Jacob Phillips CLE LBTexans' Jacob Phillips: Houston bound
7h agoPhillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Phillips spent last year on Cleveland's injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. It was his second straight season-ending pectoral injury, as the same injury ended his 2022 campaign early. The 2020 third-round pick's addition to the Texans' offseason roster indicates his health is back to up to par. He will now compete for a role at linebacker in Houston.

Mitchell Wilcox CIN TEPatriots' Mitchell Wilcox: Inks new deal
10h agoWilcox signed a contract with the Patriots on Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Wilcox now will call New England home after spending the first three campaigns of his career In Cincinnati. The 27-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, mostly operating as the Bengals' No. 3 option at tight end and recording nine catches (on 12 targets) for 56 yards. If he can make the Patriots' roster this year, he'll likely be a depth option for them, too.

Cole Holcomb PIT LBSteelers' Cole Holcomb: Future status still in question
11h agoHolcomb (knee) still doesn't have a timeline for when he may be able to return to the field, Adam Borst of SteelersNow.com reports.
Holcomb suffered a significant knee injury Week 9 against the Titans that required season-ending surgery to repair. Since then, there has been speculation that the damage done was enough to keep the North Carolina product on the sidelines permanently, bringing an early end to his career. However, according to GM Omar Khan, Holcolmb is "working extremely hard to get back. I don't really have much to add on a timeline." Khan further stated, "It was a major injury, but he is working hard and I'm optimistic about all the effort he's going to put into getting back on the field."

Brandon Aiyuk SF WR49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Discussing deal with team
11h agoGM John Lynch said Monday that the 49ers are having "good talks" with Aiyuk, who hasn't been at the team facility for the offseason program, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Aiyuk is unlikely to show up for voluntary workouts without a new contract in hand, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll hold out from mandatory minicamp in June if the two sides haven't reached an agreement by then. The 26-year-old's agent denied reports of a trade request last weekend, and it sounds like there's still hope for a long-term contract heading into the fifth and final year of Aiyuk's rookie deal. He's scheduled to make $14.12 million under the fifth-year option, whereas a multi-year deal likely would entail a large signing bonus and an annual average value well north of $20 million. Making it work for the 2024 season isn't an issue, but the Niners may be hesitant to pay Aiyuk at market value long term when they already have six players scheduled for cap hits north of $20 million in 2025, including WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle. Even then, it's a workable situation, as they've got a starting QB on a late-round-rookie contract and don't owe large sums of guaranteed money beyond the current year to anyone besides DE Nick Bosa.

Zach Wilson NYJ QBBroncos' Zach Wilson: Traded to Denver
12h agoThe Jets are trading Wilson to the Broncos for a late-round pick swap, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
The Jets will give up the 256th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and receive pick No. 203. They'll also hold some of Wilson's salary, with the 24-year-old scheduled for $5.45 million in guaranteed compensation for the final year of his rookie contract. This could give Wilson a shot to compete for a starting job, depending on what the Broncos do in the upcoming draft. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are the other QBs on Denver's roster, with Stidham the favorite to start Week 1 if no early draft pick is added to the room.

Sam Hubbard CIN DEBengals' Sam Hubbard: Bouncing back from ankle surgery
13h agoHubbard underwent an offseason procedure to address an ankle injury that he dealt with last season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Per the report, Hubbard -- who missed two regular-season games in 2023 due to a right ankle issue -- indicated that he had a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle as well as a TightRope procedure. Now that the defensive end has had his ankle repaired, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reported Monday that Hubbard says he's a few weeks ahead of schedule in his recovery and believes that he'll be ready for training camp.

Jo Adell LAA RFAngels' Jo Adell: Homers, swipes bag in loss
3m agoAdell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Orioles.
Adell produced the Angels' first run with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He then helped in the team's attempt to try to rally in the ninth, leading off the frame with a hit-by-pitch, advancing to second on a single and subsequently stealing third, though he was ultimately stranded there. Adell continues to receive sporadic playing time -- this was just his second start in the Angels' past six contests -- but he's done well when on the field, slashing .281/.314/.531 with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs and six steals through 35 plate appearances.
-
Brandon Lowe TB 2BRays' Brandon Lowe: Takes modest step toward return
4m agoLowe (oblique) has started swinging and taking ground balls, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Lowe landed on the injured list April 12 but doesn't appear all that close to a return. On Tuesday, manager Kevin Cash described Lowe's progress as "nothing huge yet." Curtis Mead and Amed Rosario will likely continue to form a platoon at second base in Lowe's absence.
-
Taj Bradley TB SPRays' Taj Bradley: Set for rehab assignment
8m agoBradley (pectoral) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin reports.
Bradley threw 62 pitches across four innings in extended spring training Monday. He emerged from the outing without issue and is now likely set for a couple of rehab appearances before being activated from the injured list.
-
Colton Cowser BAL LFOrioles' Colton Cowser: Continues early-season success
8m agoCowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Angels in a 4-2 win Monday.
Cowser accounted for Baltimore's final run with a seventh-inning solo shot off Reid Detmers. It was the young slugger's sixth long ball of the campaign and his second in as many games. Cowser looked lost facing major-league batting for the first time last season, posting a .115/.286/.148 slash line with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate over 77 plate appearances. He's turned things around dramatically to start this season, however, recording a .364/.400/.800 slash line along with 12 extra-base hits, 10 runs, 17 RBI and three thefts through 60 plate appearances.
-
Jose Caballero TB SSRays' Jose Caballero: Smacks second homer
11m agoCaballero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Tigers.
Caballero has made his mark with seven stolen bases across his first 22 games this season. However, he swatted his second homer of the campaign against Shelby Miller in the eighth inning, and he now has an extra-base hit in each of his last three games. Caballero has a clear path to playing time for the foreseeable future, as Taylor Walls (hip) has been shut down from baseball activities and is ineligible to return from the injured list until late May.
-
James McCann BAL COrioles' James McCann: Hits first homer
12m agoMcCann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 victory versus the Angels.
With Adley Rutschman resting his legs as the Orioles' DH, McCann got a start behind the plate and accounted for the team's first run with a second-inning solo blast. The veteran backstop has notched at least one hit in seven of the 10 games in which he's appeared, compiling a .265/.265/.412 slash line, five runs and five RBI. That works just fine for a backup catcher, but McCann doesn't figure to be a viable option in most fantasy formats with Rutschman staked to the lead role behind the plate for the Orioles for the foreseeable future.

Franz Wagner ORL PFMagic's Franz Wagner: Nears 20 points in balanced outing
4h agoWagner tallied 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Wagner struggled to find his shot a bit in Monday's defeat but still provided a lift offensively to Orlando while ending two points shy of the 20-point mark while leading all Magic players in rebounds in a balanced performance. Wagner has put together back-to-back strong showings for Orlando to start the opening-round series, posting 18 points and seven boards in both contests.
-
Gary Harris ORL SGMagic's Gary Harris: Strong from deep in double figures
4h agoHarris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, which resulted in the guard not connecting on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3.
-
Paolo Banchero ORL PFMagic's Paolo Banchero: Leading scorer in Game 2 loss
4h agoBanchero notched 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 41 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Banchero led all Orlando players in scoring while handing out a trio of rebounds and assists and swiping a team-high pair of steals in a losing effort in Game 2. Banchero has done all he can to help the Magic in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, surpassing the 20-point mark while recording at least three rebounds and steals in both outings.
-
Darius Garland CLE PGCavaliers' Darius Garland: Leads from deep in Game 2 win
4h agoGarland posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Garland had a strong showing from deep in Cleveland's second straight victory to begin the series, connecting on a team-high mark from three while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and ending as one of four Cavaliers with 15 or more points. Garland has provided a nice boost for Cleveland through two games in the first round, posting at least 14 points, four assists and three rebounds in two straight outings.
-
Jarrett Allen CLE CCavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Owns boards in 20-rebound game
4h agoAllen finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 FT), 20 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 39 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Allen did it all to help Cleveland take a commanding 2-0 series lead, leading all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Cavaliers in blocks to go along with a pair of steals in a double-double performance. Allen has owned the glass over the first two games of the opening-round series, recording at least 18 rebounds and a double-double in both contests.
-
Donovan Mitchell CLE SGCavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Top scorer in Game 2 victory
4h agoMitchell tallied 23 points (9-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Mitchell once again led Cleveland offensively in another victory in the opening-round series, finishing with a game-high scoring total while handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists and ending two boards shy of a double-double. The Cavaliers will continue to ride Mitchell's offensive firepower in the postseason, with Mitchell posting at least 23 points in both games of the first round thus far.

Warren Foegele EDM LWOilers' Warren Foegele: Fills empty cage
3m agoFoegele scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Foegele has four goals over his last four games, a span in which he's fired 25 shots on net. The 28-year-old winger remains in a middle-six role for the Oilers, and he doesn't often see much power-play time. He had 20 goals and 41 points, both career highs, in 82 regular-season appearances this year.
-
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins EDM COilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Strikes on power play
5m agoNugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Nugent-Hopkins rested for the regular-season finale. The 31-year-old has spent much of the season in a top-six role, and he began the playoffs on the second line. He produced 18 goals and 67 points in 80 contests this year, well off the mark from last year's 37-goal, 104-point campaign. Nonetheless, Nugent-Hopkins is an excellent source of power-play production.
-
Adam Henrique EDM COilers' Adam Henrique: One of each in Game 1 win
8m agoHenrique scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Henrique was on the top line Monday, and it worked out well for him. He scored in the first period and helped out on the second of Zach Hyman's three goals, an even-strength tally in the second. Henrique had just nine points over 22 games as an Oiler following his trade from the Ducks, but he's got significantly more scoring upside as long as his even-strength minutes are on the top line.
-
Leon Draisaitl EDM COilers' Leon Draisaitl: Earns two power-play points
10m agoDraisaitl scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Both of Draisaitl's points came on the power play in the high-scoring win. The center had five multi-point efforts over his last 11 games of the regular season. He finished 2023-24 with 41 goals, 106 points, 39 power-play points, 217 shots on net and a plus-26 rating. For now, Draisaitl will center his own line, and that will likely continue until the Oilers fall behind in a series.
-
Zach Hyman EDM COilers' Zach Hyman: Hat trick, assist in win
13m agoHyman scored three times on nine shots, dished an assist, doled out five hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Hyman rested in the regular-season finale, and it was well earned after his 54-goal, 77-point campaign. The winger kept the offense up in the playoff opener, scoring once in each frame to power the Oilers' offense. Hyman's chemistry with Connor McDavid is quite prevalent, and their continued success figures to play a large role in how far the Oilers go this spring.
-
Stuart Skinner EDM GOilers' Stuart Skinner: Grabs Game 1 win
16m agoSkinner stopped 33 of 37 shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
The Oilers jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Kings got on the board, so Skinner's ability to protect the lead was never in question. The 25-year-old went 36-16-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 59 contests as a full-time starter in 2023-24. Skinner will benefit from the offense in front of him, though the Oilers' defensive issues could spell trouble for the netminder down the line. Game 2 is Wednesday in Edmonton.
