Chris Hubbard TEN OT
49ers' Chris Hubbard: Lands in San Francisco
2h agoThe 49ers signed Hubbard (biceps) to a one-year, $1.38 million contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hubbard fills a need for San Francisco as a depth swing tackle. The veteran's 2023 campaign came to an early end Week 11 due to a biceps injury, from which he's now presumably recovered.

Jase McClellan ATL RB
Falcons' Jase McClellan: Still dealing with foot issue
3h agoCoach Raheem Morris said Tuesday McClellan (foot) will sit out practice due to injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Morris said McClellan and Bijan Robinson (ankle), who is also tending to an injury, are both expected to be available for mandatory minicamp, as D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. It appears that the rookie sixth-round pick is still nursing the foot injury that kept him from working out at either the NFL Combine or Alabama's Pro Day, but the Falcons appear to expect him to be ready for practice sooner rather than later. McClellan will need all the reps he can get for any chance of carving out a notable role behind both Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.

Chase Claypool BUF WR
Bills' Chase Claypool: New competition in WR room
3h agoClaypool will have more competition to land a roster spot after the Bills signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year deal Tuesday.
The Bills seem to be taking an approach of signing as many journeymen that have previously shown upside as they can this offseason, with a plan of seeing who can stick to join a room with highly touted rookie Keon Coleman and third-year man Khalil Shakir. For now, it looks like MVS, Claypool, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins (among others) will duke it out for positioning and even a roster spot after holding a firmer grasp on jobs earlier in their careers.

Bijan Robinson ATL RB
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Tending to ankle injury
3h agoCoach Raheem Morris said Robinson will not participate in Tuesday's OTA practice due to an ankle injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Morris said that Robinson is expected to be on the field for Atlanta's mandatory minicamp, as is rookie Jase McClellan (foot), who is also currently sidelined. The insinuation that Robinson's injury is only a minor issue is a relief, but the situation will still warrant monitoring until such time as the star running back is officially back on the field. Robinson could be primed for a Year 2 breakout with the arrival of Kirk Cousins (Achilles) promising an improved Falcons offense, but for the rest of OTAs, Tyler Allgeier could get a chance to handle the top backfield reps.

Jake Fromm WAS QB
Jake Fromm: Let go by Washington
4h agoThe Commanders released Fromm on Tuesday.
Fromm spent the entire 2023 season on Washington's practice squad, but he'll now need to search for a chance to compete elsewhere. The 2020 fifth-round pick hasn't played snaps on an NFL field since 2021.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling KC WR
Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Gets one-year deal in Buffalo
5h agoThe Bills are slated to sign Valdes-Scantling to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Valdes-Scantling was released by the Chiefs back in February, and he now lands with another AFC powerhouse. Buffalo's revamped wide receiver corps, which lost Stefon Diggs via trade and Gabe Davis to free agency, could use a deep threat to complement Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and rookie second-round pick Keon Coleman. Working as the No. 4 man on the depth chart could be an ideal situation for Valdes-Scantling to contribute, though if utilized only as a situation downfield target, he's more likely to slightly raise Josh Allen's ceiling than carry standalone value. Across 16 regular-season games last year, the 29-year-old compiled a career-low 21-315-1 receiving line.

Dane Dunning TEX SP
Rangers' Dane Dunning: Completes bullpen session
2m agoDunning (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Dunning is progressing well after straining his rotator cuff, having tossed his first bullpen session since being placed on the 15-day IL on May 8. His injured list designation was retroactive to May 5, meaning he could be eligible for reinstatement as soon as next Monday. However, he'll have to make it through the rest of his rehab without setbacks for an immediate return to be a possibility.
-
Jake Burger MIA 3B
Marlins' Jake Burger: Taking seat Tuesday
11m agoBurger is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.
Burger has had trouble finding his rhythm since returning from the injured list, going just 2-for-29 at the plate. He'll get a day off to reset. Tristan Gray will handle third base in Burger's stead.
-
Alex Kirilloff MIN LF
Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Absent from lineup
22m agoKirilloff is not in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Yankees.
Kirilloff will begin this one on the bench as the Yankees send lefty Carlos Rodon to the hill. Austin Martin is getting the start in left field.
-
Trevor Larnach MIN DH
Twins' Trevor Larnach: Out against left-hander
24m agoLarnach is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.
Larnach hasn't started a game against a lefty this season and that streak will continue as the Yankees turn to southpaw Carlos Rodon on Tuesday. Ryan Jeffers will be the designated hitter while Christian Vazquez does the catching.
-
Edouard Julien MIN 2B
Twins' Edouard Julien: Sitting versus southpaw
26m agoJulien is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
With left-handed Carlos Rodon toeing the slab for the Yankees, the lefty-swinging Julien will yield to Kyle Farmer at second base. Julien has made just two starts versus southpaws this season.
-
Max Kepler MIN RF
Twins' Max Kepler: Sitting out Tuesday
28m agoKepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.
The left-handed hitting Kepler is swinging a red-hot bat but will take a seat in this one with the Yankees starting southpaw Carlos Rodon. Manuel Margot will patrol right field.
-
Mike Conley MIN PG
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Late addition to injury report
2h agoConley is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets due to right Achilles soreness.
Conley is a late addition to Minnesota's injury report but was active during the morning shootaround, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. The veteran point guard has averaged 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes during the postseason, so his potential absence would be a big blow in a critical road matchup. If Conley is downgraded to out, Monte Morris, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased playing time.
-
Kyrie Irving DAL PG
Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Another dreadful showing
4h agoIrving posted nine points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and nine assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Mavericks have welcomed the emergence of P.J. Washington in the series against the Thunder, as Kyrie Irving has struggled badly so far. He's failed to score in double digits in two of four games versus OKC and is shooting a mere 35.7 percent from three-point range. Irving needs to take on a bigger role on offense if the Mavericks want to move to the Western Conference Finals, especially considering how banged up Luka Doncic is.
-
Luka Doncic DAL PG
Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Posts triple-double Monday
4h agoDoncic provided 18 points (6-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
On the surface, Doncic's final stat line looks good, as he posted his second triple-double of the postseason and made his presence felt on the defensive end. However, the star guard is battling with several injuries, and he looked a step slow in some sequences and was extremely inefficient with his shot. Doncic is averaging 22.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in the series against the Thunder, and the decrease in the scoring column is directly tied to the fact he's shooting a mere 39 percent from the floor. He'll aim to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday.

PJ Washington DAL PF
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Keeps scoring run alive
5h agoWashington accumulated 21 points (7-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 41 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Mavericks failed to protect their home court and had to settle for a tough loss in Game 4, but one of the few positives in Monday's loss was that Washington continues to perform well even when he commands more attention from the opposing defenses. Washington has been Dallas' second-best player in this series, reaching the 20-point mark in three straight appearances and recording two double-doubles. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

Chet Holmgren OKC C
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Nears double-double with four swats
5h agoHolmgren ended Monday's 100-96 win over Dallas in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 18 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 40 minutes.
Holmgren stepped his game up on a night where Jalen Williams struggled with his shot, and the star rookie made his presence felt on both ends of the court, showing efficiency in his touch near the rim and being his usual disruptive self on the defensive end. Holmgren is averaging 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.3 blocks per game in the series against Dallas. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in OKC.
-
Jalen Williams OKC SF
Thunder's Jalen Williams: Struggles from field in Game 4
5h agoWilliams totaled 14 points (5-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and four steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 100-96 win over the Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Williams didn't have his best shooting performance, and his numbers regressed a bit compared to what he'd been doing in the previous contests, but his role as the Thunder's second-best offensive weapon is firmly established ahead of Chet Holmgren, which should give him an excellent floor in most DFS slates. Williams is averaging 19.1 points per game in eight playoff contests thus far, but it's worth noting this was his lowest-scoring performance of the postseason.
-
Roope Hintz DAL LW
Stars' Roope Hintz: Undergoing testing
1h agoHintz (upper body) is still being evaluated ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against Colorado, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.
Hintz didn't return to Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 after blocking a shot late in the first period. He has generated two goals, four assists, 13 shots on net and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. If Hintz isn't available to play in Game 5, Radek Faksa or Ty Dellandrea could suit up in Wednesday's contest versus Colorado.
-
Phillip Di Giuseppe VAN LW
Canucks' Phil Di Giuseppe: Not playing in Game 4
1h agoDi Giuseppe (personal) won't play Tuesday in Game 4 versus Edmonton, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Di Giuseppe, who will miss his second straight contest, is expected to rejoin the team at Wednesday's practice. He has registered one assist, two shots on goal and 26 hits in eight outings this postseason. Once he is available to return, Di Giuseppe may replace Linus Karlsson or Nils Alman in the lineup.
-
Devon Toews COL D
Avalanche's Devon Toews: Traveling with team
1h agoToews (illness) will make the trip to Dallas ahead of Wednesday's must-win Game 5 versus the Stars, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
Toews missed Monday's Game 4 due to an illness, but he's reportedly feeling better Tuesday, making it seem likely he'll return for Wednesday's must-win contest. The 30-year-old defender has collected one goal and six points through eight games this postseason.
-
Arturs Silovs VAN G
Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Making seventh straight start
1h agoSilovs will patrol the road crease versus Edmonton in Game 5 on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Silovs was excellent in Game 4 on Sunday, turning aside 42 of a whopping 45 shots en route to a 4-3 victory. The Oilers appear set to split stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl between two lines Tuesday, so while Edmonton's first line won't be quite as intimidating, Silovs will presumably face a more balanced attack from the team in Game 5.
-
Adam Henrique EDM C
Oilers' Adam Henrique: Won't play Tuesday
2h agoHenrique (ankle) won't play Tuesday in Game 4 against the Canucks, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Henrique will miss his second straight contest. He has picked up one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six outings this postseason. The 34-year-old forward had 24 goals and 51 points in 82 appearances between the Oilers and Ducks during the 2023-24 regular season.
-
Chris Kreider NYR LW
Rangers' Chris Kreider: Minus-3 in loss
3h agoKreider was on the ice for three goals against in Monday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 5.
It was a forgettable night for Kreider as he failed to register a point and went minus-3 in the contest. No other player on New York was on the ice for more than two goals against in Monday's loss. After starting the postseason with points in six of seven games, Kreider has now failed to find the scoresheet in consecutive games. The 33-year-old did have two shots on goal and four hits in 18:51 of ice time. Kreider and the Rangers will have another chance to eliminate the Hurricanes in Game 6 on Thursday.
