Brodric Martin LV DTBrodric Martin: Goes to waivers with injury
5h agoLas Vegas waived Martin (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday.
It's not immediately clear what kind of injury Martin suffered, but he'll now have to spend the entire 2026 season on IR unless he works out an injury settlement with the club. He appeared in just one game with Pittsburgh in 2025, logging 10 defensive snaps in Week 13 versus the Bills.

Nick Saldiveri NO GSaints' Nick Saldiveri: Going to reserve/PUP list
5h agoNew Orleans placed Saldiveri (knee) on its reserve/physically unable to perform list Tuesday.
Saldiveri is apparently still working his way back onto the field from the knee injury he suffered back in December of 2024. As it stands, he'll now have to miss at least the first four weeks of the 2026 campaign.

De'Von Achane MIA RBDolphins' De'Von Achane: Inks four-year, $68M extension
6h agoThe Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Achane was headed into the final year of his rookie deal, and new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley had been adamant that the talented running back is a building block of the future in Miami, even after the Dolphins shed salary this offseason. Achane's new deal will pay him $17 million per year in new money, making him the league's third-highest-paid running back behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Achane started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, totaling a career-high 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdown on 238 carries, averaging a league-high 5.8 yards per carry. He added 67 catches for 488 yards and four additional touchdowns on 85 targets in the passing game. Achane is still just 24 years old and figures to be a top-12 fantasy pick this season.

Christopher Smith NYJ SChris Smith: Waived from IR
6h agoThe Jets waived Smith (undisclosed) from their injured-reserve list with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Smith spent only a couple days on the Jets' injured-reserve list before parting ways with the team entirely. Unless he's claimed during the current waiver period, he's on track to become an unrestricted free agent.
-
Xavier Thomas HOU LBXavier Thomas: Gets waived with injury designation
6h agoHouston waived Thomas (undisclosed) with an injury designation Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Thomas is on track to revert to the Texans' injured reserve list. Then, he'd have to stay there for the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is negotiated with the club.
-
Benito Jones MIA DLRaiders' Benito Jones: Headed to Las Vegas
6h agoThe Raiders signed Jones (back) on Wednesday.
Jones appeared in 14 games with Miami in 2025, but he was shut down ahead of Week 17 with a back injury. Now, he's evidently in good shape for football activities again and is getting a shot with a new team. Las Vegas recently lost defensive tackle Leki Fotu to the Giants in free agency, and it's reasonable to suspect Jones could fill a similar role to the one Fotu left behind with the Raiders.
-
Ryan Feltner COL SPRockies' Ryan Feltner: Rehab assignment scheduled
13m agoFeltner (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Feltner threw around 35 pitches in a live batting practice session Wednesday, which marked his first time facing hitters since landing on the injured list. It's unclear how many rehab starts he'll require, but he should return in late May or early June.
-
Tristan Peters CHW LFWhite Sox's Tristan Peters: Two hits in win
16m agoPeters went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Royals.
Peters entered Wednesday's game hitless in five of his last six starts, but he contributed to a key rally in the second inning of the win. He drove in the White Sox's first run of the contest with a double and came around to score in the same frame. Peters remains the team's primary center fielder and is hitting .271 with four stolen bases across 107 plate appearances.
-
Ryan O'Hearn PIT 1BPirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Snaps homerless stretch
24m agoO'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rockies.
O'Hearn went yard in the sixth inning to tally his sixth home run of the season. It also marked his first long ball since April 28, a span of 12 games. During that stretch, O'Hearn hit only .191 with six RBI and six runs scored. Despite the slow stretch, he is still hitting .287 with 24 runs scored and 27 RBI across 43 games to this point in the campaign.
-
Antonio Senzatela COL SPRockies' Antonio Senzatela: Picks up third win
30m agoSenzatela (3-0) allowed one earned run on one hit and no walks while striking out two across 3.0 innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates.
Senzatela worked in relief of Jose Quintana in the fifth inning and allowed only a solo home run. Senzatela has been effective in a multi-inning relief role this season, turning in nine scoreless outings in 12 appearances while allowing multiple runs only once. He's also earned a win in consecutive appearances.
-
Yandy Diaz TB 1BRays' Yandy Diaz: Working through power outage
1h agoDiaz went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Toronto.
Diaz put forth his 11th multi-hit game of the season Wednesday and his second of the month of May thus far. The veteran infielder has been effective as Tampa Bay's full-time designated hitter in 2026, slashing .297/.375/.432 with 10 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, one stolen base and 20 runs scored across 176 plate appearances. Diaz is stuck in a bit of a power outage, having logged just two extra-base hits in his last 13 games.
-
Kyle Backhus PHI RPPhillies' Kyle Backhus: Begins throwing progression
1h agoBackhus (elbow) played catch Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Wednesday was the first time Backhus played catch since going on the injured list April 30 due to left elbow inflammation. The southpaw will continue his throwing program, barring any setbacks, and he could be an option for the Phillies at some point in late May or early June. Through 9.2 innings before getting hurt, Backhus posted a 4.66 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB.

James Harden CLE PGCavaliers' James Harden: Leads Cavs to overtime win
2h agoHarden finished with 30 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 11-14 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and three blocks across 43 minutes in Wednesday's 117-113 win over Detroit in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Harden has had his share of struggles throughout this series. However, the 36-year-old showed up in a big way in Game 5 to lead the Cavaliers to a much-needed win. It was his highest scoring output since March 19. With Cleveland one victory away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons will try to knot things up when these clubs meet again Friday.
-
Cade Cunningham DET SGPistons' Cade Cunningham: Scores 39 points with nine dimes
2h agoCunningham contributed 39 points (13-27 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 48 minutes during Wednesday's Game 5 overtime loss of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to Cleveland.
Cunningham is now tied with Isiah Thomas for the most 30-point games in a single playoff run in Pistons' franchise history, and he hit numerous clutch shots down the stretch to keep Detroit in the game. However, the Pistons came up short at home and now head back to Cleveland for a must-win Game 6 on Friday.
-
Daniss Jenkins DET PGPistons' Daniss Jenkins: Starting in Game 5
6h agoJenkins will start in Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
With Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out, Jenkins will start in Game 5. The 24-year-old started 19 times during the regular season, averaging 17.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.9 steals across 33.8 minutes in those appearances.
-
Caris LeVert DET SGPistons' Caris LeVert: Available for Game 5
6h agoLeVert (heel) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland.
LeVert had a massive 24-point effort in the 112-103 loss Monday. He was listed on the injury report because of a right-heel contusion, although he is now officially cleared to suit up. With Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out, LeVert should receive all the minutes he can handle behind Daniss Jenkins, who will start in Game 5.
-
Kevin Huerter DET SGPistons' Kevin Huerter: Available to play
6h agoHuerter (thigh) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with Cleveland.
Duncan Robinson (back) is out, so Huerter should be in the rotation, although he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. Huerter is averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 assists in 10.6 minutes per game this postseason.
-
Duncan Robinson DET SGPistons' Duncan Robinson: Ruled out Wednesday
6h agoRobinson (back) won't play in Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland.
Robinson has played well throughout most of this series, averaging 13.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.3 blocks and 2.5 steals while shooting 57.7 percent from deep across 32.5 minutes. However, the 32-year-old won't suit up for Game 5 because of lower-back soreness. Without Robinson in the equation, Daniss Jenkins, Kevin Huerter (adductor) and Caris LeVert (heel) should see more work.
-
Trent Miner COL GAvalanche's Trent Miner: Posts fourth playoff shutout
29m agoMiner recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Coachella Valley in Game 1 on Wednesday.
Miner has four shutouts and a 6-1 record over seven playoff games. He's been a nightmare for opponents this postseason, and he caught a break in this round after Coachella Valley upset Ontario to get here. Miner will look to keep the Eagles rolling with a spot in the Western Conference Finals on the line, meaning he won't be available as a depth option for the Avalanche any time soon.
-
Nico Sturm MIN CWild's Nico Sturm: Contributes two assists
41m agoSturm logged two assists, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
This was Sturm's first multi-point effort since Dec. 7, 2023. He ended the postseason at one goal, four assists, 10 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating over eight appearances. The Wild could experience some turnover at forward this offseason, but Sturm is under contract and will be in contention for bottom-six minutes if he remains with the team to start 2026-27.
-
Matt Boldy MIN LWWild's Matt Boldy: Provides pair of helpers
44m agoBoldy notched two assists, five shots on goal and three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Boldy was able to earn his fourth multi-point effort of the postseason, but the Wild's effort to keep their season alive still fell short. The winger had seven goals, six assists, 48 shots on net, 19 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 11 playoff contests. Boldy solidified his star status with a 42-goal, 85-point regular season, and he'll be a key part of the Wild's core moving forward.
-
Marcus Johansson MIN LWWild's Marcus Johansson: Strikes early in Game 5 loss
1h agoJohansson scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Johansson tallied just 34 seconds into the game, setting the early tone in the Wild's favor. That didn't last, as the Avalanche controlled the last two periods of regulation and completed their comeback in overtime. Johansson earned three goals in the second round and four goals with 18 shots on net, 21 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 11 playoff contests. The 35-year-old winger is one of eight pending unrestricted free agents at forward for the Wild. He impressed with 49 points over 75 regular-season outings, his best campaign since 2016-17, so he should have a decent market if Minnesota opts not to bring him back.
-
Nick Foligno MIN LWWild's Nick Foligno: Scores twice in season-ending loss
1h agoFoligno scored a pair of goals on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Foligno scored twice in the first period, but the Wild weren't able to maintain their early lead. The 38-year-old earned three points, 10 shots on net, 37 hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 playoff outings. He's set for unrestricted free agency this summer, but it's not year clear if the veteran winger will continue his career.
-
Jesper Wallstedt MIN GWild's Jesper Wallstedt: Blows lead in overtime loss
1h agoWallstedt stopped 30 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
The Wild charged out to a 3-0 lead after one period, but Wallstedt couldn't make it stick. That result eliminated Minnesota, though Wallstedt was largely successful with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage despite going 5-5 over 10 playoff contests. The 23-year-old netminder will be in a contract year in 2026-27, which is also the first season of Filip Gustavsson's five-year extension. The two make a formidable tandem, which will give Wallstedt appeal as a low-end fantasy No. 2 in drafts in the fall.
