With his team plummeting out of contention, Giants manager Bob Melvin said he could soon start sitting regulars to take a look at other players.
It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out. Rafael Devers, Matt Chapman and Willy Adames aren’t much for routine days off. The Giants are certainly committed to those three and probably Jung Hoo Lee, Heliot Ramos and Patrick Bailey as 2026 regulars, leaving openings at second, in right field and at DH. But the first two of those spots are currently occupied by younger players anyway in Casey Schmitt and Drew Gilbert. We wouldn’t expect much to change with the core group going forward. Marco Luciano, Luis Matos and maybe Wade Meckler could get looks between the outfield and the DH spot.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported the Nuggets agreed to a deal with Kessler Edwards.
Edwards, who spent last year on a two-way with Dallas, will now join the Nuggets, though the official terms of the deal weren’t reported. However, with Denver already having 14 players under contract and all three two-way spots filled, this could be just a training camp deal for Edwards that isn’t guaranteed. Still, he’s been a solid player through the first four years of his career after being a second-round pick and could certainly work his way into a role with Denver, though it likely won’t be a large one.
Isaiah Mobley has agreed to a deal with Turkish club Manisa Basket.
The older brother of Cavaliers standout Evan Mobley, Isaiah has appeared in 23 games across three NBA seasons. The 6-foot-10 power forward, the 49th overall pick in the 2022 draft, spent most of the 2024-25 season in the G League, making one appearance with the 76ers. Mobley most recently played for the Warriors at the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Pistons are finalizing a one-year agreement with G/F Javonte Green.
After three-plus seasons with the Bulls, Green split the 2024-25 season between New Orleans and Cleveland. In 68 total games, the 6-foot-5 wing averaged 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.5 minutes. While Green did start 19 games last season, 18 with the injury-riddled Pelicans, the production was not consistent enough to make him a player worth holding on fantasy rosters. That’s unlikely to change in 2025-26 given Detroit’s depth.
Celtics waived Miles Norris.
Not selected in the 2023 NBA Draft, Norris has spent most of his two professional seasons in the G League. He appeared in three games for the Celtics last season, averaging 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.7 minutes. Sunday’s transactions opens up a two-way contract slot for the Celtics, days after the team acquired RJ Luis as part of a deal with the Jazz.
