Austin Corbett CAR OG
Panthers' Austin Corbett: Returns to action
10h agoCorbett (knee) participated during Tuesday's voluntary workout, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Corbett closed out the 2023 campaign on IR after suffering a knee injury in a Week 11 loss to the Cowboys. His ability to take part in drills Tuesday suggests the Nevada product's knee is well healed as Carolina begins preparation for the upcoming season.

Amare Barno CAR LB
Panthers' Amare Barno: Still dealing with injury
10h agoBarno (knee) is not participating in voluntary workouts Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Barno finished out the 2023 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury Week 16 against the Packers. Although it's not clear what specifically the injury was or how much longer it may affect him, it appears to still be a big enough issue that the Virginia Tech product is not taking part in drills. Luckily, for the Barno and the Panthers, training camp is still about three months away.

Isaiah Rodgers PHI CB
Eagles' Isaiah Rodgers: Restrictions lifted
10h agoRodgers was reinstated by the NFL on Tuesday after he was suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Rodgers was originally suspended in June of 2023 after making bets on NFL games, which led to him being waived by the Colts. Despite the suspension, the UMass product inked a new deal with the Eagles two months later. With his suspension lifted, Rodgers will now be able to participate in all team activities for the first time since he signed with Philadelphia.

Patrick Surtain II DEN CB
Broncos' Patrick Surtain: Has fifth-year option picked up
10h agoThe Broncos picked up the fifth-year option on Surtain's rookie contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The ninth overall pick in the 2021 Draft, Surtain so far has met expectations in his three-year career, earning back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances the last two seasons and even first-team All-Pro honors in his second campaign. Overall, he has seven interceptions among 36 pass defenses in 50 regular-season contests while averaging 63.6 tackles per 17 games played, making him a respectable option in IDP formats. With Tuesday's transaction, Surtain now is locked in in Denver through the 2025 season.
-
Shaq Green-Thompson CAR OLB
Panthers' Shaq Thompson: Back on field
10h agoThompson (lower leg) is participating during voluntary workouts Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Thompson fractured his fibula Week 2 against the Saints, which sidelined the veteran linebacker for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. His ability to take part in drills Tuesday would suggest the 30-year-old has moved past the injury and is fully healthy as the Panthers begin early preparation for the upcoming season.
-
D.J. Wonnum CAR LB
Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Still sidelined
10h agoWonnum (quadriceps) is missing voluntary workouts Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wonnum is still on the mend after surgery to repair his quadriceps, which he injured during Week 16 of last season. The South Carolina product inked a deal with the Panthers in March, so although it seems the franchise is not worried about his injury, it's not clear yet when he'll be ready to participate in the team's offseason programs.
-
Willson Contreras STL C
Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Goes yard in blowout loss
1h agoContreras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Contreras provided a positive start for the Cardinals with his first-inning blast, but it quickly went off the rails for the home team after that. The catcher saw his 11-game hitting streak end Monday, but he's still been one of the Cardinals' most consistent bats so far. He's slashing .292/.418/.523 with three homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 19 contests. Manager Oliver Marmol has committed to getting both Contreras and Ivan Herrera regular at-bats, so they have often shared catcher and designated hitter in recent weeks.
-
Cal Raleigh SEA C
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Keeps raking
1h agoRaleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Rangers.
Raleigh tagged Dane Dunning for a two-run shot in the first inning to plate J.P. Crawford, marking the fourth long ball of his last five appearances. During that stretch, Raleigh is batting .474 with nine RBI, five runs scored and three multi-hit games.
-
Julio Rodriguez SEA CF
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Puts tally in home run column
2h agoRodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.
-
Dane Dunning TEX SP
Rangers' Dane Dunning: Fans seven in loss
2h agoDunning (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against Seattle, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.
Dunning was hit hard Tuesday, surrendering four extra-base hits, including a pair of two-run home runs by Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh. He's allowed a home run in all five of his starts this season and is tied for the second-most homers allowed in MLB (seven). Despite his power troubles, Dunning has been a quality source of strikeouts, punching out seven batters in three of his five starts this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds on Sunday.
-
Logan Gilbert SEA SP
Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Goes 6.2 scoreless
2h agoGilbert (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Texas, allowing two hits and four walks across 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Gilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first but otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third but was saved by Ryne Stanek, who forced Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.
-
Santiago Espinal CIN 2B
Reds' Santiago Espinal: Three hits, homer in win
2h agoEspinal went 3-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 victory over the Phillies.
After picking up a pair of base hits earlier in the game, Espinal delivered the final blow in Cincinnati's 8-1 victory, smacking a solo home run off Ricardo Pinto in the eighth inning, his first of the season. It's just the second multi-hit game of the year for the 29-year-old Espinal -- he'd been stuck in a 1-for-19 slump over his previous seven contests. Overall, he's slashing .178/.264/.267 with seven RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases across 17 games. While Espinal's performance Tuesday was encouraging, he'll likely retreat to a bench role when Jonathan India (illness) is ready to return.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SG
Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Out for remainder of game
2h agoHardaway won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain. He will the contest with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, and one assist and one steal in six minutes.
Hardaway hardly saw any action Tuesday before suffering a right ankle sprain that will cause him to miss the remainder of the contest. Dante Exum and Josh Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hardaway's availability for Game 3 on Friday is uncertain.
-
Karl-Anthony Towns MIN PF
Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Limited in Game victory
2h agoTowns finished Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes.
Towns played just 24 minutes in the victory, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. The coaching staff continues to monitor minutes as he returns from a knee injury. He also picked up four fouls in quick time, perhaps impacting his time on the floor. They will now get three nights off before returning to the court for Game 3. The extended rest will almost certainly provide Towns with a chance to continue his return-to-action plan.
-
Mike Conley MIN PG
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Vintage performance Tuesday
2h agoConley ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
Conley assumed more responsibility on the offensive end of the floor, tallying 18 points in 32 minutes. Despite not always putting up noteworthy production, Conley is a vital piece for the Timberwolves. He provides them with leadership both on and off the court, as well as a cool head when the going gets tough. Minnesota will look to take a stranglehold on the series when they line up for Game 3 Friday.
-
Jaden McDaniels MIN SF
Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Erupts for team-high 25 points
2h agoMcDaniels ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 25 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 41 minutes.
McDaniels shone in the victory, leading all scorers with 25 points. Known for his defensive abilities, it was on the offensive end that he did his damage. He was part of a balanced effort by the Timberwolves, easily accounting for the Suns to establish a 2-0 series lead.
-
Bol Bol PHO C
Suns' Bol Bol: Logs two minutes in Game 2 loss
2h agoBol finished with two rebounds in two minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to Minnesota in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Bol managed just two minutes during garbage time, continuing his disappointing season. Despite his reputation in many fantasy circles, Bol is simply not that good. At this point, there is no reason to think he will ever be anything more than a per-minute specialist with very little upside when it comes to sustainable playing time.
-
Bradley Beal PHO SG
Suns' Bradley Beal: Passive performance Tuesday
2h agoBeal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, the Suns were simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, Phoenix will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3.
-
Colton Sissons NSH C
Predators' Colton Sissons: Tallies in Game 2 win
1m agoSissons scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
Sissons led the Predators' forwards with his four blocks. The 30-year-old also chipped in with the team's third goal. Sissons had a career year in 2023-24 with 15 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 138 hits and 57 blocked shots over 81 regular-season appearances. He's often played in a second-line role this year, offering two-way appeal on the ice and modest fantasy value for his all-around game.
-
Anthony Beauvillier NSH LW
Predators' Anthony Beauvillier: Haunts old team with two points
3m agoBeauvillier scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
Beauvillier doubled his point total for April with this two-point effort. The 26-year-old began the year as a Canuck, posting eight points over 22 outings before being traded to the Blackhawks and then to the Predators. He had a mediocre 17 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in 60 contests this season, but he's still seeing middle-six usage to begin the playoffs.
-
Filip Forsberg NSH LW
Predators' Filip Forsberg: Pair of points in win
5m agoForsberg scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
Forsberg set up Anthony Beauvillier early in the first period and then scored a goal of his own -- the game-winner -- at 6:29 of the second. With three points over two playoff outings, Forsberg has carried his momentum from the regular season into the postseason. The 29-year-old has added four hits, six shots on net and a minus-1 rating so far in the first round. He's the star of the Predators' offense and a steady presence on the top line.
-
Juuse Saros NSH G
Predators' Juuse Saros: Collects win Tuesday
7m agoSaros allowed a goal on 18 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
Saros was solid when called upon, but the Predators were also credited with 30 blocked shots to make his job easier. He's allowed four goals on 38 shots over two playoff contests so far. Saros will likely continue to see most -- if not all -- of the starts during the postseason, and he's likely to get more goal support with Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) out of action for the Canucks. Game 3 is set for Friday in Nashville.
-
Brenden Dillon WPG D
Jets' Brenden Dillon: Generates assist Tuesday
11m agoDillon logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Dillon already has three helpers over two playoff games -- he logged just one assist across his last nine regular-season outings. The 33-year-old defenseman is better known for his physical and defensive play than his offense, though he put up 20 points, 241 hits and 111 blocked shots in 77 contests during 2023-24. He should continue to see time on the Jets' second pairing.
-
Neal Pionk WPG D
Jets' Neal Pionk: Logs helper in loss
13m agoPionk notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Pionk helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the first period. After posting 33 points for the second season in a row, Pionk should be able to offer solid offense and plenty of physical play from his second-pairing role in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner had 220 hits, 118 blocked shots, 63 PIM and 146 shots on net over 82 regular-season outings.
