Quintayvious Hutchins NE DEPatriots' Quintayvious Hutchins: Injured at rookie minicamp
15h agoHutchins (undisclosed) suffered an injury during Saturday's practice session at rookie minicamp, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Hutchins, a 2026 seventh-round pick, is competing to carve out a reserve role in New England's edge rushing corps. He will have plenty of time to heal up in advance of June minicamp activities, though the details and severity of his injury remain undisclosed. A five-year contributor at Boston College, Hutchins wrapped up his senior year in 2025 with 35 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 10 appearances.

Michael Wiley TB RBMichael Wiley: Waived with injury designation
15h agoThe Buccaneers waived Wiley (undisclosed) on Saturday with a non-football injury designation, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Wiley spent time on Tampa Bay's practice squad in 2025 and inked a reserve/future contract with the team in January, but with roster spots at a premium in order to pursue undrafted free agents in the wake of the 2026 NFL Draft, he finds himself in need of a new team. Once recovered from his undisclosed injury, Wiley will search for a chance to compete for a reserve role elsewhere. He's still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

Bo Nix DEN QBBroncos' Bo Nix: On track for minicamp
20h agoHead coach Sean Payton told reporters Saturday that Nix (ankle) will throw during mid-June minicamp and should be at full speed at training camp in July, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Nix continues to progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a broken bone in his right ankle that he underwent in late January. The initial recovery timeline was 12 weeks, but the Broncos won't push the third-year quarterback too much during June's minicamp, with Jarrett Stidham expected to take the majority of snaps at that time, though Nix should be a full go for training camp.

Jordyn Tyson NO WRSaints' Jordyn Tyson: Sits out of Saturday's practice
22h agoTyson did not participate in Saturday's rookie minicamp practice due to a "minor injury," Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Saints head coach Kellen Moore clarified that Tyson is dealing with a soft-tissue injury and that his absence Saturday was planned, per Underhill. Tyson participated in Friday's session, and there's no indication that it will impact his ability to participate in future offseason programs. The Arizona State product was the eighth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, and his addition gives the Saints a lethal one-two punch at wide receiver with Tyson working alongside Chris Olave.
-
Scott Miller PIT WRBears' Scotty Miller: Heading to Chicago
23h agoMiller and the Bears agreed to terms on a contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Miller spent the last two seasons with the Steelers after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, with a one-season stint with Atlanta sandwiched in between. He didn't see much work in the Steelers' offense, and he finished the 2025 regular season with only nine catches (on 14 targets) for 62 yards across 13 games. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden are the clear top wideouts for the Bears, so Miller will be competing for offensive snaps against Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker.
-
Sal Cannella CLE TESal Cannella: Cut loose by Cleveland
1d agoThe Browns waived Cannella on Saturday.
The move corresponds with the Browns signing undrafted free agent Michael Coats. Canella entered the NFL in 2021 but didn't make his regular-season debut until Week 17 of the 2025 campaign with the Browns. He caught two passes (on five targets) for 11 yards across two regular-season games for Cleveland last year and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January, but the Auburn product will now look for opportunities elsewhere, assuming he clears waivers.
-
Brett Sullivan COL CRockies' Brett Sullivan: Back on bench
5m agoSullivan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Sullivan will hit the bench for the series finale after he went 0-for-10 with six strikeouts over the past three games while making two starts at catcher and one at designated hitter. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Sullivan is unlikely to move into a full-time role so long as top backstop Hunter Goodman is healthy.
-
Owen Caissie MIA OFMarlins' Owen Caissie: Scratched with triceps injury
9m agoThe Marlins scratched Caissie from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals due to left triceps discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Heriberto Hernandez will enter the Marlins' starting nine as a replacement for Caissie, batting seventh while occupying left field. Though Miami has mostly shielded him from southpaws this season, the left-handed-hitting Caissie has struggled to a .198/.254/.317 slash line while striking out at a 41.2 percent clip over 114 plate appearances.
-
Richard Palacios TB LFRays' Richie Palacios: Hitting bench against lefty
16m agoPalacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The left-handed-hitting Palacios will be left out of the starting nine for the fourth straight game while the Rays face off against a fourth consecutive left-handed starting pitcher (Payton Tolle). Platoon mate Ben Williamson will replace Palacios at second base and will bat third.
-
Jake Fraley TB RFRays' Jake Fraley: Idle against lefty again
16m agoFraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The left-handed-hitting Fraley will be left out of the starting nine for the fourth straight game while the Rays face off against a fourth consecutive left-handed starting pitcher (Payton Tolle). Jonny DeLuca will cover right field for the Rays in Fraley's stead.
-
Jonathan Aranda TB 1BRays' Jonathan Aranda: Receiving afternoon off
19m agoAranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Aranda will exit the lineup for just the third time all season, with Rays manager Kevin Cash electing to give the left-handed batter the afternoon off while southpaw Payton Tolle takes the hill for Boston. Ryan Vilade will cover first base for Tampa Bay while Aranda sits.
-
Addison Barger TOR 3BBlue Jays' Addison Barger: Scratched with sore elbow
22m agoThe Blue Jays scratched Barger from the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Angels due to a sore right elbow.
Barger had been slated to bat leadoff and start in right field, but he'll end up hitting the bench while he tends to an injury to his throwing arm. Ernie Clement is now in line to serve as Toronto's table setter in the series finale, while Myles Straw was a late addition to the starting outfield. After a month-long stint on the injured list due to left and right ankle sprains, Barger was activated Saturday and went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in the Blue Jays' 14-1 victory.

Austin Reaves LAL SGLakers' Austin Reaves: Dishes nine dimes in Game 3 loss
12h agoReaves registered 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine assists and three rebounds over 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Reaves paced the Lakers' offense in the first half with 12 points and eight assists, though he was unable to maintain that level of production in the second. It's been an inconsistent postseason run for Reaves, perhaps due in part to the oblique strain that caused him to miss nine consecutive games from April 5. He'll look to help the Lakers to a Game 4 victory to extend the series.
-
Rui Hachimura LAL PFLakers' Rui Hachimura: Paces Lakers in Game 3 defeat
13h agoHachimura logged 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during the Lakers' 131-108 loss to the Thunder on Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Hachimura paced the Lakers with 16 of his team-high 21 points in the first half, though he went just 2-for-7 from the floor in the second. It was the second time in the playoffs that he connected on five three-pointers after not reaching that mark in any contest during the regular season. The Lakers enter Game 4 down 3-0 in the series, and a loss could be Hachimura's last outing with the team, as he'll enter the offseason an unrestricted free agent.
-
LeBron James LAL SFLakers' LeBron James: Tallies 19 points in Game 3 defeat
13h agoJames recorded 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
James and the Lakers' offense struggled during Saturday's loss, with the future Hall of Famer going 5-for-16 from the field through the first three quarters. He still put together a balanced stat line and finished second on the Lakers in points, assists and rebounds. The Lakers find themselves down 3-0 in the series, and a loss Monday in Game 4 would eliminate them from postseason contention. It's fair to wonder if a loss Monday would be the last time James dons a Lakers jersey, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Chet Holmgren OKC PFThunder's Chet Holmgren: Another near double-double
13h agoHolmgren logged 18 points (9-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Holmgren paced the Thunder in the first half, with 12 of his 18 points coming over the first two quarters of Saturday's game. He co-led Oklahoma City in rebounds and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Ajay Mitchell (24 points) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (23 points). Holmgren has scored at least 18 points in five of seven playoff games, and in the postseason he is averaging 19.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 threes, 2.0 blocks and 1.4 steals over 30.9 minutes per contest.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OKC SGThunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Near double-double in Game 3 win
13h agoGilgeous-Alexander logged 23 points (7-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Lakers held Gilgeous-Alexander in check for most of Saturday's game, though the reigning MVP still managed to crack the 20-point threshold and finished second on the Thunder in both points and assists behind Ajay Mitchell (24 points and 10 assists). Gilgeous-Alexander's stats in the semifinals haven't been great in comparison to the first round of the playoffs or the regular season, but that can be chalked up to the Lakers' defense homing in on the superstar guard. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will look to sweep the series in Game 4 on Monday.
-
Ajay Mitchell OKC PGThunder's Ajay Mitchell: Outstanding in Game 3 win
13h agoMitchell logged 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and three steals over 30 minutes during the Thunder's 131-108 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Saturday.
Mitchell came on strong in the second half, scoring nine points in both the third and fourth quarters to help the Thunder separate from the Lakers to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The 2024 second-rounder also led his team in assists, tying a season high that he set back in the regular season against the Kings on Nov. 7. Mitchell has started in each of the Thunder's last five games due to the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring), and in that five-game span, Mitchell has averaged 19.8 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 threes over 30.8 minutes per contest.

Jaccob Slavin CAR DHurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Chips in assist Saturday
9h agoSlavin logged an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers in Game 4.
Slavin helped out on Jackson Blake's game-winning tally in overtime. This was the first point of the playoffs for Slavin, who has added 15 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating in his usual shutdown role. The 32-year-old defenseman dealt with injuries for most of the first half of the season, but back-to-back sweeps have the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals, and he'll have time to get some rest before that series starts against an opponent that's yet to be determined.
-
Nathan MacKinnon COL CAvalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Nets lone goal in loss
9h agoMacKinnon scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
MacKinnon has scored all five of his goals this postseason over the last four games. The center got the Avalanche on the board in the second period Saturday, but the Wild shot back just 20 seconds later on a Brock Faber tally. MacKinnon has earned 11 points, a plus-6 rating, 25 shots on net, seven hits and six PIM across seven playoff contests.
-
MacKenzie Blackwood COL GAvalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Steady in relief appearance
9h agoBlackwood stopped 12 of 13 shots in relief of Scott Wedgewood in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
Blackwood put in a good performance over the better part of two periods. This was his first action this postseason after a regular season in which he had a 23-10-2 record with a 2.50 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Blackwood is in the playoffs for the second time in his career after he went 3-4 with a 2.71 GAA and an .892 save percentage over seven games in 2025. Wedgewood has been the better goalie so far, but it's not clear if Game 3 has caused head coach Jared Bednar to give Blackwood an extended look between the pipes.

Scott Wedgewood COL GAvalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets pulled in Game 3
10h agoWedgewood stopped nine of 12 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild in Game 3.
Wedgewood will end up wearing the loss for this one after getting pulled early in the second period. Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 12 of 13 shots in relief. Wedgewood is now 6-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .911 save percentage over seven playoff appearances. His strong play throughout the postseason should count for something, but it's not yet clear which direction head coach Jared Bednar will go for his goalies in Monday's Game 4.
-
Mats Zuccarello MIN RWWild's Mats Zuccarello: Dishes pair of power-play helpers
10h agoZuccarello recorded two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Zuccarello has yet to be held off the scoresheet in his six playoff games this year. He's earned two goals and seven helpers, as well as 13 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating so far. The 38-year-old winger is likely to continue being a strong playmaker in a top-six role and on the power play.
-
Ryan Hartman MIN RWWild's Ryan Hartman: Strikes on power play in win
10h agoHartman scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Hartman got a tip on a deflected shot to pot the Wild's third goal of the contest. The 31-year-old forward has contributed two goals and an assist over three contests against the Avalanche in the second round. He's at three goals, four helpers, 29 shots on net, 17 hits, nine blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over nine playoff outings. Hartman provides solid two-way play, though the penalties could ultimately come back to bite the Wild down the line.
