Luke Keaschall Removed Early On Friday
Luke Keaschall (hand) was removed early during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Keaschall was hit on the hand by a pitch during the first inning of this contest. He stayed in to run the bases, but was replaced by Mickey Gasper at the designated hitter spot after that. The assumption is that Keaschall will undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury. The organization should give an update on his status shortly.Source: Dan Hayes
Minnesota Twins infielder Blake Snell Likely Avoids Major Injury
Blake Snell (shoulder) recently was shut down from throwing after experiencing discomfort in his shoulder. The southpaw underwent an MRI, but it didn't reveal anything new. That being said, the Dodgers plan to give Snell an injection to hopefully calm down the inflammation in his shoulder. After that, Snell will begin a throwing program before possibly doing a few rehab starts. It sounds like Snell has avoided any major injuries. His timetable to return is unclear, but the hope is that he'll return at some point in May.Source: Alden Gonzalez
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Cole Ragans Dealing With Mild Groin Strain
Cole Ragans (groin) was forced to exit early from Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies. On Friday, Royals' manager Matt Quatraro announced that Ragans is dealing with a mild groin strain. He continued by saying that Ragans feels better, but the team will monitor him over the next few days. It's unclear at the moment if Ragans will be able to take the ball against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. It sounds like he might be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but that all depends on how the next few days go for Ragans. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status over the next couple of days.Source: Jaylon Thompson
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Broncos Add RJ Harvey To Backfield With 60th Pick
RJ Harvey with the 60th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite moving back twice in the second round (via trades with the Panthers and Lions), Denver is still able to address a major position of need. In fact, the team previously made it known that they would select a running back at some point in the draft. Harvey was not viewed as a consensus Day 2 pick, but his upside is evident after he led the Big 12 with 6.8 yards per carry and 22 rushing touchdowns as a senior last year. He also tallied 1,577 rushing yards, 267 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns. The Broncos let Javonte Williams walk during free agency and will presumably give Harvey an opportunity to compete for the starting running back job over Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime.Source: Brandon Krisztal
The Denver Broncos have selected UCF running back Raiders Select Jack Bech With 58th Pick
Jack Bech with the 58th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Bech spent his first two collegiate seasons at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two years of eligibility. As a senior, he caught 62 passes for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. The Louisiana native does not possess game-changing speed, explosiveness, or separation skills, but he makes up for it with his physicality and hands. His ball skills and gritty style of play can make him an effective pass-catcher or blocker, which should allow him to compete for snaps right away. In Las Vegas, he'll presumably vie for the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker.Source: Jordan Schultz
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected TCU wide receiver Chargers Add Wide Receiver Tre Harris In Round 2
Tre Harris out of Ole Miss with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Harris worked well with new Giants QB Jaxson Dart in 2024, hauling in 60 catches for 1,030 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He missed five games with a lower-body injury. While he doesn't have the explosive speed or separation skills to be a true No. 1 WR, he has great strength and ball skills to be a reliable possession target. This is the second straight season the Bolts have added a wide receiver in Round 2, and now they'll look to pair Harris with last year's second-round pick, Ladd McConkey, to build a strong young receiving corps to work with Justin Herbert.Source: NFL.com
The Los Angeles Chargers snagged wide receiver Lions Acquire 57th Pick From Broncos

Seahawks Draft Elijah Arroyo 50th Overall
Elijah Arroyo with the 50th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Hurricanes but didn't register more than five catches until his senior year. As a senior, he broke out with 35 catches, 590 yards, and seven touchdowns. He has demonstrated a promising blend of speed, athleticism, and recognition when running his routes, and he has reliable hands when the quarterback throws a ball on the mark. He'll now be tasked with taking on a substantial role in the Seahawks' offense, which replaced Geno Smith with Sam Darnold during the offseason.Source: Ian Rapoport
The Seattle Seahawks have selected Miami tight end Panthers Acquire 51st Pick From Broncos

The Carolina Panthers have acquired the 51st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN's Field Yates. In full, eight picks are being swapped to complete this trade. Carolina acquired the 51st, 84th, 122nd, and 208th overall picks. Meanwhile, the Broncos received the 57th, 74th, 111th, and 230th selections. Carolina didn't possess its own second-round pick, so this will be their first selection of Day 2. On the opening night of the draft, they selected Arizona wide receiver Cardinals Snag Will Johnson At No. 47
Source: ESPN
The Arizona Cardinals have selected Michigan defensive back Will Johnson with the 47th overall pick during Friday's draft. Wow, well this could end up being a steal for the Cardinals as Johnson fell in the draft likely due to injury concerns. Johnson was viewed as a Day 1 prospect, but being limited to seven games last season probably hurt his draft stock. When healthy, Johnson has proven to be an elite zone coverage defensive back with good size and length. He finished his college career with 57 tackles, nine interceptions, and three returned touchdowns. Johnson should be a Day 1 starter and an immediate impact player on defense in Arizona.Jets Add A Pass-Catcher With Mason Taylor At No. 42
Mason Taylor out of LSU. The 20-year-old racked up 546 yards and two touchdowns in 2024, which was his most productive year in college. He looks the part of an NFL tight end and showed great hands by dropping just one of his 79 targets in 2024 after struggling with drops earlier in his career. His route tree expanded as the year went on, and he picked up more looks further down the field, although he was never a major deep threat. He has TE2 upside since there aren't many other options at the position for the Jets, and Justin Fields has shown that he likes to connect on shorter passes over the middle to his tight end.Source: NFL.com
The New York Jets added a solid pass-catching tight end in the second round by selecting Rams Select Terrance Ferguson With 46th Pick
Terrance Ferguson with the No. 46 pick in the second round of Friday's draft. On paper, this is a good upgrade for the Rams who needed another tight end alongside Tyler Higbee. Ferguson finished as Oregon's all-time leader among tight ends with 134 receptions and 16 touchdowns during his college career. This past season, Ferguson finished with a career-high 43 receptions and 591 receiving yards in 12 games. He's quick and agile enough to possibly be helpful for screens as well. Rams' head coach Sean McVay isn't scared to use his offensive players in unique ways, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Ferguson making an impact right away in Los Angeles.Source: ESPN
The Los Angeles Rams have selected Oregon tight end Texans Acquire 48th Pick From Raiders, Draft Aireontae Ersery

The Houston Texans have acquired the No. 48 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Las Vegas Raiders. In return, the Texans are sending the 58th and 99th picks back to the Raiders. Houston decided to spend its selection on Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery. A three-year starter at left tackle in college, Ersery will likely begin his NFL career on the right side of the offensive line. He'll be tasked with protecting Saints Snag Tyler Shough At No. 40
Tyler Shough near the top of the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, adding the QB from Louisville as the third quarterback off the board in the draft. The Saints took him ahead of Shedeur Sanders from Colorado, who continues to slide in the second round. Shough is an intriguing prospect who has the physical tools to be a traditional pocket passer. He was inconsistent, though, especially with his lower-body mechanics in his time at Louisville. He has more experience than most draft picks as a seven-year college prospect and will turn 26 during the first month of the season. Even though he isn't a long-term development project, Shough could help the Saints in the short term since Derek Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury, and his availability for 2025 is uncertain.Source: NFL.com
The Saints drafted quarterback Brenton Doyle Out For Personal Reasons On Friday
Brenton Doyle (personal) is out of Friday's starting lineup against the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Coors Field due to personal reasons, according to The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders. With Doyle out, Mickey Moniak is in center field and will hit sixth against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. It's worth noting that Doyle was recently on the bereavement list, but he was activated earlier this week and went 1-for-6 with a run scored and a stolen base in the team's doubleheader on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. The 26-year-old also missed some time with a quadriceps injury and hadn't played since April 16. When he's in the lineup, Doyle is a must-start fantasy player with the ability to contribute in all categories. Moniak has a hit in two career at-bats against Abbott, but we'd suggest passing on him in a lefty-lefty matchup for DFS purposes.Source: The Denver Post - Patrick Saunders
Colorado Rockies center fielder Bears Draft Luther Burden In Round 2

Bills Move Up To 41st Pick In Trade With Bears

The Buffalo Bills have traded up to the 41st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. In full, Buffalo acquired the 41st, 72nd, and 240th picks from the Chicago Bears in exchange for the 56th, 62nd, and 109th picks. The Bills drafted cornerback Maxwell Hairston with their own pick in the first round Thursday, and now they're making an aggressive trade to move up in the second round. The deal also arms Chicago with two new second-round picks, plus a fourth-round selection. The Bears have been very devoted to improving their offense so far, selecting Michigan tight end Patriots Add TreVeyon Henderson To The Backfield At Pick No. 38
The Patriots selected running back TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State near the start of the second round with the No. 38 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Last year, Henderson helped lead the Buckeyes to theread more...
Dolphins Acquire 37th Pick From Raiders, Draft Jonah Savaiinaea
Source: Las Vegas Raiders
The Miami Dolphins have selected Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea with the 37th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Miami acquired this pick, along with the 143rd overall selection, from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for the 48th, 98th, and 135th picks. Savaiinaea impressed at the combine and was one of the top remaining interior linemen available at this point in the draft. Miami will presumably deploy him at guard, though he does have some experience at tackle, too. Regardless of where he plants his hand, Savaiinaea should be able to provide major support in the trenches after the Dolphins lost Terron Armstead to retirement this offseason.Browns Add Quinshon Judkins To Backfield With 36th Pick
The Cleveland Browns selected Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins with the 36th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This was Cleveland's third selection of the draft, but the first they spent on an offensive player.read more...
Seahawks Acquire 35th Pick From Titans, Select Nick Emmanwori
Source: Field Yates
The Seattle Seahawks have selected South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori with the 35th pick in the NFL Draft. This pick originally belonged to the Tennessee Titans but was flipped to Seattle in a trade while Tennessee was on the clock Friday night. In exchange for the 35th pick, Seattle sent the 52nd and 82nd picks back to the Titans. Emmanwori totaled 88 tackles (including three tackles for loss) and four interceptions through 13 games during his final collegiate season. He is a physical playmaker known for his skillful tackling and ability to disrupt plays. His good downfield speed makes him a candidate to start immediately on defense.Texans Select Jayden Higgins 34th Overall
Jayden Higgins with the 34th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Houston obtained this pick from the New York Giants, who previously moved up to select Jaxson Dart in Round 1. After four wide receivers were drafted in the first round of the draft Thursday night, Higgins became the first receiver selected in the second round Friday. He caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns during his final collegiate season. Known for his large wingspan and outstanding ball skills, Higgins could contribute right away with the Texans. Houston lost Stefon Diggs via free agency this offseason, and they'll likely open the 2025 season without Tank Dell (knee) as he recovers from a torn ACL. Higgins will have a chance to earn reps in three-receiver sets alongside Nico Collins and offseason addition Christian Kirk.Source: NFL
The Houston Texans selected Iowa State wide receiver Brandin Podziemski Not On Injury Report For Game 3
Brandin Podziemski (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. Ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 of the series, Podziemski was a late addition to the report due to a stomach bug. He was upgraded from questionable to available shortly before the game started, but Podziemski logged only 14 minutes of playing time, going 0-for-5 from the field. Having Podziemski back at 100 percent would be a big boost for the Warriors. The 22-year-old sophomore began the playoffs with an impressive performance, recording 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals during a 95-85 victory in Game 1.Source: NBA Injury Report
Golden State Warriors guard Warriors Optimistic About Jimmy Butler III Playing Saturday
Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) has officially been listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets on Saturday. On Friday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that "there's a chance he plays" after the veteran forward suffered a hard fall in Wednesday's Game 2. "I'm relatively optimistic," Kerr said. "I mean, Jimmy is Jimmy. We know he's willing to play through anything, so we'll see. I mean, this is a day-to-day thing for sure, and we'll see how he feels tomorrow, but I think there's a chance he plays." Jonathan Kuminga is expected to fill most of Butler III's minutes if he can't play on Saturday.Source: ESPN
Golden State Warriors forward Jae'Sean Tate To Remain Out Saturday
Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors. The versatile veteran will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game due to an ankle injury. Tate averaged only 11.3 minutes per game over 52 regular-season contests and is not expected to have a regular role in the rotation during the playoffs. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has mainly relied on Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, and Steven Adams to generate production off the bench.Source: NBA Injury Report
Houston Rockets forward Jock Landale Unavailable For Game 3
Jock Landale (knee) will remain absent on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. He was seen going through drills and moving well during Friday's practice, but the team has ruled him out for a third consecutive contest. Landale's next opportunity to return will be on Monday night. However, even if he is back in the lineup, Landale is not expected to have a significant role in the rotation with Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams healthy.Source: NBA Injury Report

Terry Rozier Out On Saturday
Terry Rozier (ankle) will remain sidelined for Saturday's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sprained his left ankle at the start of the week and was unable to participate in Friday's practice. Even if he returns to the lineup for Game 4, it is not guaranteed that Rozier will see any minutes, as he has been a major disappointment for Miami this season. Duncan Robinson and Pelle Larsson filled the backup guard minutes in Wednesday's Game 2 after Davion Mitchell moved into the starting lineup.Source: NBA Injury Report
Miami Heat point guard Jrue Holiday Ruled Out For Friday Night's Game 3 Against Orlando
Jrue Holiday (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday night's Game 3 against the Orlando Magic. Holiday appears to have strained his hamstring during Game 2 as he hasn't been listed on the injury report prior to today. The 34-year-old hasn't been putting up many points this series but has been facilitating well with five assists in Game 1 and six assists in Game 2. In Holiday's absence, veteran big man Al Horford will get the start. Horford also got the start in Game 2 filling in for the injured Jayson Tatum and put up nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds. With Tatum back in the lineup Horford may not grab 10 rebounds again, but he should be able to provide some small value to fantasy managers and DFS players looking to take a shot.Source: Boston Celtics
Boston Celtics guard Kevin Love To Miss Saturday's Game
Kevin Love (personal) will miss Saturday's Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran big man, who won the championship with the Cavaliers in 2016, remains away from the team for personal reasons. Miami's frontcourt has relied heavily on Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware recently, while Nikola Jovic also re-entered the rotation in Game 2, scoring 11 points and grabbing eight rebounds off the bench. Jovic played six more minutes than Ware and may have a significant role to fill again on Saturday.Source: NBA Injury Report
