Omer Yurtseven Cleared To Suit Up On Sunday
Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven (nose) is available for Sunday's playoff contest against Boston. The 24-year-old has seen only four minutes of action during the postseason, so he probably will continue to sit unless Cody Zeller (nose) misses time. However, Zeller is good to go for Game 3, meaning Yurtseven offers nothing to DFS managers.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, elbow) threw from 120 feet on Friday. The 30-year-old tossed from 90 feet on Wednesday, so he's moving in the right direction.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. This move is procedural, as he was already on the 10-day IL because of a right forearm fracture suffered during Spring Training. The 28-year-old had a down year in 2022, finishing with a .211 average with 71 strikeouts, so the update isn't […]
