Patrick Paul 2005 OTDolphins' Patrick Paul: Heading to South Beach
2m agoThe Dolphins selected Paul in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 55th overall.
Miami's offensive line graded as mediocre at best in 2023 and needed an upgrade via the draft. Paul, despite playing for five years at Houston, is still rounding into his final form. He has the attributes that front offices covet, checking in at 6-foot-8, 331 pounds with 36-inch arms who is a fluid athlete. He exclusively played left tackle in college but with Terron Armstead holding down that side, Paul will compete with Austin Jackson for the right tackle job in all likelihood.

Adonai Mitchell 2005 WRColts' Adonai Mitchell: Indy ends freefall in second round
7m agoThe Colts selected Mitchell in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 52nd overall.
Mitchell (6-foot-2, 205 pounds) was almost universally expected to go much earlier than this, as the former Texas and Georgia standout torched the combine (4.34-second 40-yard dash, 136-inch broad jump) following a productive end to his Longhorns career (55 catches for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns on 92 targets in 2023). Mitchell drew fewer targets at Texas than first-round pick and fellow wideout Xavier Worthy, and that might be evidence of a potential target cap with Mitchell in the NFL as well, but at the very least he should prove an explosive WR2 type even if he never turns into a 100-catch player. He'll need to compete with former second-round pick Alec Pierce and 2023 third-round pick Josh Downs for snaps before any such breakout occurs, though.

Ben Sinnott 2005 TECommanders' Ben Sinnott: Goes to Washington
8m agoThe Commanders selected Sinnott in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
Even with the Zach Ertz addition, tight end was a glaring need in Washington. Sinnott is the second tight end off the board, and rightfully so. He was one of the top producers at his position in his final year at Kansas State with 49 catches for 676 yards and six touchdowns on 76 targets. In fact, that made him the Wildcats' leading receiver by nearly 100 yards. The production put him on the draft radar, but the combine performance made him a legit second-round prospect. Sinnott runs a 4.68 40 with top percentile scores in his jumps and in the cone drill. That blend of production and athleticism will get him on the field in the nation's capital sooner rather than later, especially with only Ertz standing in his way.

Mike Sainristil 2005 CBCommanders' Mike Sainristil: Second-round pick for Washington
15m agoThe Commanders selected Sainristil in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 50th overall.
Sainristil might be limited to the slot at just 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, but the former Michigan standout should excel there at least. He was a standout presence in a suffocating Wolverines defense that arguably carried Michigan to its National Title victory in 2023, and his workout numbers indicate the ability to cover ground effectively (4.47-second 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical, 131-inch broad jump). Sainristil should immediately take over the slot position for Washington and might even have an outside chance of winning a starting role.

Zach Frazier 2005 IOLSteelers' Zach Frazier: Onward to the Steel City
19m agoThe Steelers selected Frazier in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 51st overall.
Pittsburgh continues to build up the offensive line in this draft, following up first-rounder Troy Fautanu with Frazier. The West Virginia product was a state champion wrestler in high school, which is oftentimes a quality trait that transfers over to playing center. Frazier has the anchor to hold up against stout defenders at 313 pounds with bear-paw hands (10.88 inches) to clutch and redirect. Pittsburgh is adding physicality and talent to its offensive line thus far.

Maason Smith 2005 DLJaguars' Maason Smith: Headed to Duval in second round
21m agoThe Jaguars selected Smith in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 48th overall.
Smith was a surprising selection -- something of a recurring theme with GM Trent Baalke whenever he gets out of the first round -- and it wouldn't be shocking if this pick is recalled somewhat bitterly in upcoming years. The case for the LSU tackle is that he's a plus athlete at 6-foot-5, 306 pounds (5.01-second 40-yard dash, 31-inch vertical), and with 35-inch arms, Smith has incredible reach. The problem is that he just wasn't very productive at LSU, starting just his junior season after tearing his ACL his second season and playing off the bench as a freshman. Fellow LSU tackle Mekhi Wingo might prove the better NFL prospect.

Alex Cobb SF SPGiants' Alex Cobb: Pauses throwing program
2h agoCobb (hip/elbow/shoulder) has been held back from throwing for the last few days due to soreness in his right shoulder, and he is set to see a team doctor Friday night, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.comreports.
Cobb was shifted to the 60-day IL on April 20 to give him more time to recover from his multiple ailments. He underwent left hip surgery in the offseason and was progressing through his rehab assignment following spring training, but he has suffered another setback with right shoulder soreness this time. Cobb's visit with the team doctor Friday night should give him and the Giants a better idea of the next steps forward in his rehab schedule.

Jasson Dominguez NYY CFYankees' Jasson Dominguez: Throwing from 135 feet
2h agoYankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Dominguez (elbow) has increased his throwing distance to 135 feet, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Dominguez continues to progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery from last September, and Boone noted that the 21-year-old is "a few weeks" away from playing in a minor-league rehab game. Dominguez appeared in eight games with the Yankees last season, going 8-for-31 with four home runs and seven RBI over that span.

Kyle Nicolas PIT RPPirates' Kyle Nicolas: Recalled by Pittsburgh
2h agoThe Pirates recalled Nicolas from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Nicolas ended the 2023 season as part of the Pirates' bullpen. He struggled in his four outings, giving up seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out seven over 5.1 frames. Nicolas has looked better in Triple-A this season, posting a 0.84 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over 10.2 innings, and he'll get another shot in Pittsburgh's bullpen. The move corresponds with Ryder Ryan being optioned by the Pirates to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
-
Thairo Estrada SF 2BGiants' Thairo Estrada: Not starting Friday
3h agoEstrada (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Estrada went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's game against the Mets before being pulled due to left hamstring tightness. The Giants had their off day Thursday, but the 28-year-old will sit out for at least one more game while managing his injury. Tyler Fitzgerald will start at second base Friday and bat eighth against Pirates right-hander Quinn Priester.
-
Richard Palacios TB RFRays' Richie Palacios: Rare day off against righty
3h agoPalacios is not in Friday's lineup against the Mets.
Palacios rarely sits against righties, but he's on the bench to start this one against righty Chris Flexen. Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Amed Rosario will start in the Rays' outfield from left to right.
-
Jeremiah Estrada SD RPPadres' Jeremiah Estrada: Back to big club
3h agoThe Padres recalled Estrada from Triple-A El Paso on Friday./
Estrada was sent down to Triple-A following the two-game Korea Series against the Dodgers. He's appeared in eight games with El Paso, registering a 2.08 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 20:3 K:BB and three saves over 8.2 frames, and the right-hander is set to bolster the Padres' bullpen. Estrada's move to the majors corresponds with right-hander Randy Vasquez being optioned to Triple-A El Paso

Luka Doncic DAL PGMavericks' Luka Doncic: Briefly leaves Game 3
7m agoDoncic briefly left Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter with an apparent right knee issue, but returned with 12 seconds to play in the quarter, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Doncic had a significant limp when he checked out of the game and went to the back. He put a brace on his right knee when he came back to the bench, but quickly removed it before checking back into the game.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PGPacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Steps up late in triple-double game
9m agoHaliburton tallied 18 points (8-22 FG, 1-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 assists, 10 rebounds and one block over 46 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Haliburton did a little bit of everything for Indiana in an overtime victory to break a series tie, including hitting the game-winning shot with 1.6 seconds remaining to put a cap on an impressive triple-double performance. Despite struggling from three, Haliburton led all players in Friday's contest in assists while leading the Pacers in rebounds and ending two points shy of the 20-point mark. Haliburton recorded his first triple-double of the postseason so far, tallying at least 10 points and 10 dimes in two games in the quarterfinals.
-
Myles Turner IND CPacers' Myles Turner: Nears double-double as top scorer
10m agoTurner notched 29 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 41 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Turner led all Indiana players in scoring and shots made from deep while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to boost the Pacers to a thrilling overtime victory to take a series lead against the Bucks. Turner has posted at least 15 points and seven rebounds in all three quarterfinals games, connecting on three or more threes in every outing so far in the series. Expect Turner to put up similar numbers the rest of the series, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continues to miss time for Milwaukee.
-
Obi Toppin IND PFPacers' Obi Toppin: Steps up off bench in Game 3 win
10m agoToppin finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Toppin provided a nice spark off Indiana's bench to help his squad take a series lead over Milwaukee, leading all bench players in scoring while ending as one of five Pacers with 15 or more points in the overtime contest. Toppin posted his highest point total of the postseason thus far, surpassing the double-digit mark for the first time of the series. If Toppin can continue to produce the rest of the series like he did in Game 3, Indiana will continue to find itself in a good position to come out on top in the quarterfinals against the Bucks.

-
Cam Talbot LA GKings' Cam Talbot: Set to start Friday
6h agoTalbot is expected to start at home against Edmonton in Game 3 on Friday, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.
Talbot has struggled against the Oilers, allowing 10 goals on 75 shots (.867 save percentage) over two playoff contests. Edmonton ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per game in the regular season, so the Oilers are likely to continue to give the veteran goaltender trouble, especially because Talbot's been floundering for a while now. He has a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over his past 17 outings dating back to March 7.
