McShay, who has McMillan ranked 50th among 2025 prospects, said McMillan’s lack of effort showed up in his routes at Arizona even as he went for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. “Tet didn’t like to workout and practice hard unless a scout was in attendance,” McShay said, pushing back on the frequent McMillan comp of Drake London, who McShay described as “a dog.” “Didn’t think he showed attention to detail.” Widely considered to be the top wideout in the draft, McMillan has held pre-draft meetings with the Patriots, Saints, and Cowboys. In New England, he would instantly be the team’s No. 1 receiver.

DeSclafani missed all of last year after undergoing surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm. The 35-year-old righty provides the Yankees with some experienced starting pitching depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He’s unlikely to make an impact for fantasy purposes, but could wind up gobbling up some innings for New York at some point later this season.

Trout remains without a definitive return timetable at the moment, but the fact he’s progressed to on-field drills suggests that he’s not too far away from heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old superstar has been swinging a bat without any issues, but hasn’t been able to run at full speed yet. He’s been out since April 30 after suffering a bone bruise in his surgically-repaired left knee.

The Yankees are sticking with their original plan to let LeMahieu sit out Tuesday’s contest despite Oswaldo Cabrera’s serious ankle injury during Monday’s game. It’ll be Jorbit Vivas at second base with Oswald Peraza filling in at the hot corner on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park.

The gap between the majors and Triple-A is seemingly wider than its ever been with Kurtz’s ongoing struggles another jarring example of the phenomenon. The 22-year-old top prospect has struck out 23 times in 59 plate appearances and has just two extra-base hits over 16 games to open his career. He’s simply too talented to continue flailing, but it’s understandable if fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues are unable to continue waiting for him to get going at the dish.

A late addition to Cleveland’s injury report, Merrill will not be available for a game the Cavaliers need to keep their season alive. His absence leaves the East’s top seed down a rotation player, but they will have Donovan Mitchell (ankle) in the starting lineup.

Mitchell did not play in the second half of Sunday’s Game 4 blowout loss after aggravating a left ankle injury. The good news is that he’ll be available for Tuesday’s game, and the Cavaliers will need all hands on deck as they trail three games to one. Cleveland will go with its regular starting lineup, with Darius Garland, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen joining Mitchell. According to TNT, an MRI on Monday revealed a sprain and showed that Mitchell did not suffer any additional damage.
