Edgecombe Leads Rookie-Driven Sixers Past Short-Handed Pacers

Without Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Indiana Pacers 105-94, aided by breakout rookie VJ Edgecombe who posted 16 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Philadelphia also shook up its roster by waiving Cam Payne and signing Dalen Terry to a standard contract as they navigate late-season rotation and postseason prep. Maxey battled through a finger injury but returned, and Indiana rested most of its regulars, making this a stress-free win for the Sixers that underscored Edgecombe's development and the team's evolving depth.

Suzuki Returns as Cubs DFA Carlson to Clear Roster Space

The Cubs activated Seiya Suzuki from the injured list after his knee sprain from the World Baseball Classic and designated Dylan Carlson for assignment to clear space; Phil Maton was placed on the IL with a knee injury and Ethan Roberts was recalled to bolster the bullpen. Suzuki’s return means he’ll share playing time in right field as he reacclimates, with Matt Shaw handling most early duty; Carlson’s DFA ends his Cubs stint after signing a minor-league deal in January.

Guardians Elevate Allard to 40-Man, DFA Nikhazy

The Cleveland Guardians designated left-hander Doug Nikhazy for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for left-hander Kolby Allard, who was added to the 40-man roster. Colin Holderman was optioned to Triple-A Columbus to open space. Nikhazy, a 2021 second-round pick who posted a 3.90 ERA across 2022–24 but struggled in 2025, will go through waivers (48 hours) with a potential trade window. Allard, who posted a 2.63 ERA over 65 innings last year, provides bullpen/long-relief depth as the Guardians navigate a Dodgers series and possible starter fatigue after Tanner Bibee’s shoulder inflammation, with Bibee and Gavin Williams lined up for upcoming starts.

The Cubs pared down their spring roster three times this weekend, sending players like Collin Snider, Corbin Martin, Jonathon Long, Jefferson Rojas, Ethan Roberts and others to the minors as they shape the bullpen and bench ahead of Opening Day. Jeff Brigham and Gavin Hollowell could factor later, while Rojas remains a top in-house prospect and will begin the season at Double-A Knoxville. More roster tweaks are expected as the Cubs finalize their early-season plans.

Grichuk clinches Yankees roster spot as spring cleans up Opening Day mix

New York is finalizing its Opening Day roster: Randal Grichuk earned a spot due to his left-handed power, even with a limited spring OPS, while DeJong and Seth Brown were reassigned to minor league camp and Oswaldo Cabrera and Max Schuemann were optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The bench is shaping up with Escarra, Rosario, Grichuk and others in reserve roles, and Jasson Domínguez will begin the season in Triple-A after a strong spring showing. Pitcher Yovanny Cruz was sent to minor league camp after another scoreless outing; his high velocity could be a future asset if he irons out control.

49ers land Osa Odighizuwa in Cowboys trade for 2026 third-round pick

The San Francisco 49ers announced they acquired defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the team’s 2026 third-round pick. Odighizuwa, a 6-2, 280-pound lineman, has played in 84 games (76 starts) over five seasons with Dallas, recording 216 tackles and 17.0 sacks. In 2025 he appeared in 17 games with 44 tackles and 3.5 sacks. A UCLA product from Portland, Oregon, Odighizuwa adds depth to SF’s defensive line as they bolster their roster ahead of free agency and the 2026 season.

Patriots ride late free-agent surge to bolster line and receiving corps

New England closed in on free agency momentum by signing Alijah Vera-Tucker to a three-year, $42 million deal to anchor the left guard spot (with $12.75 million in per-game roster bonuses) and adding Romeo Doubs at receiver, boosting protection and playmaking options as Day 3 looms. The team still needs an edge rusher, safety, and tight end, and could pursue more moves or even leverage for a bigger target like A.J. Brown if negotiations progress, but the current class marks a meaningful upgrade for the Patriots’ offense.
