Daniel Jones IND QBColts' Daniel Jones: Team optimistic about Week 1
3h agoColts general manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Jones (Achilles) is progressing well and added that the club is shooting for the QB to be ready to play by Week 1 of the upcoming season, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
Palmer notes that the Colts aren't putting a timeline on Jones' return to game action, but Ballard's comments indicate that the signal-caller could be ready from the outset of the campaign. Ballard said that Jones is currently throwing and moving and is in a "really good spot," echoing the viewpoint the QB shared on The Pat McAfee Show in mid-March. Indianapolis placed the transition tag on Jones in early March before signing him to a two-year deal less than two weeks later, making it clear that the organization views him as a central part of the team's future.

Brycen Tremayne CAR WRPanthers' Brycen Tremayne: Signs tender with Panthers
5h agoTremayne inked his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Carolina on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Tremayne will officially return to Carolina for at least another season after being tendered by the club in early March. The 26-year-old was a regular part of the offense for the first time as a pro last year, tallying 14 catches for 160 yards over 262 offensive snaps spanning 16 regular-season games. He also played regularly on special teams and likely will retain the same role as a depth wideout and special-teamer during the upcoming season.

Jalen Coker CAR WRPanthers' Jalen Coker: Inks ERFA tender
5h agoCoker signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Coker was tendered by Carolina in early March and made his return to the team official Monday. The 24-year-old posted a 33-394-3 receiving line over 11 regular-season contests last year, nearly replicating his stats from his rookie 2024 campaign. However, Coker exploded for a 9-134-1 line in the Panthers' wild-card round loss to the Rams, and he could take another step forward as one of QB Bryce Young's top targets during the upcoming campaign.

Jamon Dumas-Johnson 2005 LBJamon Johnson: Waived by Green Bay
6h agoThe Packers waived Johnson (undisclosed) on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Johnson did not revert to a reserve list Monday, so the linebacker is officially a free agent. He made his defensive debut in 2025 during the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old played 100 percent of defensive snaps in the contest, totaling 10 tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed.

Anton Harrison JAC OTJaguars' Anton Harrison: Fifth-year option excercised
6h agoThe Jaguars picked up the fifth-year option connected to Harrison's rookie contract Monday.
Harrison has been a consistent presence at left tackle for three years, and another year of salary regulation for a key player protecting quarterback Trevor Lawrence makes a lot of sense. The 24-year-old is set to make $4.199 million in 2026 before his fifth-year option grants him $19.072 million in 2027. If Harrison's consistency remains, the Jaguars likely will pay him for future years beyond the confines of his rookie deal.

Ty Okada SEA DBSeahawks' Ty Okada: Signs tender with champs
6h agoOkada signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Okada is set to make $1.145 million over the 2026 campaign. The safety had a breakout year in 2025, starting 11 games for the Seahawks' secondary during the regular season and helping to secure the team's second Super Bowl win in franchise history. While the exclusive-rights tender locks Okada into a one-year deal, it is likely the ascending defensive back will see a much larger payday after the 2026 season concludes.

Samuel Basallo BAL COrioles' Samuel Basallo: Timely hitting in win
5m agoBasallo went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and two walks in Monday's 7-5 victory over the Royals.
Basallo came through in the clutch, tying Monday's contest with an RBI single in the ninth inning off Lucas Erceg before adding another RBI single in the 12th to give the Orioles the lead. It's been a slow start to the season for the catcher, who's slashing .167/.275/.317 through 17 games, though it's worth noting the former top prospect is just 21 years old with only 48 games of big-league experience. Adley Rutschman (ankle) is likely to return from the injured list in the near future, but Basallo should continue to see considerable playing time.
-
Leody Taveras BAL CFOrioles' Leody Taveras: Delivers clutch grand slam
14m agoTaveras went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Monday's victory over the Royals.
Tavares' lone hit was an impactful one, as he sent an elevated sinker from Alex Lange over the center-field fence for a grand slam in the 12th inning, propelling the Orioles to a thrilling victory. The center fielder has quietly been excellent when called upon to open the 2026 season, slashing .341/.453/.545 with two homers, three doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs across 54 plate appearances. While sustaining that production will be difficult, the 27-year-old switch hitter will look to continue capitalizing on his opportunities and ride the hot streak.

Lucas Erceg KC RPRoyals' Lucas Erceg: Blows another save Monday
23m agoErceg blew the save in Monday's 7-5 loss against the Orioles. He allowed one run on a hit and three walks with no strikeouts over one inning.
Erceg entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead but was unable to secure the save, struggling with control and allowing an RBI single to Samuel Basallo that sent the game to extra innings. It marked the right-hander's second blown save in as many appearances after converting each of his first five opportunities this season. Now sporting a 6.48 ERA and 1.80 WHIP across 8.1 innings, Erceg will look to get back on track while incumbent closer Carlos Estevez (foot) remains on the injured list.

Seth Lugo KC SPRoyals' Seth Lugo: Tosses seven scoreless frames
33m agoLugo did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing a hit and four walks over seven scoreless innings against the Orioles. He struck out seven.
Lugo dazzled in Monday's start, allowing a double to Taylor Ward in the first inning and not surrendering another hit over the remainder of his outing. The crafty right-hander has continued to stack strong outings, posting a 1.15 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 31.1 innings (five starts), though the results have yielded just a 1-1 record. The 36-year-old is projected to make his next start Sunday against the Angels.

Brendan Donovan SEA 2BMariners' Brendan Donovan: Hoping for brief IL stint
37m agoThe Mariners are optimistic that Donovan (groin) won't require a long stay on the 10-day injured list, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.
Donovan landed on the 10-day injured list Monday after missing Seattle's previous two matchup due to the left groin injury. "It doesn't seem like it's going to be a longer-term situation," said manager Dan Wilson. "But again, we just kind of have to assess it as we go." Wilson also mentioned that Donovan's groin injury seems to be related to a sports hernia, which required surgery last October and forced him to miss the last month of the 2025 while with St. Louis. "This is just something that we're going to take as cautiously as we can. It's early and we want to give him the best chance to get back and be 100%," noted Wilson. An official timetable for Donovan's return should come into focus after he starts to make progress in his rehab.

Kyle Bradish BAL SPOrioles' Kyle Bradish: Punches out seven in no-decision
41m agoBradish did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on 10 hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against Kansas City. He struck out seven.
Bradish allowed his share of baserunners but limited the damage, with his lone run allowed coming on a Jac Caglianone solo homer in the second inning. The right-hander had allowed multiple runs in each of his first four starts and entered Monday with a 5.49 ERA, but his effort in Kansas City lowered that mark to 3.96 across 25 innings. Bradish's next start is scheduled for Sunday against Boston.

CJ McCollum ATL PGHawks' CJ McCollum: Drops 32 points in win
2h agoMcCollum tallied 32 points (12-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 35 minutes in Monday's 107-106 Game 2 win over the Knicks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
McCollum provided a steady scoring presence and finished as the game's leading scorer as the Hawks rallied to stun the Knicks in Game 2. The veteran has led his team in scoring in both games of the first-round series, shooting over 50 percent from the field in each. With the series tied at 1-1 and shifting to Atlanta, McCollum's offensive production will need to continue for the Hawks to pull off the series upset.

Brandon Ingram TOR SFRaptors' Brandon Ingram: Disappears in Game 2 defeat
3h agoIngram tallied seven points (3-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 115-105 Game 2 loss to Cleveland in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Monday was a disappointing performance from the first-time All-Star, with Ingram failing to score a point in the first half while missing all six of his field-goal attempts. He also committed a team-high five turnovers, and that lack of efficiency from the field held the Raptors back from making a comeback in the fourth quarter. Game 3 of the series unfolds Toronto on Thursday, and Ingram has been better at home this season than on the road. He averaged 23.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.0 threes, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks over 34.7 minutes across 38 regular-season games at Scotiabank Arena.

RJ Barrett TOR SGRaptors' RJ Barrett: Near double-double in Game 2 loss
3h agoBarrett recorded 22 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Toronto's 115-105 Game 2 loss against the Cavaliers on Monday in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Barrett was rebound shy from logging a double-double and had another efficient performance from the floor Monday, finishing as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (26 points). Barrett has gone 17-for-26 (65.4 percent) from the field over the first two games of the series, and the Raptors will need that efficiency in Game 3 on Thursday if the team wishes to avoid going down 3-0 in the series.
-
Collin Murray-Boyles TOR PFRaptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Plays key role off bench Monday
3h agoMurray-Boyles logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during the Raptors' 115-105 Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Just like in Game 1 on Saturday, Murray-Boyles led the reserves in scoring and finished third on the Raptors in that category behind Scottie Barnes (26 points) and RJ Barrett (22 points). Although he operated in a reserve role, Murray-Boyles' playing time was noticeably greater than Jakob Poeltl, the latter of whom saw just nine minutes of court time and didn't see the floor whatsoever in the second half. Given the discrepancy in minutes between the two big men, it's possible that Murray-Boyles gets the starting nod for Game 3 on Thursday in Toronto.

Scottie Barnes TOR PFRaptors' Scottie Barnes: Leads Raps with 26 points in Game 2
3h agoBarnes posted 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 40 minutes during the Raptors' 115-105 Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Barnes was held scoreless in the first quarter but was more active offensively over the final three frames of Monday's loss to finish as the Raptors' leading scorer. He was also active on the defensive side of the floor with three combined blocks and steals. Barnes has scored 20-plus points in each of the first two games of the series, and he'll had back to Toronto for Game 3 as he looks to help his team avoid going down 3-0.
-
Evan Mobley CLE PFCavaliers' Evan Mobley: Posts 25 points in Game 2 victory
3h agoMobley finished Monday's 115-105 Game 2 win over the Raptors in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 25 points (11-13 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 33 minutes.
It was another efficient effort from the field from Mobley, who scored 11 of his 25 points in the third quarter and finished as the Cavaliers' third-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (30 points) and James Harden (28 points). Mobley has accumulated 42 points over the first two games of the series while going 17-for-22 (77.3 percent) from the field. The Cavaliers will travel to Toronto for Game 3 on Thursday, looking to go 3-0 up in the series.

Yakov Trenin MIN CWild's Yakov Trenin: Hurt in Game 2 in Dallas
22m agoTrenin (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's Game 2 in Dallas.
Trenin was injured after getting hit by Colin Blackwell in the first period. The 29-year-old Trenin registered three hits in 3:02 of ice time before departing the game. The Wild have several depth options to replace the Russian forward in the lineup if he is unable to play in Game 3 in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Jason Dickinson EDM COilers' Jason Dickinson: Returning to lineup for Game 1
3h agoDickinson (leg) is in the lineup for Game 1 versus the Ducks on Monday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Dickinson was classified as a game-time call earlier Monday, and he'll avoid missing the start of Edmonton's postseason run. He is slated to center the third line between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic in Game 1. While he's not an offensive force, Dickinson is an important player from a defensive perspective, as he'll likely play a big role on the penalty kill.
-
Radko Gudas ANA DDucks' Radko Gudas: In lineup in Edmonton
3h agoGudas (lower body) will play in Game 1 in Edmonton on Monday, according to Patrick Present of The Hockey News.
Gudas missed the final two games of the regular season and 13 of the last 17 due to his lower-body injury. The right-shot defenseman will occupy a bottom-four role next to Tyson Hinds on Monday, and Gudas should factor in on one of the penalty-kill units as well.
-
Mats Zuccarello MIN RWWild's Mats Zuccarello: Contending with upper-body injury
3h agoZuccarello is unavailable for Game 2 in Dallas on Monday due to an upper-body injury.
Zuccarello is a big loss for the Wild's top six, as the Norwegian winger generated three helpers, including two on the power play, in Saturday's 6-1 win in Game 1. Vladimir Tarasenko will slot in on the top line alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman, while Bobby Brink will suit up in Game 2 as a result of Zuccarello's absence. Zuccarello can be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 3 in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Artem Zub OTT DSenators' Artem Zub: Not an option Monday
5h agoZub (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Game 2 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Graeme Nichols of The Hockey News reports.
Zub will be replaced in the lineup by Lassi Thomson, who will skate alongside Dennis Gilbert in a third-pairing role, while Nikolas Matinpalo will work on the No. 1 pairing with Jake Sanderson. Zub will have a few days to attempt to be ready for Thursday's Game 3, which will be played in Ottawa.
-
Linus Ullmark OTT GSenators' Linus Ullmark: Set to start in Game 2
5h agoUllmark will patrol the road blue paint Monday versus the Hurricanes, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Ullmark turned in a pretty solid effort in Saturday's Game 1 loss, stopping 27 of 29 shots, but the Senators weren't able to find the back of the net in a shutout loss. Game 2 won't be any easier for the Swedish netminder -- Ottawa will be without arguably its top shutdown defenseman in Artem Zub (undisclosed).
