Terrion Arnold DET CBTerrion Arnold: Let go by Detroit
12h agoArnold (shoulder) was cut by the Lions on Monday.
The news comes shortly after an Associated Press report that a Florida judge has set a $1 million bail in connection to Arnold's ongoing felony trial for charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. Arnold is unlikely to resume his NFL career until his legal proceedings conclude.

Omar Cooper Jr. NYJ WRJets' Omar Cooper: Solidifying spot in three-wide sets
18h agoCooper was the Jets' most impressive rookie in spring practices and looks to have solidified his spot in three-receiver sets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The Jets traded up into the first round to draft Cooper 30th overall. The versatile rookie out of Indiana played both on the outside and in the slot in college, which should help Cooper get on the field consistently alongside Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. Per Geoffrey A. Knox of USA Today Jets Wire, Mitchell and slot receiver option Isaiah Williams were two of the Jets' top performers during the offseason program, so Cooper will need to continue building on his strong spring to secure playing time. That being said, Cimini expects Cooper's physical playing style to help the rookie shine even more once the pads come on in training camp.

Kenyon Sadiq NYJ TEJets' Kenyon Sadiq: Expected to be ready for camp
19h agoSadiq (abdomen) is expected to be ready for training camp, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Sadiq missed OTAs and minicamp due to hernia surgery, which stemmed from a college injury that the Jets said they were aware of when they drafted Sadiq with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq will have to play catch-up once healthy, but offensive coordinator Frank Reich has a plan for getting the athletic tight end up to speed. Reich views Sadiq as a mismatch for defenders due to the rookie's mix of speed (4.39-second 40-yard dash) and size (6-foot-3, 241 pounds).

Carnell Tate TEN WRTitans' Carnell Tate: Looked polished at OTAs
19h agoTate impressed with his route running and catching ability at OTAs, and teammate Alontae Taylor described the rookie fourth overall pick as "polished," Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Tate has looked NFL-ready early on, suggesting the rookie wide receiver out of Ohio State won't face a steep learning curve as he adjusts to playing at the professional level. He could quickly emerge as the top receiving option for the Titans, who didn't have a player exceed 560 receiving yards during the 2025 regular season. Tate is building chemistry with 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward, who threw for 3,169 yards in a rocky rookie season.

Jack Bech LV WRRaiders' Jack Bech: Could earn big role in Year 2
19h agoBech performed well during OTAs and could be a key part of Vegas' receiving corps under new head coach Klint Kubiak, Michael Canelo of SI.com reports.
Bech had just 20 catches for 224 yards across 16 regular-season games as a rookie, but the 2025 second-round pick could get more opportunities in his second season as part of an underwhelming Raiders wide receiver room that also includes Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Dont'e Thornton and Malik Benson. Canelo's colleague Jared Feinberg describes Bech as a savvy route runner, and Bech's ability to get open with crisp routes should be rewarded more than it was in his rookie year if the Raiders get better quarterback play out of newcomers Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins.

Baker Mayfield TB QBBuccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Looking for middle ground on deal
19h agoMayfield reiterated Saturday to Steve McGehee of KWTV that he wants to remain in Tampa Bay on an extension, but the quarterback added that there is still work to be done to reach a middle ground in negotiations.
"I would love to be there," Mayfield said of Tampa Bay. "I think both sides want to get it done. Now it's a matter of finding that middle ground and what makes both sides happy." He previously said that he wants a new deal before training camp opens July 27. The two sides reportedly weren't close to a deal earlier in June, and Mayfield didn't provide an update on the progress, though he made it clear that he hopes to remain with the Buccaneers long-term.

Elly De La Cruz CIN SSReds' Elly De La Cruz: Crushes homer in loss
3h agoDe La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to Milwaukee.
After twisting his ankle Sunday, De La Cruz slotted in as the designated hitter Monday and laced a two-run homer off Robert Gasser to left-center field in the fifth inning. It marked the switch hitter's first homer since returning June 23 from a right hamstring strain, with De La Cruz going just 3-for-23 (.130) across six games since re-entering the lineup. In total, the 24-year-old is slashing .267/.337/.486 with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 43 runs and 10 stolen bases across 64 appearances this season.

Joseph Ortiz MIL SSBrewers' Joey Ortiz: Blasts key homer in Monday's win
3h agoOrtiz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.
Ortiz's lone hit was a big one, as he belted a two-run homer in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 tie and give Milwaukee a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old got the start at third base, where he has split time with David Hamilton since top prospect Cooper Pratt was promoted to play shortstop June 16. Ortiz has had a limited offensive impact this season, slashing .201/.281/.266 with two homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs and five stolen bases across 69 appearances.

Trevor Megill MIL RPBrewers' Trevor Megill: Secures 11th save
3h agoMegill picked up the save Monday against the Reds. He struck out two over a perfect inning.
Megill entered in the ninth inning with a two-run lead and made quick work of the Reds, retiring the side in order to secure his 11th save of the season. The right-hander has been mostly lights out in June, posting a 1.64 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB while converting three of four save opportunities across 11 innings this month. After a shaky start to the season, Megill has righted the ship and established himself as the Brewers' top option in the ninth inning, owning an overall 3.38 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB across 32 innings.

Joshua Kuroda-Grauer ATH 2BAthletics' Joshua Kuroda-Grauer: Three hits in debut
3h agoKuroda-Grauer went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Kuroda-Grauer got the start at second base in his big-league debut, and he delivered one of the Athletics' best performances in the game. The infielder should at least get steady playing time against left-handed pitchers -- he should fill a platoon role at second base alongside Jeff McNeil at a minimum. Kuroda-Grauer could also push fellow right-handed hitters Alika Williams and Darell Hernaiz for time at shortstop until Jacob Wilson (thumb) returns. If Kuroda-Grauer can claim a decent share of playing time, there's fantasy upside to be had with his speed.
-
Colby Thomas ATH RFAthletics' Colby Thomas: Homers in Monday's loss
3h agoThomas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Thomas picked up his first multi-hit effort since May 13 versus the Cardinals. He's largely filled a platoon role at best during his time in the majors this season, but injuries are piling up for the Athletics, which has opened the door for him to get more playing time recently. The outfielder is batting just .221 with a .623 OPS, three homers, eight RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base over 82 plate appearances. Thomas will need to take advantage of his opportunities to maintain more playing time in the near future.

Esmerlyn Valdez PIT RFPirates' Esmerlyn Valdez: Making history
3h agoValdez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs Monday against the Phillies.
Valdez took Aaron Nola yard in the fourth inning to record a home run in his fourth straight game. He became the third rookie in Pirates history to homer in four consecutive contests and is the sixth player since 1900 to have a four-game home run streak within his first 16 career big-league games, per Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com. While Valdez was initially stashed on the bench upon his return to the majors in mid-June, it's difficult to envision Pittsburgh taking him out of the lineup consistently at any point in the near future.

The 24-year-old underwent surgery on his right ankle in February, and it's unclear whether he'll be available by training camp. He's a restricted free agent and can still seek a better deal elsewhere.

8h agoThe Spurs extended a qualifying offer to Ingram on Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

-
Akira Schmid LV GPanthers' Akira Schmid: Acquired by Florida
7h agoSchmid was dealt from the Golden Knights to the Panthers on Monday in exchange for a 2028 third-round pick.
Considering that the Panthers' goaltending duo of Sergei Bobrovsky and Daniil Tarasov is set to become unrestricted free agents, Schmid might have an opportunity to command a sizable role in 2026-27. It will be worth monitoring what the Panthers do with their goaltending situation when free agency begins, but Schmid could be an intriguing sleeper for fantasy managers this coming season, even if he's working in tandem with another netminder. The 26-year-old Schmid went 16-10-6 with a 2.59 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 34 regular-season games with Vegas in 2025-26. He will need a new contract as well, as he is a restricted free agent.
