Mike Evans TB WR
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Clears up cap space
4h agoEvans agreed Wednesday to restructure his contract, converting part of his base salary into a bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Evans' restructured deal will allow Tampa Bay greater room to maneuver as the team continues to work through free agency and prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft. Coming off his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season, and with teammate Chris Godwin (knee - ACL) having re-signed with the Buccaneers, Evans is primed to run things back with quarterback Baker Mayfield in a familiar -- and ideal -- situation. Evans will turn 32 less than a month before the 2025 regular season kicks off, in what will be a contract year. He's yet to show any signs of slowing down and remains positioned as Mayfield's go-to receiving option, though former offensive coordinator Liam Cohen's departure to take on the Jaguars' head coaching position is notable. Replacing Cohen via the internal promotion of last year's pass-game coordinator, Josh Grizzard, still gives the Buccaneers' offense some amount of continuity at even the coordinator spot.

Sam Ehlinger DEN QB
Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Gets one-year deal with Denver
6h agoThe Broncos signed Ehlinger to a one-year contract Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Ehlinger, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in Indianapolis, didn't see action in a single game in 2024, though he did operate as the team's emergency third quarterback on multiple occasions. He'll now compete to carve out a reserve role behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham in Denver.

Jake Moody SF K
49ers' Jake Moody: Will face competition
7h agoCoach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that the 49ers intend to bring in a veteran kicker "who's capable of taking that job" to compete with Moody this offseason, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Shanahan communicated a belief that competition could bring out the best in Moody going forward, saying "if he can overcome that, and beat out a capable guy, that'll show us he's ready for the season." A 2023 third-round pick, Moody's struggles in 2024 can be attributed in part to a high-ankle sprain, which forced him to miss three contests and could have continued to impact his performance upon return to the field. He converted just 71 percent of his field goals across 14 regular-season appearances, and made only four of nine field-goal attempts from 50+ yards out.

Rashee Rice KC WR
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: On track for training camp
7h agoCoach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Rice (knee) is "on track to be ready" for training camp in July, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Rice's recovery from right knee surgery to address a season-ending injury sustained Week 4 continues to proceed well. All signs point to the 2023 second-round pick reaching full health well ahead of the start of the 2025 regular season, though he could still face a potential suspension related to his involvement in a hit-and-run car crash that occurred last March. In the three games he played fully last season, Rice emerged as Kansas City's clear top receiving option, racking up 24 catches for 288 yards and two scores. It will be interesting to see what role Rice now finds himself in, with Travis Kelce returning for a 13th season, Xavier Worthy heading into Year 2, and Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster both having re-signed with the Chiefs.

Calais Campbell MIA DE
Cardinals' Calais Campbell: Returning to Arizona
1d agoCampbell agreed to a one-year deal with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Campbell, who turns 39 in September, started all 17 regular-season games for the Dolphins last season en route to recording 52 tackles and 5.0 sacks. In his return to the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft, Campbell will add valuable depth and experience to Arizona's defensive line this coming season. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Campbell's deal is for $5.5 million and has a maximum value of $7.5 million.

Justin Hardee TEN DB
Titans' Justin Hardee: Re-signs with Tennessee
1d agoThe Titans re-signed Hardee to a one-year contract Tuesday.
Hardee suited up for nine regular-season games with Tennessee in 2024, playing exclusively on special teams. He figures to fill a similar role during the 2025 campaign. Hardee has played just two defensive snaps over the last five years, while regular contributing on special teams across his 63 combined regular-season appearances between the Saints, Jets and Titans.

Austin Gomber COL SP
Rockies' Austin Gomber: Scratched from rehab start
5m agoGomber was scratched from his scheduled rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Gomber began the season on the 15-day IL due to left shoulder soreness, so the fact that he's now dealing with inflammation in that area is a bit concerning. He'll presumably be re-evaluated to see if he suffered any structural damage after making his first rehab outing Friday, and it now seems unlikely that the 31-year-old southpaw will be able to return to Colorado after a minimum-length stay on the injured list.

Nate Lowe WAS 1B
Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Punched out three times Wednesday
34m agoLowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and three strikeouts in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Lowe struck out in each of his first three plate appearances (twice looking), but he didn't leave Wednesday's game empty handed after driving a double to right field in the ninth inning to bring James Wood across home plate. Lowe has gone 7-for-23 with two home runs and six RBI in the first six games of the season, though he's struck out 13 times across 25 plate appearances.

C.J. Abrams WAS SS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Smacks solo homer Wednesday
38m agoAbrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Toronto.
Abrams got the Nationals on the board in the sixth inning, when he took Brendon Little deep for a 386-foot solo homer to right field. Abrams had a productive series in Toronto despite Washington being swept, with the 24-year-old shortstop going 5-for-12 with two doubles, three runs, two home runs and three RBI. The Nationals have an off-day Thursday before starting a three-game home series against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Ivan Herrera STL C
Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Makes history in Wednesday's win
44m agoHerrera went 3-for-4 with a walk, three home runs and six RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Angels.
The 24-year-old took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the fourth and sixth innings before capping his huge performance with an eight-inning blast off Brock Burke. In the process, Herrera became the first catcher in Cardinals history with a three-homer game. The long balls were also the first of the season for Herrera, and through five appearances so far in 2025 he's batting .467 (7-for-15) with two doubles, five runs and eight RBI.

Sonny Gray STL SP
Cardinals' Sonny Gray: Fans nine in no-decision
1h agoGray didn't factor into the decision Wednesday, coughing up five runs on five hits over six-plus innings in a 12-5 win over the Angels. He struck out nine without walking a batter.
The veteran right-hander tossed 61 of 88 pitches for strikes, but he eventually got punished for living in the strike zone as Logan O'Hoppe slugged a grand slam off Gray before he could record an out in the top of the seventh inning. The Cardinals' offense quickly took him off the hook for the loss, however. Gray has a 15:2 K:BB through his first 11 innings this season, but that comes with a 5.73 ERA thanks to three homers allowed. He lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road early next week in Pittsburgh.

Tony Gonsolin LAD SP
Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Starting rehab assignment Thursday
1h agoGonsolin (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Alex reports.
Gonsolin began the season on the injured list due to a back injury he suffered in mid-March, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to begin his rehab assignment in Triple-A and is expected to pitch two innings Thursday. Gonsolin went 8-5 across 20 regular-season starts for the Dodgers in 2024 and posted a 4.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 82:40 K:BB across 103 innings.

Christian Braun DEN SF
Nuggets' Christian Braun: No-go Wednesday
4m agoBraun (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Braun and the rest of the Nuggets' starting lineup will get the night off Wednesday. It'll be the 23-year-old guard's third absence of the campaign. Look for Russell Westbrook, Jalen Pickett and Trey Alexander to see most of the backcourt minutes. Braun's next chance to play will come Friday at Golden State
-
Jamal Murray DEN PG
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Won't play Wednesday
4m agoMurray (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
The Nuggets will rest their entire starting lineup for this matchup against the Spurs, which makes sense considering the schedule they have in the coming days. The absence of Murray will open the door for Russell Westbrook to start at point guard. Murray's next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Friday.
-
Nikola Jokic DEN C
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Ruled out against San Antonio
7m agoJokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Jokic will not play in the second game of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Spurs. The superstar big man continues to manage an ankle injury during the final stretch of the regular season. Denver will likely Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan to pick up the slack in the frontcourt in Denver.
-
Luke Kornet BOS C
Celtics' Luke Kornet: Promoted to starting role
13m agoKornet is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
The Celtics will be shorthanded in the frontcourt due to the absences of Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), so Kornet will get the start at center. The big man is averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in his previous 12 starts this season.
-
Xavier Tillman BOS C
Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Back to bench role
15m agoTillman will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
After getting the starting nod for Monday's win against the Grizzlies, Tillman will return to the second unit for Wednesday's matchup against Miami. The 25-year-old big man hasn't made much of a fantasy impact this season while playing for the Celtics, averaging 7.2 minutes per game.
-
Sam Hauser BOS SF
Celtics' Sam Hauser: In starting five
19m agoHauser is part of the Celtics' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Hauser will fill in for Jrue Holiday (shoulder) on Wednesday, marking the 26-year-old sharpshooter's 17th start of the season. Hauser is averaging 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds across 29.5 minutes as a starter.
-
Aleksander Barkov FLA C
Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Sitting out Wednesday
20m agoBarkov (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Barkov was banged up in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens but was able to finish that contest. However, the Panthers look to be taking a cautious approach with the center since they'll likely be in the playoffs -- though Wednesday's game is important for seeding. Jonah Gadjovich is expected to enter the lineup while Anton Lundell figures to move into the top six to cover Barkov's absence.
-
Dalibor Dvorsky STL C
Blues' Dalibor Dvorsky: Sent down by St. Louis
2h agoDvorsky was assigned to AHL Springfield on Wednesday.
Dvorsky spent a week and a half with the Blues but made just one appearance, logging 10:40 of ice time while being held without a point. He should have more opportunities to contribute in the AHL late in the year, as he's recorded 20 goals, 23 assists and 20 PIM over 57 appearances with Springfield this season.
-
Martin Fehervary WAS D
Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Good to play
2h agoFehervary's nose wasn't broken when he was struck in the face by a puck during Tuesday's 4-3 win over Boston and is "fine," head coach Spencer Carbery told Tom Gulitti of NHL.com on Wednesday.
Fehervary should be good to remain in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against Carolina. He has four goals, 24 points, 125 hits and 141 blocks over 74 appearances in 2024-25.
-
Nico Sturm FLA C
Panthers' Nico Sturm: Won't play vs. Toronto
3h agoSturm (upper body) will miss Wednesday's clash against Toronto, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Sturm was injured during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal. He has seven goals, 14 points and 98 hits in 58 outings between San Jose and Florida this season. Tomas Nosek is expected to draw into the lineup.

Mattias Ekholm EDM D
Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Unlikely to play during road trip
3h agoEkholm (undisclosed) is doubtful to return during the Oilers' upcoming three-game road trip, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Ekholm has already been shelved for Edmonton's previous three contests due to his undisclosed injury and will now be unavailable for another trio of tilts. During his brief four-game return from a prior injury, the 34-year-old defender was offering decent offensive upside with six points in his last four contests.
-
Connor McDavid EDM C
Oilers' Connor McDavid: Road trip return unlikely
3h agoMcDavid (lower body), contrary to previous reports, is unlikely to suit up during the Oilers' three-game road trip, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Wednesday.
Anything is possible for McDavid, who has returned from injuries ahead of schedule in the past. Still, with the Oilers' playoff spot relatively secure, there is no reason for the team to rush its world-class center back into the lineup until he is 100 percent. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should see increased opportunities while McDavid remains on the shelf.
