Clelin Ferrell SF DE49ers' Clelin Ferrell: Productive when called upon
2h agoFerrell finished the 2025 regular season with 24 tackles (13 solo) and 4.0 sacks in eight games played for the 49ers.
Ferrell was one of several reserve linemen asked to fill in the big shoes left by DE Nick Bosa's season-ending knee injury. The 28-year-old Ferrell's finest performance came in Week 13 when he posted 2.0 sacks and nine combined tackles against the Browns. The former No. 4 overall pick has shown some flashes of excellence during this brief run in San Francisco and also during his time as a starter with Washington in 2023. Ferrell -- an unrestricted free agent -- figures to draw interest from clubs this upcoming offseason who believe the defensive end is a late bloomer.

Kalia Davis SF DT49ers' Kalia Davis: New career high of 28 tackles
2h agoDavis finished the regular season with 28 tackles (10 solo), three passes defended and 0.5 sacks across 17 games played.
The third-year lineman appeared in every game for the 49ers this season after combining for just 16 games played over his previous two years in the league. Davis finished the season as a starter while setting a new high-water mark in combined tackles with 28. The UCF product will attempt to take another step forward in the final year of his rookie contract with the 49ers in 2026.

Jordan Elliott SF DT49ers' Jordan Elliott: One of many rotation pieces
3h agoElliott appeared in 16 games for the 49ers in 2025, finishing the regular season with 31 tackles (eight solo) and one pass batted down.
Elliott was one of several rotating pieces defensive coordinator Robert Saleh deployed on the interior of the defensive line in 2025. The veteran nose tackle failed to make an impact in fantasy, finishing with zero sacks for the second full season as a member of the 49ers. Elliot is set to become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason.

Sam Okuayinonu SF DT49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Another solid year as backup
3h agoOkuayinonu finished the 2025 regular season with 39 tackles (23 solo), 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble across 15 active games.
Okuayinonu signed a one-year contract to return to the 49ers and serve as a primary backup edge rusher. The 27-year-old was afforded some extra run following DE Nick Bosa's severe knee injury early in the campaign. Okuayinonu finished with numbers similar to his solid run as a reserve in 2024, so it wouldn't be surprising to see San Francisco bring back the unrestricted free agent for a third season in 2026.
-
Curtis Robinson SF LB49ers' Curtis Robinson: Role expands in injury-plagued year
3h agoRobinson recorded 42 tackles (19 solo) with one pass defended across 14 active games with the 49ers in 2025.
Fred Warner (ankle) headlined a list of injured linebackers that San Francisco was forced to play without in 2025. Robinson -- a career special teamer -- took advantage of the available defensive snaps and set a new career high in combined tackles (42). The 28-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so Robinson will have to re-sign with his current club if he wants to spend a sixth season on the 49ers' special teams unit.

Wyatt Teller CLE GBrowns' Wyatt Teller: Suggests he's done in Cleveland
4h agoTeller (calf) suggested Wednesday that he won't be re-signing with the Browns this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Teller is scheduled to hit the free-agent market next month and is the latest Browns player to hint that he'll be signing with a new team. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 Draft by the Bills, Teller was traded to the Browns in August of 2019 and was named to the Pro Bowl three times and a second-team All-Pro twice in his seven seasons with Cleveland. He figures to draw heavy interest in free agency.

Mitch Garver SEA CMariners' Mitch Garver: Inks minor-league deal with Seattle
4h agoThe Mariners signed Garver to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Garver spent the last two seasons with the Mariners serving as the team's backup catcher to Cal Raleigh. Garver will get a chance to reprise that role for the 2026 campaign, and he'll face competition from Jhonny Pereda and Andrew Knizner in spring training. Garver appeared in 87 regular-season games for Seattle in 2025 and slashed .209/.297/.343 with three steals, nine home runs and 30 RBI across 290 plate appearances.
-
Andy Weber ARI 2BWhite Sox's Andy Weber: Joins ChiSox on MiLB deal
5h agoWeber signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday.
Weber played 97 games with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate in 2025, slashing .310/.368/.434 with 43 RBI and 60 runs scored across 404 plate appearances. The 28-year-old infielder has yet to make his MLB debut, but a lack of talent on Chicago's big-league roster could allow him to make the jump this season if he continues to play well in the minors.
-
CJ Alexander LAD 3BAstros' CJ Alexander: Latches on with Astros
6h agoAlexander signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Tuesday.
Alexander spent nearly all of 2025 at Triple-A, slashing .254/.355/.450 across 462 total plate appearances with three organizations. He'll now begin the 2026 campaign in the Astros' farm system and is again likely to spend most of the year at Triple-A Sugar Land.

Gus Varland WAS RPNationals' Gus Varland: Healthy for spring training
6h agoVarland (undisclosed) faced live hitters during Wednesday's full-squad workout.
Varland didn't pitch after July 28 last season while tending to an undisclosed injury, but he's seemingly back to full health for spring training. The Nationals added Varland to their 40-man roster via a waiver claim in January and will give him the chance to compete for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. Over parts of two big-league seasons across stops with the White Sox, Brewers and Dodgers, Varland owns a 4.82 ERA and 47:24 K:BB over 46.2 innings.

Konnor Griffin PIT SS
Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Making team would be 'tough ask'
7h agoPirates manager Don Kelly said Wednesday that it "would be a tough ask" for Griffin to make the Opening Day roster, Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan reports.
Griffin is a 19-year-old with only 21 games of experience above A-ball, so cracking the Opening Day roster would indeed be a difficult leap. It's also not a surprise that Kelly is tamping down expectations for the top prospect this early in spring training. It should become clearer the deeper we get into camp as to whether Griffin has a real chance to head north with the big club. Griffin hit .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three levels in his first professional season in 2025.

Brendan Rodgers BOS 2BRed Sox's Brendan Rodgers: Healthy, competing for utility gig
7h agoRodgers (back) is fully healthy for the start of spring training and will compete for a utility role on the Red Sox's Opening Day roster, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.
After signing a one-year deal with the Astros last February, Rodgers was limited to just 43 games at the big-league level in 2025. He initially missed time due to an oblique strain, then was involved in a nasty on-field collision during a minor-league rehab assignment in July in which he sustained a concussion as well as back, knee and hip injuries. He was able to resume his rehab assignment in late August before being shut down after one game, but after a full offseason to heal up from his injuries, Rodgers looks to be back to 100 percent. A Gold Glove Award winner at second base with the Rockies in 2022, Rodgers will need to prove he can capably handle other infield positions during the spring in order to boost his chances of making the roster as a utility player.

Ja Morant MEM PGGrizzlies' Ja Morant: Out at least two more weeks
1h agoMorant is continuing to experience discomfort during his recovery from a UCL sprain in his left elbow, and he'll be reevaluated in two weeks, the Grizzlies announced.
Morant has been sidelined since Jan 21 due to a UCL sprain, and his recovery hasn't gone according to plan. Despite being almost a full month into the rehab process, Morant's elbow continues to be a source of pain. While Morant is absent, look for Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen to handle most of the point guard minutes. If Morant is cleared after 14 days, he could be back for a March 7 game against the Clippers.
-
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope MEM SFGrizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Undergoing surgery on pinky
1h agoCaldwell-Pope is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right pinky finger Wednesday.
Caldwell-Pope is expected to make a full recovery from his surgery, but the Grizzlies will wait until after the surgery to provide a timeline for the veteran's return. He has averaged 21.3 minutes per game this season while serving in a bench role, and those minutes will likely be absorbed by Taylor Hendricks, Ty Jerome and Jahmai Mashack for as long as Caldwell-Pope is sidelined.
-
Russell Westbrook SAC PGKings' Russell Westbrook: Good to go for Thursday
3h agoWestbrook (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against Orlando.
Westbrook missed the Kings' final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness. The veteran point guard has moved past the injury and will be a full-go for Thursday's contest. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, plenty of usage should be available for Westbrook going forward.
-
De'Andre Hunter SAC SFKings' De'Andre Hunter: Out Thursday
3h agoHunter (eye) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Hunter is battling a left eye injury that cost him the final three games before the All-Star break and will keep him sidelined coming out of the pause. It's unclear how close he is to returning, but his absence will likely mean more opportunities for Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.
-
Malik Monk SAC SGKings' Malik Monk: Ready to return Thursday
3h agoMonk (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Magic.
An illness sidelined Monk for the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break, but the veteran guard has been given the green light to return Thursday against Orlando. Monk averaged 15.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 3.2 threes over 24.0 minutes per game over his last nine outings prior to the ASB.
-
Nicolas Batum LAC PFClippers' Nicolas Batum: Good to go vs. Denver
3h agoBatum (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Batum did not play in either of the Clippers' two games prior to the All-Star break but will be available off the bench for Thursday's contest. The veteran forward has averaged 4.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.2 threes over 17.6 minutes per game since the start of the new year.
-
Tanner Howe PIT LW
Penguins' Tanner Howe: Pots pair of goals
1h agoHowe scored twice in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.
This was Howe's first multi-point effort of his AHL career. The 20-year-old forward has four points in six outings since he made his professional debut following knee surgery he underwent last April. Howe will likely spend the rest of this season and most or all of 2026-27 in the AHL at a minimum to continue his development.
-
Ville Koivunen PIT RWPenguins' Ville Koivunen: Tallies twice in AHL win
1h agoKoivunen scored twice in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.
Koivunen has four goals and six assists over his last five games. He's earned four multi-point efforts in that span. The Finnish forward is up to nine goals, 29 points and a plus-10 rating over 23 AHL appearances this season. He's also put up five points in 27 NHL contests and could be a candidate for a call-up later in the season.
-
Avery Hayes PIT RW
Penguins' Avery Hayes: Another hat trick in AHL play
1h agoHayes scored three goals in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.
Hayes has eight goals and an assist over six AHL outings in February. The forward could be a candidate to rejoin Pittsburgh after the Olympic break, especially if Sidney Crosby's leg injury costs him some time. Hayes has 19 goals and 30 points in 35 AHL contests this season.
-
Alec Regula EDM DOilers' Alec Regula: Set for conditioning stint
4h agoRegula was assigned to AHL Bakersfield on a conditioning stint Wednesday.
Regula will get up to two weeks to get some game action with the Condors. Prior to the Olympic break, the 25-year-old defenseman was scratched for 11 of 12 contests. He has three assists and a minus-16 rating over 29 appearances this season, so he could have a tough time getting into the Oilers' lineup if the team's blue line stays healthy.
-
Petr Mrazek ANA GDucks' Petr Mrazek: Out for season
5h agoMrazek underwent season-ending hip surgery Tuesday.
Mrazek's campaign with the Ducks ends with a 3-5-0 record, a 4.07 GAA and an .858 save percentage in 10 appearances. Given his lengthy injury history and the severity of a hip surgery, the 34-year-old goalie may not be ready to play at the start of the 2026-27 campaign. He'll likely also face reduced demand during free agency since he'll be coming off an injury and has seen performance decline in recent years.
-
Mitchell Marner LV RWGolden Knights' Mitch Marner: Plays hero in OT for Canada
5h agoMarner scored the overtime winner in Canada's 4-3 victory over Czechia in the Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals Wednesday.
It was the Vegas winger's first goal of the tournament, and it came in spectacular fashion -- Marner took a drop pass from Macklin Celebrini at his own blue line, built up a head of steam and split all three Czech skaters before flipped a backhand past Lukas Dostal. Marner is up to five points in four games for Canada during his first Olympics as the team heads into the semifinals.
