  • Larrell Murchison LAR DT
    Rams' Larrell Murchison: Returns to Rams
    13m ago

    The Rams re-signed Murchison to a one-year contract Friday.

    Murchison missed the entire 2024 season after suffering an arm injury prior to the season and then a foot issue the day he returned to practice in October. He's presumably going to be healthy enough for a normal offseason and will serve as interior defensive line depth for Los Angeles. Murchison has 44 career games of experience under his belt and has been with the Rams since being claimed off waivers from the Titans in December 2022.

  • Mekhi Becton PHI OG
    Chargers' Mekhi Becton: Finds home with Chargers
    22m ago

    The Chargers signed Becton to a two-year contract Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    After spending the first four years of his career with the Jets and flaming out in New York, Becton inked a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason. Philly moved him from tackle to guard, and it jumpstarted the former first-round pick's career. He started 15 regular-season games at right guard, playing all 1,158 of his offensive snaps at the position. The Chargers will presumably slot Becton in at right guard ahead of Trey Pipkins after Pipkins was somewhat of a liability at the position last season. Cutting Pipkins would clear $6.75 million in cap space for Los Angeles.

  • Kenny Yeboah NYJ TE
    Lions' Kenny Yeboah: Moving to NFC
    4h ago

    The Lions signed Yeboah to a one-year contract Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Yeboah played his first four NFL campaigns with the Jets, with most of his work during that span coming on special teams. He did log a career-high five catches and 47 receiving yards last season while nabbing his first NFL touchdown Week 11 against Indianapolis. The Lions have Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright leading their tight-end corps, so Yeboah's role will likely center around blocking and special teams.

  • Brandin Echols PIT CB
    Steelers' Brandin Echols: Lands deal with Pittsburgh
    4h ago

    Echols and the Steelers agreed on a two-year contract Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Echols spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jets, tallying 121 tackles, 16 defensed passes (including five interceptions, two of which were returned for a TD) and one fumble recovery over 57 regular-season games. He was used mostly in a rotational role last season, starting in just four of 16 contests while also working as a core special-teamer. Darius Slay and Joey Porter are slated to start at outside cornerback for Pittsburgh next year, so Echols could work behind that pair or compete to start in the slot.

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Remaining in New York
    5h ago

    The Jets are re-signing Nwangwu (hand) to a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Per Pelissero, the deal is worth up to $2.5 million. Nwangwu logged just one offensive snap over two games with the Jets last season, but he dazzled with a 99-yard kick return for a touchdown in Week 13. Nwangwu ended the campaign on IR due to a hand injury, but he's expected to be healthy by the start of training camp.

  • Cooper Kupp LAR WR
    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Finds new home in Pacific Northwest
    6h ago

    The Seahawks and Kupp agreed to terms of a contract Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's a three-year deal for Kupp, who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Rams. Kupp will join a receiving corps that moved on from DK Metcalf (traded to the Steelers) and Tyler Lockett (released) this offseason, meaning he'll be working with third-year pro Jaxon Smith-Njigba and veteran vertical threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling in an offense led by new QB Sam Darnold. Since his standout 145-1,947-16 performance on 191 targets in 2021, Kupp hasn't surpassed 75 catches, 812 yards or six touchdowns in any of the ensuing three campaigns while missing 18 regular-season contests during that span.

  • Matt Waldron SD SP
    Padres' Matt Waldron: Diagnosed with oblique strain
    8m ago

    Waldron suffered a mild left oblique strain while warming up in the bullpen Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Waldron's injury prevented him from pitching as scheduled against the Rangers. He'll be re-evaluated Saturday, at which point a return timeline may be established, but his availability for Opening Day is currently up in the air. The 28-year-old right-hander has had a tough time getting going this spring, surrendering 11 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and seven walks while striking out seven batters in 9.1 innings.

  • Brenton Doyle COL CF
    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Not running in spring action
    11m ago

    Doyle has collected 10 hits across 34 at-bats while striking out only seven times across 11 Cactus League games.

    Doyle was anointed Colorado's leadoff hitter this offseason after the retirement of Charlie Blackmon, and he's occupied that position in all 11 games this spring. He's hit well, but there are a few noteworthy portions of his line, including the fact that he's taken zero walks and attempted only one stolen base. Doyle will presumably pick up his stolen base pace during the regular season, as he swiped 30 bags in 2024 with a success rate of 85.7 percent.

  • Jon Gray TEX SP
    Rangers' Jon Gray: Fractures wrist Friday
    35m ago

    Gray was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist after getting hit by a comebacker during Friday's Cactus League game versus Colorado, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Gray took a 106.4-mph line drive off his wrist in the fourth inning of Friday's contest and was promptly removed from the game. Manager Bruce Bochy didn't provide an estimate for when the 33-year-old righty might return, but the injury will certainly delay his 2025 debut by a significant amount of time. With both Gray and Cody Bradford (elbow), set to miss Opening Day, there's a good chance that Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter will both be part of Texas' initial rotation.

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Possibly injured in bullpen
    1h ago

    Waldron didn't pitch as scheduled Friday due to a potential injury he suffered while warming up in the bullpen, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    After Waldron threw a few pitches in the bullpen preparing for what was supposed to be his fifth appearance of the spring, a trainer intervened to check on him. The 28-year-old righty then retreated into the Padres' clubhouse. It's unclear at the moment what he might be dealing with, though more information is likely to be revealed following the game.

  • Johan Rojas PHI CF
    Phillies' Johan Rojas: Expected to throw to bases soon
    2h ago

    Manager Rob Thomson remains confident that Rojas (shoulder) will be ready to play in the outfield by the time the regular season begins, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Rojas threw from 150 feet Thursday and is expected to throw to bases over the weekend. The defensive-minded outfielder would be more likely to make the Opening Day roster as a bench player if fully healthy, but his shoulder injury has rendered Rojas a strict designated hitter this spring and could leave him in jeopardy of not making the team. Despite batting just .241 this spring and going 0-for-4 during Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Rojas has a .333 on-base percentage to go with two home runs and seven RBI across 29 at-bats as he tries to keep pace with strong springs by Christian Arroyo, Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy.

  • Taijuan Walker PHI SP
    Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Solid spring continues Friday
    2h ago

    Walker appears likely to make the Opening Day roster due to Matt Strahm's shoulder injury, but Walker could be a trade candidate this season, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    After giving up just two runs on four hits and one walk over four innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Walker now sports a 3.38 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with five strikeouts across 9.1 frames to further solidify his case to be part of the Opening Day roster. Lauber notes Walker isn't a great fit for the bullpen because he's functioned as a starter for the majority of his career, but the veteran right-hander might draw trade interest if he continues to perform well. Lauber also notes the Phillies could hold onto Walker for long relief as insurance in case one of their starters gets injured, so the team does have some options while their rotation is healthy.

    Spurs' Blake Wesley: Emerges with 10 points off bench
    8m ago

    Wesley finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 145-134 loss to Charlotte.

    The 2022 first-rounder logged his most minutes since the Dec. 13 win over Portland, and his 10 points were his most since way back on Nov. 26. Although it was rookie first-rounder Stephon Castle who stepped into the starting lineup, it would appear initially that Wesley is also one of the direct beneficiaries of the absence of De'Aaron Fox (finger) for the remainder of 2024-25. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Wesley's role moving ahead.

  • Devin Vassell SA SG
    Spurs' Devin Vassell: Strong results continue Friday
    9m ago

    Vassell posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 145-134 loss to Charlotte.

    After struggling in mid-February, Vassell has strung together eight games in a row in double-digit scoring figures. The 24-year-old swingman has averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers in 33.4 minutes during this stretch, and he should continue handling a more pronounced role with De'Aaron Fox (finger) and Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) done for the season.

  • Stephon Castle SA PG
    Spurs' Stephon Castle: Leads team with 26 points in start
    10m ago

    Castle closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 145-134 loss to the Hornets.

    In his first start since the Spurs lost De'Aaron Fox (finger) for the rest of the season, Castle led the Spurs in scoring Friday while supplying a full stat line. The rookie first-rounder has witnessed a considerable rise in fantasy value as part of the first unit in 2024-25, which should continue going forward. Over his last 11 games as a starter, Castle has averaged 18.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes.

  • Nick Smith Jr. CHA PG
    Hornets' Nick Smith: Torches Spurs for 26 points
    21m ago

    Smith contributed 26 points (9-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 145-134 win over the Spurs.

    Smith's efficient 26 points established a new season high Friday, and he sunk six three-pointers off the bench. The 2023 first-rounder has taken on more usage in the absence of Brandon Miller (wrist), but Smith's shooting efficiency remains poor overall. Across his last 14 outings, Smith has averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes while shooting 37.7 percent from the field.

  • Josh Green CHA SF
    Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high 20 points in win
    24m ago

    Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.

    It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.

  • LaMelo Ball CHA PG
    Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Hands out season-high 15 assists
    25m ago

    Ball posted 27 points (9-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over the Spurs.

    Ball handed out a season-high 15 assists Friday, tallying his 11th double-double of the year. The star floor general should remain a high-end fantasy producer in all formats when available, although the rebuilding Hornets figure to monitor his workload in the final month of the season. Over his last 10 games, Ball has averaged 19.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 30.5 minutes.

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Keeps it close in loss
    3m ago

    Wolf stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Wolf gave up a goal in each period, but he did a decent job of keeping things close against a tough opponent. The Avalanche's top players were largely held in check, but their depth players accounted for all three goals on Wolf's line. The 23-year-old netminder has gone 2-2-2 over his last six games, but he's allowed just 13 goals on 167 shots in that span, so his performance is better than the record indicates. For the season, he's at a 22-13-5 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 40 starts. The Flames embark on a four-game road trip next week, beginning Monday in Toronto for the first half of a back-to-back set.

    Avalanche's Jack Drury: Hands out helper in win
    7m ago

    Drury notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    Drury snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on Parker Kelly's second-period tally. After getting traded to the Avalanche in late January, Drury initially filled a third-line role, but he's been bumped down to the fourth line following the team's acquisition of Charlie Coyle at the deadline. Drury now has 14 points, 84 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 57 appearances this season.

    Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Manages helper in win
    10m ago

    O'Connor notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    O'Connor snapped a five-game point drought and earned his first helper since Jan. 14 versus the Rangers. The 28-year-old forward has been shuffled down to the fourth line after the Avalanche's trade-deadline moves, and he'll likely struggle for ice time over the rest of the campaign. He's at 16 points, 73 shots on net, 54 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 66 appearances, putting him at risk of missing the 20-point mark for the first time in four seasons.

  • Samuel Girard COL D
    Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Sets up empty-netter
    12m ago

    Girard produced an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    Girard obtained the puck and set up Valeri Nichushkin on the Avalanche's empty-netter to close out the scoring. The 26-year-old Girard picked up some slack Friday when Josh Manson (upper body) left the contest, and he'd likely have the most ice time to gain if Manson misses additional time. This was Girard's second straight game with a helper after an 11-game point drought. He's at 22 points, 79 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 52 hits and a plus-7 rating over 64 appearances.

    Avalanche's Ross Colton: Provides two more helpers
    15m ago

    Colton notched a pair of assists, two shots on goal, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    Colton has benefited from the Avalanche's improved forward depth following the trade deadline, earning five assists over his last four contests. The 28-year-old remains on the second power-play unit, but all of those helpers have come at even strength. For the season, he's up to 15 goals, 10 assists, 107 shots on net, 125 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 50 appearances.

    Avalanche's Ryan Lindgren: Nets goal in Friday's win
    17m ago

    Lindgren scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    Lindgren had a strong all-around effort in the contest. The 27-year-old could also see more minutes moving forward after Josh Manson (upper body) left the contest after two periods. Lindgren has two points over his last four outings and is up to 21 points, 50 shots on net, 63 hits, 111 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 60 appearances this season. He'll continue to fill a shutdown role in the Avalanche's top four.
