Cam Sims CAR WRPanthers' Cam Sims: Moved to reserve/PUP list
34m agoThe Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Sims had previously been placed on the active/PUP list, and in moving to the reserve/PUP list, he now won't count as part of the Panthers' 90-man roster. Carolina will have until cut-down day to determine if the wideout will be activated or remain on the reserve/PUP list, in which case he'd need to sit out the first four games of the campaign. Sims had been looking to vie for a roster spot in training camp after signing with Carolina on a reserve/future contract in January.

Ricky Pearsall SF WR49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Making recovery progress
1h 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
2h 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
2h 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.
-
Connor Joe PIT 1BPirates' Connor Joe: Out of lineup Friday
35m agoJoe is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.
After falling into a short-side platoon role, Joe started in four of the Pirates' six games following the All-Star break. However, he will be idle Friday against right-hander Zac Gallen. With Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list, Joe could see a minor bump in playing time in the short-term. In 317 plate appearances, Joe is slashing .243/.328/.389 with seven home runs.
-
Ryne Stanek SEA RPMets' Ryne Stanek: Headed to Big Apple
37m agoThe Mariners traded Stanek to the Mets on Friday for Rhylan Thomas, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Stanek's spot in Seattle's bullpen was in jeopardy after the Mariners acquired Yimi Garcia from the Blue Jays earlier Friday, and the former will now call New York his new home. Stanek has struggled in his eight outings in July, allowing five runs on five hits and six walks and striking out eight over 5.2 innings while registering two blown saves and a loss. Across his 46 outings for the season, Stanek has a 4.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 15 holds and seven saves across 39 innings. The 33-year-old right-hander will provide depth out of the Mets' bullpen and figures to be the second closer behind Edwin Diaz.
-
Alex Cobb SF SPGiants' Alex Cobb: Could return next week
1h agoCobb (hip/shoulder) is scheduled to throw five innings for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday in what is expected to be his final rehab start, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Friday's rehab start will be Cobb's sixth as part of his recovery from an offseason hip surgery and midseason shoulder soreness. If all goes well in the outing, Cobb would be in line to pitch Wednesday against the Athletics, a move that would push Jordan Hicks to the bullpen. Cobb has yielded five runs with a 20:5 K:BB across 16.1 minor-league innings.
-
Charlie Blackmon COL DHRockies' Charlie Blackmon: Resting versus LHP
1h 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
1h 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
1h 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.
-
Trey Jemison MEM CPelicans' Trey Jemison: Headed to New Orleans
3h 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.
-
Kessler Edwards SAC SFMavericks' Kessler Edwards: Headed to Dallas
5h agoThe Mavericks signed Edwards to a two-way contract Friday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
Edwards received a minimal role for Sacramento in 2023-24, averaging just 5.1 minutes across 54 regular-season appearances. In Dallas, Edwards is now set to split time between the Mavericks and their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.
-
David Duke Jr. SA PGSpurs' David Duke: Inks deal with San Antonio
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.
-
Patrik Laine CLB RWBlue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Cleared from Assistance Program
8h 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. He has requested a trade out of Columbus and should find a new home before the start of training camp.
-
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.
-
Josh Currie OTT C
Josh Currie: Bound for Germany
