Khalil Dinkins SF TE49ers' Khalil Dinkins: Placed on NFI list
17h agoThe 49ers placed Dinkins (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Saturday.
It's unclear what issue Dinkins is working through, but since he was placed on the active NFI list, he is eligible to practice and play in preseason games once fully healthy. He signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in late April following a four-year collegiate career at Penn State.

Deven Eastern SEA DTSeahawks' Deven Eastern: Lands on PUP list
17h agoThe Seahawks placed Eastern (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
A seventh-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Eastern had missed parts of minicamp and OTAs due to an unspecified injury. By being placed on the PUP, Eastern is eligible to be activated at any time during training camp once he's fully healthy. The nature of the Minnesota product's injury might become more clear once the Seahawks conduct their first practice of training camp July 25.

Tahj Brooks CIN RBBengals' Tahj Brooks: Competing for RB2 role
2d agoBrooks will compete against Samaje Perine in training camp for the No. 2 running back role behind Chase Brown, Michael Hull of the Bengals' official site reports.
Brooks was a sixth-round selection of the Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft and spent most of his rookie campaign as a contributor on special teams while operating behind both Brown and Perine in the backfield. Brooks figures to see continued work on special teams in 2026, but he'll have the opportunity to push Perine out for the RB2 role in training camp and the preseason. Brooks turned 16 carries into 45 yards and added a nine-yard catch across 16 regular-season games in 2025 while also gaining 258 yards on 10 kickoff returns.

Davis Mills HOU QBTexans' Davis Mills: Set for QB2 duties again
2d agoMills is expected to reprise his role as the Texans' backup quarterback behind C.J. Stroud and ahead of Graham Mertz for the 2026 season, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.
Mills has served as the Texans' QB2 for each of the past two seasons, but he started in three games during the 2025 season while Stroud was sidelined due to a concussion. Mills led the Texans to wins in all three of his starts, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception while turning seven carries into 38 yards and a score in that span. Stroud hasn't had the same kind of production over the past two years as he did in his rookie campaign in 2023, and he committed seven turnovers across Houston's two playoff games. If Stroud has a slow start to the 2026 season, then that could be enough for head coach DeMeco Ryans to turn the keys to the offense over to Mills.
-
Ethan Pocic CLE GRavens' Ethan Pocic: Joining Ravens on one-year deal
2d agoPocic is signing a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million with the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Friday.
Pocic is reportedly healthy after tearing his Achilles in October. The veteran center made 57 regular-season starts for the Browns over the previous four campaigns after starting 40 games for the Seahawks across the preceding five regular seasons.

Calvin Austin III NYG WRGiants' Calvin Austin: Jostling for opportunities at WR
2d agoAustin is competing for playing time in a Giants wide-receiver room that also includes Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (abdomen), Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Odell Beckham, Alex Smith of SNY.tv reports.
Austin appears to be running ahead of at least Smith-Schuster and Beckham, both of whom were brought in to bolster the team's wide-receiver depth in camp while Nabers and Slayton are sidelined. Mooney is expected to play primarily in the slot and Fields is a rookie third-round pick, so Austin has a clear path to playing time early in the season if Nabers takes time to ramp up in his recovery from a torn ACL that was surgically repaired Oct. 28.

Salvador Perez KC CRoyals' Salvador Perez: Blasts 12th homer
5m agoPerez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over San Diego.
Perez sent an elevated fastball over the center-field fence for a two-run homer to extend Kansas City's lead in the sixth inning. It marked the veteran's second homer of July, as he's hitting .286 with an .864 OPS, nine RBI and four runs scored across 11 games this month. Overall, Perez is slashing .211/.253/.351 with 12 homers, 39 RBI and 33 runs scored across 91 contests this season.
-
Lane Thomas KC CFRoyals' Lane Thomas: Crushes two-run homer Saturday
11m agoThomas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres.
Thomas crushed a hanging breaking ball from Griffin Canning for a two-run homer to kick off the scoring in the first inning. The outfielder has now gone yard in back-to-back games coming out of the All-Star break and has been hot in July, slashing .340/.400/.740 with four homers, 11 RBI and nine runs across 13 contests. Thomas' season marks sit at .243/.342/.423 with nine homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs and four stolen bases over 84 games.
-
Kevin McGonigle DET SSTigers' Kevin McGonigle: Doubles, scores twice in win
12m agoMcGonigle went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Angels.
Like he did throughout the first half of the season, McGonigle served as an effective offensive catalyst for the Tigers Saturday night in Los Angeles. The rookie infielder now has a .389 on-base percentage, which is good for ninth in the majors. McGonigle also has 60 walks versus only 59 strikeouts through 95 games, and his good eye at the plate along with his strong contact skills should make the 21-year-old a fairly reliable fantasy option the rest of the way.

Martin Perez ATL SPBraves' Martin Perez: Likely to rejoin rotation this week
17m agoManager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Perez (forearm) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list during Atlanta's four-game home series with San Diego that begins Monday, MLB.com reports.
The lefty appears most likely to slot back into the rotation Wednesday, which would afford ace Chris Sale an extra day of rest for his next start. Perez has been on the shelf since July 6 due to a left forearm contusion, but he's seemingly made good progress in his recovery from the bruise and doesn't look like he'll require a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The 35-year-old doesn't miss many bats (18.6 K%, 22 percent whiff rate), but he's been able to maintain a 3.54 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 81.1 innings by generating groundballs at a healthy 47.7 percent clip.

Carlos Cortes ATH RFAthletics' Carlos Cortes: Tallies two extra-base hits in win
18m agoCortes went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, an additional RBI, an additional run scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Nationals.
Cortes ripped an RBI double in the first inning before adding a solo homer in the seventh frame as part of the Athletics' offensive explosion. After a dreadful June at the plate, the outfielder has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with four extra-base hits (one homer), three RBI and five runs across nine games in July. Overall, Cortes is slashing .283/.360/.448 with seven homers, 25 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base across 75 contests in 2026.

Khristian Curtis PIT SPPirates' Khristian Curtis: Heads back to Triple-A
23m agoThe Pirates optioned Curtis to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
The right-hander received his first promotion to the big leagues Saturday and made his MLB debut in Game 2 of the doubleheader in Cleveland with five scoreless innings of bulk relief. Curtis should have a better chance of returning to the majors later this summer now that he's on the 40-man roster, though his 4.96 ERA in 18 appearances between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year could be a limiting factor, even with his strong performance Saturday.

Moussa Cisse DAL CMavericks' Moussa Cisse: Sticking around in Dallas
10h agoCisse will return to the Mavericks after Dallas matched the two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet he received from the Knicks on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Dallas wasted little time matching the Knicks' offer to keep Cisse in the fold, though the 6-foot-11 center will now occupy a standard roster spot after serving as a two-way player as a undrafted rookie in 2025-26. He appeared in 38 games at the NBA level last season, shooting 57.4 percent from the field while averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game. Cisse may have a tough time cracking the rotation with regularity in 2026-27 if Dereck Lively (foot) and Daniel Gafford are fully healthy. The Mavericks also acquired Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson earlier in the offseason and could also look to incorporate them at center.

Markquis Nowell NBADRAFT PGPelicans' Markquis Nowell: Dishes out six assists in SL loss
11h agoNowell notched 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two steals and one rebound across 31 minutes in Saturday's 91-73 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
Nowell wasn't very efficient but still finished as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer. Additionally, the 26-year-old point guard dished out a team-high six assists. He reached the 20-point mark in two of his five Las Vegas Summer League appearances, reaching double figures in three of those outings.
-
Jalen Slawson IND SFPacers' Jalen Slawson: Another strong SL outing
11h agoSlawson finished Saturday's 91-73 Summer League win over the Pelicans with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.
As he's done for much of the Summer League, Slawson made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He scored 10 of his team-high 22 points in the fourth quarter while also leading the Pacers with five stocks. Slawson appeared in only 13 regular-season games for Indiana in 2025-26 but averaged 23.9 minutes per contest. He could carve himself out a consistent role in the Pacers' rotation for 2026-27 if he extends his strong Summer League play into training camp and the preseason.
-
Micah Peavy NO SFPelicans' Micah Peavy: Remains sidelined Saturday
11h agoPeavy (rest) didn't play in Saturday's 91-73 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
Peavy sat out the Pelicans' Summer League finale, marking his third straight game on the sidelines. The 25-year-old forward averaged 4.3 points in 15.0 minutes per game across 61 regular-season appearances (four starts) in his rookie campaign, and he'll likely continue playing a relatively consistent role off the bench in 2026-27.
-
CJ Huntley PHO PFSuns' CJ Huntley: Ruled out for Saturday
11h agoHuntley (hamstring) is out for Saturday's Las Vegas Summer League finale versus the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Huntley will miss Phoenix's final three games in Las Vegas. He'll have plenty of time to rest before training camp opens in September.
-
Tarris Reed Jr. SA CSpurs' Tarris Reed: Won't suit up Saturday
11h agoReed (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Reed will hit the inactive list for the Spurs' Summer League finale. The rookie first-rounder will finish the Las Vegas Summer League with averages of 7.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 23.1 minutes per game across three outings.
-
Connor Bedard CHI CBlackhawks' Connor Bedard: Signs five-year contract
17h agoBedard (shoulder) signed a five-year, $75 million contract with Chicago on Saturday.
Bedard amassed 30 goals, 75 points and 226 shots on net in 69 games during the 2025-26 regular season. It was the final year of his entry-level contract, and he earned a significant pay increase. The 21-year-old forward will miss the start of the 2026-27 campaign after having surgery on his left shoulder. He suffered the injury while practicing in Vancouver on July 2 and underwent the procedure six days later. Bedard is expected to need four months to recover. Once he is back in the lineup, he will center the top line and occupy a spot on the first power-play unit.
-
Jamie Drysdale PHI DFlyers' Jamie Drysdale: Inks four-year contract
2d agoDrysdale signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Flyers on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Drysdale was a restricted free agent who would have gone to arbitration if he had been unable to agree to terms with Philadelphia. He had eight goals, 32 points, 33 PIM, 16 hits and 94 blocks in 78 regular-season outings with the Flyers in 2025-26. The 24-year-old matched his previous career high of 32 points from the 2021-22 regular season. He should serve in a top-four capacity and receive significant power-play minutes next season, which puts him in a great position to get at least 30 points again if he stays healthy.
-
Kirby Dach MON CCanadiens' Kirby Dach: Gets one-year deal
3d agoDach signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Canadiens on Thursday.
Dach had eight goals, 15 points, 31 PIM and 53 hits in 37 regular-season outings with Montreal in 2025-26. The 25-year-old has struggled to live up to his potential as a top-six power forward, and his lengthy injury history has certainly been part of the problem. He might surpass his career high of 38 points if he stays relatively healthy this campaign, but he's played in fewer than 60 games in each of the past four regular seasons.
-
Connor McMichael STL CBlues' Connor McMichael: Inks six-year contract
3d agoMcMichael signed a six-year, $40.5 million contract with the Blues on Thursday.
McMichael was a restricted free agent after completing his two-year, $4.2 million contract. St. Louis acquired him from Washington on June 23 as part of the trade that sent Jordan Kyrou to the Capitals. The 25-year-old McMichael had 14 goals and 46 points in 78 regular-season appearances with Washington in 2025-26, which was down from 26 goals and 57 points in 82 outings during the 2024-25 regular season. He's expected to open the upcoming campaign in a middle-six capacity and should receive some power-play ice time.
-
Jakub Skarek SJ GJakub Skarek: Headed for Germany
3d agoSkarek inked a one-year contract with DEL club Straubing on Thursday.
Skarek played in two NHL games for the Islanders back in 2024-25, going 0-1-0 with a 3.95 GAA and an .872 save percentage. At 26 years of age, the door isn't completely closed on Skarek eventually returning to the NHL, but he will certainly face an uphill battle to make it back.
-
Trevor Zegras PHI CFlyers' Trevor Zegras: Earns four-year contract
4d agoZegras signed a four-year, $36.5 million contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.
Zegras is coming off a career year after posting 26 goals and 67 points in 81 regular-season games in 2025-26. The 25-year-old forward is expected to continue filling a top-six role with a spot on the first power-play unit in 2026-27. Zegras should continue to be a reliable fantasy forward regardless of if he's able to stick at center or ultimately moves to the wing later in the contract.
