues similar in approach lengths. Burns has shown comfort on these greens in the past, so look for last week's struggle to be a blip on the radar.--Todd McGill

After going wire-to-wire last week at Doral, all eyes are on Cameron Young as we approach the year's second major. First up, however, is this week's Truist Championship at Quail Hollow. It's one of the more coveted layouts on the PGA Tour, but not one that has particularly jived with the reigning Players Champion thus far. In three events, including a major, the 28-year-old's best finish is a T34. However, it's easy to see that the current state of his game isn't even in the same galaxy as prior seasons. He's the fifth-ranked player on tour in strokes gained from tee to green (1.366) this season, which is attributed more to the superb ball striking than anything he does around the green. He obviously isn't very gassed from his time at Doral, so there's no reason to think he won't be ready to jump back in the mix again this week.--Todd McGill

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Kirby Yates (knee) has been activated from the 15-day Injured List on Tuesday. Yates has been sidelined all season long due to left knee inflammation. The expectation is that Yates will immediately slide into a high-leverage role in the Halos bullpen. If he pitches well, it shouldn't take long for Yates to possibly claim the closer role. The Angels are looking for a long-term solution, and Yates is the most experienced arm in that bullpen. He could be worth an add in deep leagues where reliable save options are hard to come by.--Andy Webb

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) is making a rehab start with High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday. When asked about the situation, Yankees manager Aaron Boone mentioned that Cole is still a "little ways away" from making his season debut. The right-hander is working his way back from Tommy John surgery that he underwent last March. His outing on Tuesday will be his fourth rehab assignment of the year. The Yankees are clearly being extremely cautious with their ace starter. It seems possible that Cole could make another start or two before returning to the Yankees. The expectation is that Cole should be ready to rejoin the team by the end of May.--Andy Webb

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against San Antonio after returning from a two-game absence Monday. He came off the bench in Game 1 and produced 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block in 25 minutes. If active, Edwards could remain on a minutes restriction, which keeps some DFS risk attached despite his high-usage role. Terrence Shannon Jr. could lose minutes if Edwards ramps up, while Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels should remain steady scoring options.--Brian Dailisan
