Xavier Thomas: Shifts back to IR
Thomas (undisclosed) cleared waivers Thursday and reverted to injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 2024 fifth-round pick (Cardinals) played 18 games over his first two seasons, recording 10 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a pass breakup. However, he was waived by the Cardinals midway through the 2025 season before landing on the Texans' practice squad. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but he'll remain on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Texans.Read More -

Thaddeus Dixon: Suffers torn Achilles
Dixon tore his Achilles on Wednesday and was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Despite going undrafted, there were high hopes for Dixon, who received $282,500 guaranteed in his contract (one of the largest among the rookie class), according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Dixon went undrafted in part because of an existing hamstring injury, so this is another tough break for the rookie. Because of his placement on injured reserve, Dixon won't play in 2026 even if he's able to heal up before the end of the season.Read More -

Jared Wilson: Bumping to center
Wilson will move from left guard to center in the upcoming 2026 season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Wilson started 13 games at left guard as a rookie third-round pick. Now, he'll move to center after the Patriots traded Garrett Bradbury to the Bears this offseason, meaning Wilson will snap the ball to high-school teammate Drake Maye in 2026.Read More

Kevin Huerter: Questionable for Friday
Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Friday, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports. Huerter managed to make his first appearance of the series Wednesday after missing time with a left adductor strain, but he logged only three minutes and recorded one assist. It's unclear how much the 27-year-old will be able to contribute if he's ultimately given the green light to suit up.Read More -

Caris LeVert: Iffy for Friday
LeVert (heel) is questionable for Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland. The veteran swingman has battled a right heel contusion throughout this series, but the issue hasn't stopped him from suiting up in any of Detroit's last five contests. Marcus Sasser could play an expanded role in the event that LeVert cannot play Friday, and Javonte Green would also be an option to rejoin the rotation.Read More -

Duncan Robinson: Game-time call for Game 6
Robinson (back) is questionable for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland on Friday, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports. Robinson was unable to go in Game 5 due to lower-back soreness, and he's back on the injury report of Friday's matchup. The Pistons will presumably monitor the sharpshooter closely in shootaround and warmups before issuing another update on his availability for Game 6.Read More

Kyle Schwarber: Homers again vs. Boston
Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox. After both starting pitchers dominated for most of the night, Schwarber finally broke the scoreless tie in the eighth inning with a two-run homer off Tyler Samaniego. The blast was his MLB-leading 18th of the season and extended his homer streak to seven long balls over his last seven games. Schwarber continues to be one of baseball's premier power bats, now carrying a .965 OPS and already compiling 1.5 WAR despite serving primarily as a designated hitter. Since 2022, the veteran slugger has not hit fewer than 38 home runs in a season, and he appears well on his way to clearing that mark again. Schwarber is now slashing .226/.355/.610 with seven doubles, 30 RBI and 30 runs scored across 197 plate appearances.Read More -

Jhoan Duran: Punches out three for seventh save
Duran earned the save Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing one walk while striking out three over a scoreless ninth inning. Duran was called upon with a two-run lead in the ninth inning and overpowered Boston's lineup, working around a walk to Masataka Yoshida by striking out three batters to secure his seventh save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander continues to succeed, allowing one run over his five appearances since returning from the injured list while recording multiple strikeouts in each. Duran now owns a 1.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings.Read More -

Ranger Suarez: Sharp in return start
Suarez did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5.1 scoreless innings. Making his first start since exiting his May 3 outing with hamstring tightness, Suarez looked strong in his return, generating eight strikeouts while limiting hard contact throughout. The left-hander was pulled after allowing a Bryce Harper single in the sixth inning despite sitting at just 76 pitches, likely with caution still in mind following the injury. Before the hamstring issue, Suarez had already been on a hot stretch, tossing six or more scoreless innings in three of his previous four starts. He now owns a 2.44 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 44.1 innings and is slated to face Kansas City next.Read More

M. Granlund Ducks F 
4 hours agoMikael Granlund: Scores on power play in loss
Granlund scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and went minus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. Granlund got the Ducks on the board in the second period, but that was it for their offense. The 34-year-old produced five goals, 10 points, 20 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-3 rating over 12 playoff outings. He's under contract for two more years and should be good for middle-six minutes in 2026-27 as a veteran presence who can help the Ducks' younger forwards take their next steps.Read More -

4 hours agoLukas Dostal: Can’t extend season
Dostal allowed five goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. Dostal was blitzed for three goals in the first period, but he stayed in at the start of the second. The Ducks simply didn't have an answer for the Golden Knights as this series progressed. Dostal ends the playoffs with a 6-6 record, a 3.54 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 12 games. The 25-year-old will be the Ducks' top netminder in 2026-27, though he will need the team's defense to improve in front of him.Read More -

Howden scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Ducks in Game 6. Howden netted his third shorthanded goal and eighth tally overall this postseason, and it stood as the series-clinching goal. The 28-year-old is up to 10 points, 20 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-6 rating over 12 playoff contests. He continues to feature in a top-six role and has delivered offense in line with that assignment.Read More
