Andrew Wylie WAS OTCommanders' Andrew Wylie: Clears concussion protocol
8h agoWylie (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 15 game against New Orleans.
Wylie missed Week 13 due to a concussion, but Washington's Week 14 bye has given him time to recover. The right tackle began the practice week with full participation and was then removed from the Commanders' injury report altogether Thursday. With no injury designation heading into the weekend, Wylie is set to resume his role as the team's starting right tackle.

Markees Watts TB LBBuccaneers' Markees Watts: Not returning to action Week 15
8h agoWatts (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's battle against the Chargers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Watts has been on IR since early October, though he was designated to return Nov. 27. His 21-day practice window closes this coming Tuesday, so Tampa Bay will need to either activate him by then or lose him for the remainder of the campaign. Watts was able to log a trio of full practices this week, so he at least appears to be making progress toward a return.

Tony Jefferson LAC SChargers' Tony Jefferson: Cleared to suit up Sunday
8h agoJefferson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 15 game versus Tampa Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson missed this past Sunday's loss to Kansas City, but he was able to log an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. As such, he's in line to return to action Sunday. With Los Angeles' starters in the secondary healthy, Jefferson will likely play primarily on special teams unless an injury ahead of him on the depth chart requires him to log more defensive work.
-
Cooper Beebe DAL CCowboys' Cooper Beebe: Won't be able to suit up Sunday
8h agoBeebe (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Beebe suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Monday's loss to the Bengals and was replaced at center by Brock Hoffman, who shifted over from right guard. Meanwhile, T.J. Bass entered off the bench to fill in at right guard for Hoffman. That will likely be the Cowboys' alignment again Sunday with Beebe unable to suit up.
-
Juanyeh Thomas DAL DBCowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Slated for another absence
8h agoThomas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 contest against Carolina, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Thomas hurt his knee against the Giants in Week 13 and missed this past Monday's loss to Cincinnati. He hasn't practiced at all since suffering the injury, so he didn't appear to be close to being able to suit up this week. Thomas has done most of his work on special teams this season, logging 236 snaps with the unit versus just 62 on defense over 11 games.
-
Riley Moss DEN CBBroncos' Riley Moss: Will miss Week 15 vs. Indy
8h agoMoss (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Moss will miss a second straight game after sitting out all three practices this week. The second-year cornerback suffered an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12, and with Denver having a quick turnaround ahead of a Thursday night game against the Chargers in Week 16, Moss's status for that contest is probably shaky, at best. Levi Wallace is likely in line for another start Sunday in Moss's absence.

Carson Fulmer LAA RPPirates' Carson Fulmer: Invited to Pirates' camp
10h agoFulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday and received an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Over a career-high 86.2 innings with the Angels last season, Fulmer logged a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 37 appearances (eight starts). If the right-hander is able to offer similar production during spring training, he could have a decent shot at making the Pirates' Opening Day roster, though it's unclear if Pittsburgh will prefer to use him as a starter or out of the bullpen.
-
Carson Kelly CHC CCubs' Carson Kelly: Signs with Cubs
11h agoKelly signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Cubs on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Over 91 games between Detroit and Texas in 2024, Kelly slashed .238/.313/.374 with nine home runs and 37 RBI. While his numbers may not jump off the stat sheet, he'll still give plenty of competition in spring training to Miguel Amaya, who managed just a .645 OPS last season.
-
Nick Raposo TOR CBlue Jays' Nick Raposo: Designated for assignment
13h agoThe Blue Jays designated Raposo for assignment Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Blue Jays claimed Raposo off waivers from St. Louis in early August, and he went on to slash .246/.361/.311 with five RBI over 20 games with Triple-A Buffalo. He'll be stripped of his 40-man roster spot to create room for Yimi Garcia, who officially signed a two-year deal with Toronto on Friday, though Raposo will likely remain with the club as organizational depth behind the plate.

Michael Fulmer BOS RPRed Sox's Michael Fulmer: Could be stretched out to start
14h agoRed Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Tuesday that Fulmer (elbow) could be used as a starting pitcher in 2025, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Fulmer missed the 2024 season while recovering from UCL revision surgery and has been used as a reliever almost exclusively since 2021. He was a starter in his first four big-league seasons, however, and while it's much likelier that he'll ultimately settle into a relief role, it doesn't hurt to stretch him out a bit to give the Red Sox options. Fulmer is expected to be ready for spring training.
-
Nestor Cortes MIL SPBrewers' Nestor Cortes: Elbow fully healed
15h agoBrewers general manager Matt Arnold said Friday that Cortes has had a "fully healthy offseason" after dealing with a flexor strain in his left elbow down the stretch of this past season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Arnold noted that the Brewers did extensive work on Cortes' medicals before acquiring him in the trade that sent Devin Williams to the Yankees and the team is confident the southpaw is healthy. Cortes held a 3.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 162:39 K:BB over a career-high 174.1 regular-season innings with the Yankees in 2024.
-
Cam Smith CHC 3B
Astros' Cam Smith: Sent to Houston in Tucker trade
15h agoThe Astros acquired Smith, Isaac Paredes and Hayden Wesneski from the Cubs on Friday in exchange for Kyle Tucker, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The 14th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Smith debuted in pro ball with a .313/.396/.609 slash line and seven home runs over 32 games across three levels. He finished the year at Double-A Tennessee and will likely begin the 2025 campaign at Double-A Corpus Christi, with a debut by late 2025 or 2026 possible.

Jared McCain PHI SG76ers' Jared McCain: Starts second half Friday
6h agoMcCain (concussion) finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers.
McCain was able to return to Friday's contest after being evaluated for a concussion, and while his output in the box score was muted, it's worth noting he started the second half for the injured Joel Embiid (face). The rookie first-rounder has shined when given the chance to be a member of the first unit this season, averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per game over eight appearances as a starter. If Embiid can't play in Monday's game against Charlotte, McCain would be a candidate to join the starting lineup and likely offer more fantasy upside if tasked with an enhanced role.
-
Kelly Oubre Jr. PHI SG76ers' Kelly Oubre: Logs third straight double-double
6h agoOubre recorded 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 13 rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to Indiana.
While it wasn't the most efficient outing scoring-wise, Friday marked Oubre's third straight game with a double-double, and he led the 76ers with 13 rebounds. Oubre has started nine consecutive contests for Philadelphia, a span in which he's averaging a solid 12.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per game. As long as Oubre sticks with the first unit, he should remain a strong source of steals for fantasy managers with the uptick in playing time.
-
Paul George PHI SF76ers' Paul George: Supplies full stat line Friday
6h agoGeorge chipped in 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers.
George supplied a full stat line for the 76ers on Friday, but he didn't step up much in the scoring column despite Joel Embiid (face) exiting in the first half. Across his past five outings, the 34-year-old star forward is averaging 17.6 points, 5.2 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers per game. George is still getting his legs back under him following several sporadic absences to begin the season, and fantasy managers should expect him to take on additional ball-handling responsibilities if Embiid remains sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Hornets.
-
Tyrese Maxey PHI PG76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Scores team-high 22 points
6h agoMaxey contributed 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers.
Although Maxey scored a team-high 22 points Friday, he committed a game-high six turnovers, with five of the giveaways coming in the first half of play. Over his last nine contests, Maxey is averaging 23.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.8 three-pointers per game. However, the All-Star guard is shooting a career-low 40.8 percent from the field over 17 games this year with all the added usage headed his direction on the injury-plagued 76ers. With Joel Embiid (face) suffering a sinus fracture in this one, Maxey's efficiency may not be ready to take a substantial jump until the superstar big man has a clean bill of health.
-
Obi Toppin IND PFPacers' Obi Toppin: Provides spark off bench in win
6h agoToppin ended Friday's 121-107 victory over the 76ers with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes.
Toppin provided a spark off the bench in small-ball lineups for the Pacers against a 76ers team that lost Joel Embiid (nose) in the first half, recording a season-high three steals and falling just one point shy of his season-high mark of 21 points set back during a Nov. 15 loss to the Heat. Toppin has been on a heater since the calendar turned to December, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game through his last six outings. The 26-year-old versatile forward is worth streaming in fantasy leagues while he's running hot from the second unit, but he would likely need an injury to a member of Indiana's frontcourt in order to gain more stable playing time.
-
Talen Horton-Tucker CHI SGBulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Struggles again Friday
6h agoHorton-Tucker amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Friday's 109-95 win over the Hornets.
Horton-Tucker produced a lot of nothing once again, continuing his recent slump. He has now scored a total of seven points in the last three games, shifting to a depth role as opposed to anything meaningful. At this stage, the Bulls would have to be dealing with multiple injuries for Horton-Tucker to have any chance of playing consistent minutes.
-
Nick Cousins OTT CSenators' Nick Cousins: Supplies two assists
8h agoCousins logged two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Cousins helped out on third-period tallies by Nick Jensen and Shane Pinto. The 31-year-old Cousins earned his second multi-point effort of the season, and he has four points over six games in December for his most productive month of the campaign. Overall, the veteran forward has eight points, 42 shots on net, 46 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 27 outings, primarily in a bottom-six role.
-
Michael Amadio OTT CSenators' Michael Amadio: Produces two assists
8h agoAmadio recorded two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Amadio had a hand in both of linemate Shane Pinto's goals in the contest. That duo, along with Nick Cousins, combined for six points in a game the Senators' third line controlled. Amadio has four helpers over six contests in December, an improvement on the eight-game slump he ended November with. Amadio is at eight points, 39 shots on net, 33 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 29 appearances this season.
-
Nick Jensen OTT DSenators' Nick Jensen: One of each in Friday's win
8h agoJensen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
The Senators' third line and second defensive pairing was on the ice for all three goals. Jensen helped out on a Shane Pinto goal in the second period and then scored one of his own in the third. With five points over six games in December, this has already been Jensen's best month of the campaign. He now has two goals, 13 points, 39 shots on net, 34 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 29 appearances. Jensen is one point shy of matching his total from 78 regular-season outings with the Capitals in 2023-24, and he's on pace for the first 30-point campaign of his career.
-
Shane Pinto OTT CSenators' Shane Pinto: Breaks out of slump
8h agoPinto scored twice on three shots, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Prior to Friday, Pinto had gone 15 straight games without a point, including 14 since he returned from an undisclosed injury that sidelined him in late October and early November. This could be the game that gets the center back on track. He now has three tallies, five points, 34 shots on net, 24 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 21 appearances. Pinto had a 20-goal season in 2022-23 and put up 27 points over just 41 appearances last year, so it's fair to think he can turn things around even if he remains on the third line.
-
Linus Ullmark OTT GSenators' Linus Ullmark: Shuts out Hurricanes
8h agoUllmark posted a 32-save shutout in Friday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
Ullmark is locked in right now, with four straight wins and just three total goals allowed in that span. This was his second shutout of the year and the 10th of his career. Ullmark improved to 9-7-2 with a 2.55 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 19 outings. Ullmark will likely get some well-earned rest Saturday against the Penguins -- expect Anton Forsberg to start the game. After that, the Senators begin a nine-game road trip in Seattle on Tuesday. They have three back-to-backs during their travels, so expect Ullmark to start roughly two out of every three games during the trip.

Pyotr Kochetkov CAR GHurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: On wrong side of shutout
8h agoKochetkov allowed two goals on 21 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Senators. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Kochetkov didn't get any help in this game, taking his third loss in five starts. The 25-year-old has allowed just two goals in each of the last two games, so he appears to be turning a corner in his performance, though the Hurricanes' offense hasn't been all that helpful lately with 13 goals scored over the last five contests. Kochetkov dropped to 12-5-0 with a 2.61 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Hurricanes' next game is Sunday versus the Blue Jackets.
