RHP Dustin May may fit the Tigers’ needs for starting pitching depth

Amid looming lockout talks, the Detroit Tigers are eyeing right‑hander Dustin May as a low‑cost depth starter. The 29‑year‑old, who posted 145.2 innings with a 4.70 ERA and a career‑low 0.86 HR/9 in 2026 for the Brewers, offers consistency and improved home‑run control after overcoming two UCL surgeries and a stint with the Dodgers and Red Sox. With the Tigers unlikely to chase high‑priced free agents like Tarik Skubal, May’s $12.5 M one‑year deal fits their strategy of shoring up rotation depth before the lockout, while also freeing a starter for bullpen conversion.

Bucks vs. Celtics Player Grades: Centre rotation goes from bad to worse in rout

The Bucks fell 117-97 to the Celtics after an early 14‑point lead, largely because their frontcourt collapsed. Myles Turner posted just 3 points on 1‑of‑8 shooting and earned a D‑, while rookie Kel’el Ware never scored and was pulled in the second half, drawing criticism. Kyle Kuzma’s hot start (27 points) couldn’t offset the rot; he finished with a B grade despite late‑game shot selection woes. Meanwhile, Ryan Rollins (C‑), Tyler Herro (C‑) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (D+) offered little offensively, and the Celtics’ physical play, led by Paul George’s tough shots, dictated the game. The article breaks down each player’s grade and highlights the Bucks’ deteriorating centre rotation.

Patriots LT Will Campbell gives status update on injury concerns after loss to Packers

The New England Patriots fell 42-27 to the Green Bay Packers, and left tackle Will Campbell left early with a knee issue. Campbell told ESPN’s Mike Reiss he feels “good” physically and would have returned if the game were tighter. The former No. 4 overall pick started all nine games this season, logging 89% of snaps, and his status is crucial ahead of next week’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, who rank second in the league with 27 sacks.

Josh Jacobs exits the Packers’ 45-27 win over the Patriots early in the first quarter with a hand injury, leaving the field with trainers. The team lists him as questionable for a return. Backup Pierre Strong Jr. takes over as the lead back after Green Bay builds a 14-0 lead via a Jordan Love rushing TD and a Love‑Golden connection. Jacobs, in only his third season appearance after a suspension, has struggled with just 75 yards and a 2.3‑yard average, and this injury adds to his comeback woes. The victory moves Green Bay to 6-3, keeping them in the NFC playoff hunt.
