18m agoWard (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Ward recorded four total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, potentially leaving the contest a little worse for wear. The cornerback dealt with a knee issue earlier this season and he'll look to return to practice ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Seahawks.

Warner led the 49ers in tackles in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, recording 12 takedowns against Arizona.

Freddie Freeman LAD 1BDodgers' Freddie Freeman: Status unknown for Game 3
2h agoFreeman (ankle) is receiving treatment Monday, and his availability for Tuesday's Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres is uncertain at this time, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Freeman went down with a right ankle injury during Sunday's game and was forced to exit. The team is hopeful that he'll be able to take the field for Game 3 after getting treatment, but his status will likely remain unknown until closer to first pitch.

Dylan Cease SD SPPadres' Dylan Cease: Game 4 on short rest possible
4h agoPadres manager Mike Shildt on Monday didn't dismiss the possibility of Cease starting Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Dodgers on short rest, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Martin Perez was added to the roster as an injury replacement for Joe Musgrove (elbow) and would seem to be the other logical option for a Game 4 start. Whether the Padres win Game 3 could factor into Shildt's decision. If the Padres do opt for Cease on three days' rest in Game 4, they could turn back to Yu Darvish on normal rest for a potential Game 5.

Luis Gil NYY SPYankees' Luis Gil: Available in relief for ALDS
5h agoYankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil will be available out of the bullpen in the ALDS but will rejoin the rotation for the ALCS, should the team advance, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Clarke Schmidt was the choice for the Game 3 start over Gil, but it sounds like Gil would re-enter the rotation for a potential ALCS even if Nestor Cortes (elbow) winds up being available. Boone noted that he'll be flexible with what kind of relief role Gil fills in the ALDS, as it could be anything from bulk relief to high-leverage, one-inning situations.
-
Clarke Schmidt NYY SPYankees' Clarke Schmidt: Gets nod for ALDS Game 3
6h agoYankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Schmidt will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
He's the choice over Luis Gil, who will be available in relief for the ALDS. A right lat strain limited Schmidt to just 16 starts and 85.1 innings this season, but he was terrific when healthy, collecting a 2.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 93:30 K:BB. Schmidt is expected to be opposed in Game 3 by Seth Lugo.
-
Nestor Cortes NYY SPYankees' Nestor Cortes: Throwing again Monday
6h agoCortes (elbow) played catch Monday for the second day in a row, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Cortes' session of catch Sunday was his first since being diagnosed with a left elbow flexor strain in late September, and the fact that he was back out there to throw again a day later is a good sign. The southpaw is hopeful to pitch in the ALCS if the Yankees are able to advance, but he still has numerous hurdles to clear before making that a reality.
-
Kyle Isbel KC CFRoyals' Kyle Isbel: Absent from Game 2 lineup
6h agoIsbel is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Yankees.
The left-handed-hitting Isbel will grab as seat as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Garrett Hampson is covering center field and batting ninth for the Royals.

Wendell Carter Jr. ORL CMagic's Wendell Carter: Inks three-year extension
6m agoCarter (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $59 million contract extension with the Magic on Monday, ESPN Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania reports.
Carter is expected to play a sizable role this season in Orlando's frontcourt, and this deal only confirms the confidence the team has in the 25-year-old. The Duke product is looking to bounce this season after a down 2023-24 campaign, averaging 11.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 made threes in 55 regular-season appearances.

Alex Ducas OKC SGThunder's Alex Ducas: Back in action Monday
24m agoDucas (hip) checked in during the fourth quarter of Sunday's preseason contest against the Spurs, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
Ducas suffered a left hip sprain in early July, which caused him to sit out of the Summer League. The 23-year-old out of Saint Mary's signed a two-way deal with the Thunder in late June after not being chosen in the 2024 NBA Draft. Ducas will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 regular season with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue.

Ja Morant MEM PGGrizzlies' Ja Morant: Heads back to locker room again
35m agoMorant went back to the locker room in the beginning of the third quarter during Monday's preseason matchup against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Morant rolled his ankle in the second quarter and limped back to the locker room before eventually reentering the game. However, the superstar came down wincing after a dunk and committed an intentional foul to exit the contest once again. It is unclear whether Morant will return, but it's likely that he'll be done for the night and the club will take an extended look at Scotty Pippen and John Konchar. If Morant's night is done, he'll end the game with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Back in action
1h agoMorant (ankle) has returned to Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
This is great news for the Grizzlies, as it's unlikely Morant would be back in the game if there was any chance he had suffered a serious injury. Even so, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Memphis take it easy with the star point guard in terms of playing time the rest of the way Monday.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Leaves game with ankle injury
1h agoMorant left in the second quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Morant rolled his right ankle while getting back on defense, and he limped to the locker room shortly thereafter. If he's done for the night, Morant will finish with six points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 10 minutes. Scotty Pippen, Luke Kennard and John Konchar should see more minutes off the bench in Morant's absence.
-

2h agoCollins is not in the starting five for Monday's preseason matchup against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

2h agoVlasic (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia.
