Ricky Pearsall SF WR49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Making recovery progress
26m agoPearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to route-running at seemingly full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

Nazeeh Johnson KC SAFChiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Suiting up for practice
1h agoJohnson (knee) participated during the first day of padded practice Friday, PJ Green of Fox4 News Kansas City reports.
Johnson was recovering from a torn ACL as recently as Wednesday, but he now appears to be back at or near full speed. After the Chiefs lost L'Jarius Sneed during free agency, there could be some competition at camp for boundary reps at corner this season.

Sam Pinckney CAR WRSam Pinckney: Done with Panthers
1h agoCarolina released Pinckney on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
The Panthers made a series of free-agent signings Friday, and Pinckney became a casualty of their consequent need to free up space on the roster. He'll now search for another chance with a different team.
-
Marshon Lattimore NO CBSaints' Marshon Lattimore: Picks up hip injury
2h agoLattimore left practice Friday due to an issue with a hip flexor, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but New Orleans will want to exercise an abundance of caution with its four-time Pro-Bowler regardless. Until Lattimore can come back, Paulson Adebo figures to work as the Saints' top corner during team drills.
-
Jonathan Sutherland SEA DBJonathan Sutherland: Getting cut
2h agoSeattle released Sutherland on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
In a corresponding move, Seattle signed safety Marquise Blair. Sutherland is still searching for his first regular-season NFL snap, and he'll now have to look for his next shot elsewhere.
-
Brandon Jones DEN SAFBroncos' Brandon Jones: Dealing with hamstring issue
2h agoJones tweaked his hamstring at practice Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
The severity of the injury isn't known at this point, but even seemingly minor hamstring issues sometimes have a tendency to linger. Until Jones is healthy enough to practice again, 2023 sixth-rounder JL Skinner could get more looks during team drills.
-
Charlie Blackmon COL DHRockies' Charlie Blackmon: Resting versus LHP
5m agoBlackmon isn't in Colorado's lineup Friday versus the Giants.
With southpaw Kyle Harrison set to start on the bump for San Francisco, the lefty-hitting Blackmon will take a seat to begin Friday's contest. His absence will move Elias Diaz into the DH role, allowing Jacob Stallings to start behind the dish.
-
Blake Walston ARI RPDiamondbacks' Blake Walston: Faces hitters
7m agoWalston (elbow) threw live batting practice Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
Walston touched 94 miles per hour during the session, a very encouraging sign considering he hovered between 91 and 92 miles per hour during his three appearances this season. The 23-year-old southpaw is expected to be activated from the injured list sometime in August but may not have a spot on the 26-man roster. It's unclear how far along Walston is in being stretched out for a starter's workload.
-
Jake Cave COL RFRockies' Jake Cave: Idle versus lefty
9m agoCave isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.
The Rockies will face left-hander Kyle Harrison in Friday's series opener, so the left-handed Cave will take a seat on the bench. While he rests, Hunter Goodman, Brenton Doyle and Kris Bryant will start across the Rockies' outfield.
-
Keaton Winn SF SPGiants' Keaton Winn: Set for season-ending surgery
11m agoWinn is scheduled for an ulnar nerve transposition procedure on his right elbow Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winn was initially placed on the 15-day injured list June 22 due to a nerve issue in his right elbow. He began his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions in early July, but he was shut down from throwing Monday after experiencing additional discomfort in his right elbow. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, and with his surgery scheduled for Monday, the 26-year-old right-hander's season is officially over. He started in 12 games for the Giants before landing on the IL, going 3-8 with a 7.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings. Winn will now shift his attention to returning to the mound for the 2025 season.
-
Gregory Santos SEA RPMariners' Gregory Santos: Could return Saturday
23m agoMariners manager Scott Servais said Friday that the results of Santos' MRI on his right knee "came back OK," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
It's not as promising as hearing that the MRI came back clean, but it appears Santos will avoid a stint on the IL and could be available as soon as Saturday. Santos was removed in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels after being called for a balk. Before exiting Wednesday, he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over 0.2 innings.
-
Sandy Alcantara MIA SPMarlins' Sandy Alcantara: Another bullpen coming
35m agoAlcantara (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Alcantara threw off a mound Wednesday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last October and will toss another bullpen Saturday. The expectation remains that Alcantara won't pitch until 2025, but he's been progressing well.
-
Trey Jemison MEM CPelicans' Trey Jemison: Headed to New Orleans
2h agoThe Pelicans claimed Jemison off waivers Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Jemison was waived by the Grizzlies earlier this week but will now have the opportunity to compete for minutes in the Pelicans' frontcourt rotation. In 2023-24, Jemison averaged 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 assists in 23.0 minutes across 25 regular-season appearances.
-
David Roddy PHO SFHawks' David Roddy: Headed to Atlanta
3h agoThe Suns are trading Roddy to the Hawks in exchange for E.J. Liddell on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Roddy made 65 regular-season combined appearances for the Grizzlies and Suns last year, averaging 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.1 minutes. Roddy will likely compete for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation.
-
E.J. Liddell ATL SFSuns' E.J. Liddell: Traded to Phoenix
3h agoThe Hawks are trading Liddell to the Suns in exchange for David Roddy on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
This is the second time Liddell gets traded in less than a month, as he was traded from New Orleans to Atlanta on June 26 as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Liddell will compete for a depth frontcourt option for the Suns, but his chances of earning a meaningful role are very slim.
-
Dante Exum DAL SGMavericks' Dante Exum: Likely out Saturday
4h agoExum (finger) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Spain, Eurohoops.net reports.
Exum fractured part of his right index finger against France in an exhibition and will likely miss Australia's opening match of the Olympics on Saturday. He's also doubtful for Tuesday's matchup versus Canada. Exum has avoided surgery and is expected to suit up for Australia at some point, but even if he does play, he'll likely be limited.
-

5h agoThe Spurs signed Duke (undisclosed) to a two-way contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Duke made four NBA appearances for San Antonio in 2023-24, averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.8 minutes. This season, the 24-year-old guard is set to split time between the Spurs and their G League affiliate. While Duke did miss the Summer League due to an undisclosed injury, there is no indication that he will miss any of the 2024-25 campaign.
-

7h agoLaine (personal) was cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Laine entered the program in late January after missing 17 games with a fractured clavicle. Laine only played in 18 regular-season games with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24, scoring six goals and adding three assists.

-
Rafael Harvey-Pinard MON LWCanadiens' Rafael Harvey-Pinard: Suffers broken leg
8h agoHarvey-Pinard suffered a broken leg that required surgery Thursday and will be sidelined for at least four months.
Harvey-Pinard will miss training camp and at least the first month of the season with the injury. The 25-year-old was slated to see bottom-six minutes in 2024-25 before suffering the broken leg. He will likely be replaced on the fourth unit by Joshua Roy. Harvey-Pinard had 14 goals and 20 points in 34 games during the 2022-23 campaign, but he slumped last season, scoring only twice while adding eight assists in 45 regular-season appearances.
-
Thomas Bordeleau SJ C
Sharks' Thomas Bordeleau: Inks two-way deal
1d agoBordeleau signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sharks on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
Bordeleau's contract matches his qualifying offer, so he'll come with a $874,125 cap hit if he plays in the NHL. The 22-year-old had six goals and 11 points in 27 contests with the Sharks in 2023-24. He also provided 11 goals and 25 points across 35 outings with AHL San Jose.
-
Oliver Wahlstrom NYI RWIslanders' Oliver Wahlstrom: Signs one-year contract
1d agoWahlstrom penned a one-year contract with the Islanders on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wahlstrom and the Islanders avoided arbitration, agreeing to the one-year deal. Wahlstrom has been a huge disappointment since he was drafted 11th overall in 2018. He managed to score just a pair of goals and six points in 32 regular-season games in 2023-24, as he was a healthy scratch in 24 consecutive games, before seeing action in the regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh. Wahlstrom is expected to see bottom-six minutes in 2024-25, which will hamper his fantasy value.
-
Travis Konecny PHI CFlyers' Travis Konecny: Signs eight-year extension
1d agoKonecny signed an eight-year, $70 million contract extension with the Flyers on Thursday.
The deal will begin in the 2025-26 season as Konecny has one more year at $5.5 million on the six-year deal he signed with the Flyers in September of 2019. Konecny had 33 goals and 68 points in 76 regular-season appearances last season -- both career highs. The 27-year-old will see first-line time, as well as first-unit power-play action in 2024-25, and could hit the 35-goal and 75-point mark, if he manages to remain healthy.
