Austin Corbett CAR OGPanthers' Austin Corbett: Returns to action
7h 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 LBPanthers' Amare Barno: Still dealing with injury
7h 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 CBEagles' Isaiah Rodgers: Restrictions lifted
8h 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 CBBroncos' Patrick Surtain: Has fifth-year option picked up
8h 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 OLBPanthers' Shaq Thompson: Back on field
8h 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 LBPanthers' D.J. Wonnum: Still sidelined
8h 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.

Pablo Lopez MIN SPTwins' Pablo Lopez: Says healthy despite velocity drop
6m agoLopez allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings Tuesday in a 6-5 win over the White Sox. He struck out six in a no-decision. He said after the game he was a physically fine despite a noticeable drop in his fastball velocity during the game, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Lopez's final pitch in the fourth inning was 91.9 mph, his slowest four-seam fastball while a member of the Twins, according to Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com. Lopez didn't allow any runs in the first three innings but struggled in the fourth inning by allowing a three-run home run. It was a disappointing performance considering he was facing a struggling offense. However, it sounds like his worrisome velocity drop may not indicate a bigger problem.
-
Jordan Wicks CHC SPCubs' Jordan Wicks: First quality start of 2024
9m agoWicks (1-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Wicks got through five innings for the first time all season Tuesday, picking up his first win after six innings of work. However, he set a season low in strikeouts, bringing down his K/9 from 12.7 to 11.0, and surrendered his second long ball of the campaign in the fifth inning to Jake Meyers. Wicks is lined up to close out a two-start week Sunday at Boston.
-
Yency Almonte CHC RPCubs' Yency Almonte: Nabs four-out save
14m agoAlmonte picked up the save Tuesday against Houston, allowing no hits and no walks with a strikeout over 1.1 scoreless innings.
After manager Craig Counsell announced Sunday that Adbert Alzolay was no longer the Cubs' closer, Almonte landed closing duties Tuesday. While Almonte's the first Cub with a save since the announcement, Hector Norris -- who got a save in Game 2 of Saturday's double-header -- and Mark Leiter -- who Almonte replaced in the eighth -- could be part of what seems to be a short-term closing committee.
-
Nolan Jones COL LFRockies' Nolan Jones: Exits with back stiffness
17m agoJones was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres due to back stiffness, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Jones went 1-for-4 with an RBI during Tuesday's contest to break an 0-for-25 stretch at the plate, but he was replaced in left field after striking out in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury is unclear, but the Rockies will likely offer more details on his condition ahead of Wednesday's game.
-
Tobias Myers MIL RPBrewers' Tobias Myers: Hard-luck loss in debut
18m agoMyers (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing one run on four hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out four.
After allowing a leadoff homer to Andrew McCutchen in the first inning, Myers ultimately turned in a solid Major League debut, holding the Pirates scoreless over his subsequent four innings. However, the 25-year-old right-hander wound up with the loss as Milwaukie couldn't crack Bailey Falter until the eighth inning. Myers got off to a good start this year with Triple-A Nashville, pitching to a 1.62 ERA across 16.2 innings. He should get another look in the Brewers rotation while Wade Miley (elbow) is sidelined.
-
Matt Canterino MIN RPTwins' Matt Canterino: Begins throwing
20m agoCanterino (shoulder) has started throwing between 40-60 feet, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Canterino suffered a rotator cuff strain in mid-March. There's no timetable for his return, but at least he's started to make progress. The right-hander missed all of 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, so expect the Twins to be cautious with his return.
-
Daniel Gafford DAL CMavericks' Daniel Gafford: Checks back into game
28m agoGafford (back) returned to Tuesday's Game 2 against the Clippers with 7:54 remaining in the second quarter.
Despite being deemed questionable to return due to a lower back injury, Gafford ultimately missed about a quarter of action Tuesday. The 24-year-old big man will look to make a bigger impact than he did in Game 1 when he tallied just three points and zero rebounds.
-
Grayson Allen PHO SGSuns' Grayson Allen: Avoids serious injury
1h agoFrank Vogel said Tuesday that X-rays came back negative on Allen's right ankle, and he should be considered day-to-day, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen has dealt with a right ankle injury through the first two games of the series against Minnesota and should be considered questionable for Game 3 on Friday. If Allen is unable to suit, Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale will likely receive increased playing time.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable to return Tuesday
1h agoGafford is questionable for the remainder of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Clippers due to a lower back injury.
Gafford recorded no stats in three minutes of action before exiting Tuesday's contest with 8:34 remaining in the first quarter due to a lower back injury. If Gafford is unable to return, Dereck Lively will likely serve as Dallas' primary center.

Grayson Allen PHO SG
Suns' Grayson Allen: Won't return Tuesday
2h agoAllen has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves due to a right ankle injury. He will end the contest with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes.
Allen will sit out the remainder of Game 2 after landing awkwardly on Timberwolves guard Mike Conley early in the third quarter. Allen has been held to just seven total points across the first two games of the series while dealing with an ankle injury. Allen's availability for Game 3 on Friday is uncertain.
-
Amir Coffey LAC SFClippers' Amir Coffey: Moves to bench
2h agoCoffey will move to the bench for Tuesday's Game 2 versus Dallas, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
This is an expected move for the Clippers, as Kawhi Leonard has the green light to return from his knee issue. Coffey was held in check in Game 1 Sunday, scoring six points with three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Grayson Allen PHO SG
Suns' Grayson Allen: Tweaks ankle Tuesday
2h agoAllen left Tuesday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves with 9:17 remaining in the third quarter due to an apparent right ankle injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Allen landed awkwardly on Timberwolves guard Mike Conley and appeared to re-aggravate the right ankle injury that he suffered in Game 1. If Allen is unable to return, Eric Gordon, Royce O'Neale and Josh Okogie are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Nikita Alexandrov STL CBlues' Nikita Alexandrov: Plays sparingly during 2023-24
1h agoAlexandrov recorded two assists across 23 games during the 2023-24 season.
The Blues kept Alexandrov with the big club all season because they feared he would be claimed off waivers if they sent him to the AHL. The 2019 second-round pick barely played as a result, and he averaged just 8:32 of ice time when he was in the lineup. This isn't a great option for the youngster's development, but barring a trade, he'll likely stick with the Blues next season because he's a restricted free agent this summer.
-
Alexei Toropchenko STL RWBlues' Alexei Toropchenko: Tallies 14 goals in bottom-six role
1h agoToropchenko recorded 14 goals and seven assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 season.
Toropchenko played almost exclusively in the bottom six, but he was briefly promoted to the top six when the Blues' playoff hopes were in desperation mode. The 6-foot-6 forward is known for his defensive presence and physicality -- he dished out 165 hits -- but the scoring touch adds to his versatility. The 24-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract next season.
-
Robin Salo NYI DIslanders' Robin Salo: Headlines playoff call-ups
1h agoSalo, Julien Gauthier, Brian Pinho, Dennis Cholowski and Karson Kuhlman were recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
All five players will serve as extra depth options for the Islanders during the postseason. Salo produced 24 points in 68 appearances at the AHL level this season, but he did not see any NHL action.
-
Philip Broberg EDM DOilers' Philip Broberg: In NHL again
1h agoBroberg was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
It appears the Oilers will be juggling Broberg back and forth between leagues for the foreseeable future. It's unclear if he'll be in consideration for any NHL action during the playoffs, barring an injury to one of the team's blueliners.
-
Kasperi Kapanen STL RWBlues' Kasperi Kapanen: Generates 22 points with Blues
1h agoKapanen posted six goals and 16 assists across 73 games during the 2023-24 campaign.
The Blues claimed Kapanen off waivers during the 2022-23 season. He immediately showed promise with eight goals and 14 points through the final 23 games of the season, but his game never took off the following season. The 27-year-old will be a free agent this summer, and it's unclear if he's in the plans moving forward for the rebuilding Blues.
-
Sam Bennett FLA CPanthers' Sam Bennett: Sustains injury Tuesday
2h agoBennett (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Lightning.
Bennett reportedly took a shot to the hand, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports. Bennett should be considered day-to-day until the Panthers provide another update. He scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Game 2 prior to his exit.
