  • Allen Robinson PIT WR
    Giants' Allen Robinson: Seeking rebound with Big Blue
    1h ago

    Robinson signed a contract with the Giants on Thursday, ESPN.com reports.

    Robinson was cut by the Steelers earlier this offseason in a move to save salary cap space, and he now gets an opportunity to reignite his career in New York, where there's a need for a big-bodied target for Daniel Jones (knee) while Darren Waller's future remains in flux. Malik Nabers, taken sixth overall in April's draft, figures to dominate the Giants' wide receiver opportunities out of the gate, while Darius Slayton (thumb) and Wan'Dale Robinson seem likely to also start in three-wide sets. Robinson racked up just 34 catches for 280 yards on 49 targets with Pittsburgh last season, despite suiting up for all 17 games, so he's no lock to beat out Jalin Hyatt for the No. 4 role this offseason.

    Bills' Zach Davidson: Battling for depth role
    12h ago

    Davidson (undisclosed) is competing for one of the Bills' final roster spots at tight end this offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Davidson missed the entire 2023 campaign after the Bills placed him on injured reserve last June. The nature of the 25-year-old's injury was never disclosed, though he looks to be past the issue now that he's being viewed as a candidate for a depth role at tight end. Davidson's primary competition for slotting behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox should come from Tre' McKitty and Quintin Morris.

    Ravens' Andrew Vorhees: Participating in rookie minicamp
    12h ago

    Vorhees (knee) was an active participant in the Ravens' rookie minicamp last Friday through Monday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

    Vorhees missed his entire rookie season after suffering a torn ACL during the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. While he has yet to participate in any padded sessions, the 25-year-old appears to be back to full health for this year's rookie minicamp. Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh also said that Vorhees will compete for a starting job at guard during training camp.

  • Chevan Cordeiro SJST QB
    Chevan Cordeiro: Let go by Seattle
    13h ago

    The Seahawks waived Cordeiro on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Cordeiro landed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent Friday, but his stint with the organization proved to be short lived. The 24-year-old quarterback out of San Jose State would have likely competed for a spot on the Seahawks' practice squad this offseason, but he'll now look to latch on elsewhere before NFL training camps get underway this summer.

    Browns' Nyheim Hines: Plans to be ready for camp
    18h ago

    Hines (knee) said Tuesday he expects to be available for the start of training camp, Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland reports.

    Hines underwent surgery to repair his left ACL last August, then was released by the Bills in March after missing the entire 2023 season. Assuming he's indeed healthy by the start of training camp, Hines should compete for third-down snaps in the backfield and return work on special teams. With Nick Chubb working his way back from a serious knee injury of his own and no lock to be ready for Week 1, Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman are likely to operate as Cleveland's top backs to begin training camp.

    Steelers' Scott Miller: Lands in Pittsburgh
    19h ago

    Miller agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Miller reunites with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Pittsburgh, after he logged a 11-161-2 receiving line across 17 appearances in 2023 in Atlanta, where Smith had served as the head coach. The wideout now gets a chance to compete with names like Quez Watkins, Denzel Mims, Marquez Callaway and Dez Fitzpatrick for a depth role with the Steelers this offseason.

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Hitting bench Thursday
    1m ago

    Moore is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Moore has taken over as the Mariners' primary option at shortstop since J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 25, but he'll cede his spot in the field to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale in Minnesota. During Crawford's absence, Moore has batted just .184, though five of his seven hits over his last 13 games have gone for extra bases.

    Mariners' Ty France: Not in Thursday's lineup
    4m ago

    France is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota.

    France is just 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts over his last three games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Luke Raley is making just his third start of the season at first base, and Josh Rojas will be making his third start of the year out in left field.

    Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk Wednesday against the Rays.

    Vaughn collected multiple hits for the first time in his last seven starts, during which he's gone just for 5-for-25 with two doubles. He's gotten off to a slow start to the season overall by hitting .192 across 142 plate appearances and also has an inflated 26.1 percent strikeout rate.

    Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Sim game on tap
    19m ago

    Newcomb (knee) is slated to throw a simulated game Friday at the Athletics' minor-league complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

    The veteran left-hander has yet to pitch this season due to knee irritation, but he's been in a throwing progression since the latter portion of April and appears set for the next step. If the sim game goes well Friday, Newcomb could potentially soon progress to what would project to be a fairly lengthy rehab assignment due to how long he's been sidelined.

  • Elias Diaz COL C
    Rockies' Elias Diaz: Two-run blast in loss
    20m ago

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

    Diaz drove in Colorado's third run of the game with an infield single in the bottom of the fifth and later added a two-run shot in the ninth to bring his team back within two runs of the Giants, though his effort would fall short. It marked the catcher's third multi-hit game already this month and he's now hit safely in five of his last six contests. The home run was only Diaz's third of the season, though he's now batting .348 in May with four RBI and three extra-base hits.

    Giants' Michael Conforto: Homer, three hits in win
    26m ago

    Conforto went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

    Conforto jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Peter Lambert to lead off the second inning and crushed it over the wall in right field to open a six-run rally for San Francisco. The outfielder would later add a single in that very same inning before finishing the contest third three-hit performance of the season. Conforto has now hit safely in four of his last five games, while the home run was his first since April 22. He's batting .269 in May with three RBI and three runs scored and has also drawn a walk in three straight.

  • Miles McBride NY PG
    Knicks' Miles McBride: Passive performance Wednesday
    10h ago

    McBride amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    McBride managed just four points in the win, struggling to find any real rhythm on the offensive end. Although his role has been somewhat limited to this point, OG Anunoby (hamstring) going down could open up an interesting opportunity. Should Anunoby be forced to miss time, look for McBride to potentially slide into the starting lineup for Game 3.

    Knicks' Alec Burks: Cracks rotation Wednesday
    10h ago

    Burks closed Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with zero points (0-1 FG) in one minute.

    Burks dusted himself off Wednesday, leaving the bench for the first time this postseason. Jalen Brunson was forced to the locker room during the second quarter, affording one minute of playing time to Burks. Given Brunson was able to return to the game, it is unlikely we see Burks again anytime soon.

  • Isaiah Hartenstein NY C
    Knicks' Isaiah Hartenstein: Flirts with triple-double in win
    10h ago

    Hartenstein contributed 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Hartenstein continues to impress for the Knicks, falling two assists short of a triple-double. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) likely out for the remainder of the postseason, Hartenstein should be in line for heavy minutes moving forward. It's been a breakout season for Hartenstein, one that should have him well-placed to receive a sizeable upgrade when it comes time to discuss his future contract.

    Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Drains three triples Wednesday

    Sheppard chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and one assist over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Sheppard continues to play meaningful minutes for the Pacers, connecting on three triples en route to 11 points. While the Pacers ended with six players logging double-digit scoring, it was still not enough to get over the hump in front of a vocal New York crowd. Sheppard should continue to serve as a three-point threat off the bench.

    Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Leads all scorers in loss
    10h ago

    Haliburton totaled 34 points (11-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Haliburton finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, putting up a game-high 34 points, including seven triples. Although the Pacers managed to put up a respectable total, their defense simply wasn't up to the task of slowing down the Knicks. With the series now shifting to Indiana, Haliburton will look to build on this performance in the hopes of keeping the series alive.

    Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Quiet again Wednesday

    Nesmith totaled six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Nesmith managed just six points in the loss, continuing his disappointing postseason. While he does provide the Pacers with a reliable defensive asset, his inability to score on a consistent basis remains a concern. The series will now head to Indiana, where the Pacers will look to secure their first win.

    Zadorov logged a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Zadorov scored the tying goal 13:47 into the third period, beating Stuart Skinner with a one-timed slapshot, before adding an assist less than a minute later on Conor Garland's game-winner. The 29-year-old Zadrov's been productive in the playoffs, tallying three goals and five points in seven games despite skating on Vancouver's third pairing. He totaled six goals and 20 points in 65 regular-season contests between the Canucks and Flames.

    Lindholm set up Dakota Joshua's tally 53 seconds into the first period before adding a goal later in the frame, flipping a backhander past Stuart Skinner to cut the deficit to 4-2. It's the second multi-point game of the postseason for Lindholm, who now has three goals and five points in seven contests. He totaled 15 goals and 44 points in 75 regular-season games between Vancouver and Calgary.

    Hyman scored a pair of goals in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

    Hyman opened the scoring with a power-play marker 2:11 into the first period before extending Edmonton's lead to 4-1 with another tally in the second, sliding a wrister under the pad of Arturs Silovs. Hyman's picked up where he left off in the regular season -- he's scored at least one goal in five of his six playoff games, totaling nine goals and 10 points.

    Joshua got Vancouver on the board in the opening minute of the second period, beating Stuart Skinner off a rebound, before adding a pair of assists later in the contest. The goal was Joshua's first since he scored a pair in the opening game of Round 1 against Nashville. The 27-year-old winger now has three goals and seven points through seven games in the playoffs after tallying a career-high 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) in 63 regular-season contests.

    Bruins' Patrick Brown: Sent down to minors

    Brown was reassigned to AHL Providence on Thursday.

    While Brown could technically be added to the roster ahead of Game 3 versus the Panthers on Friday, he seems more likely to suit up for Providence in their Calder Cup matchup with AHL Hartford on Friday. Still, the veteran center did log 8:27 of ice time in Game 1 and could see a couple more opportunities with the Bruins during the best-of-seven series.

    Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Hangs on in comeback win
    28m ago

    Silovs stopped 14 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Oilers in Game 1.

    It was a rough start to the game for Silovs, who allowed four goals on Edmonton's first 14 shots. However, the Oilers mustered only eight shots over the final two frames as the Canucks rallied with four unanswered goals to claim a 5-4 series-opening win. Silovs has won three of four starts in the postseason, posting a .908 save percentage. However, Casey DeSmith seems likely to start Game 2 on Friday after he was healthy enough to back up Silovs on Wednesday.
