Boston avoids elimination with Derrick White's putback. The Boston Celtics are still alive. By a split second, but sometimes that's all it takes. With their season on the line, Derrick White tipped in an offensive rebound to beat the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals at the buzzer, 104-103. The series is now tied 3-3 and will go back to Boston for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday. Boston is the fourth team to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 in a series.

Miami, FL

A fascinating Eastern Conference finals ended in shocking fashion on Monday, as the Miami Heat crushed the Boston Celtics on the road in Game 7, 103-84 to earn a trip to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2020 and avoid being the first team to blow a 3-0 series lead.

Wallner will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. Wallner joined the big-league club Tuesday and went 7-for-11 with a homer, a double, four RBI and two runs over five games with the Twins. However, he'll head back to the minors since Max Kepler (hamstring) and Royce Lewis (knee) are set to be reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Friedl has been starting every other day since returning quickly from the 10-day IL due to an oblique injury, but he should start playing more regularly soon, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Manager David Bell wanted to get Friedl back from the IL as quickly as possible, but...

Las Vegas, NV

Jimmy Garoppolo's lingering foot injury reportedly resulted in a waiver being placed inside the quarterback's contract that gives the Raiders the power to effectively cut him, creating the possibility of him never playing a down for the franchise. Given that Garoppolo underwent surgery on that foot in March and has yet to participate in OTAs with Las Vegas, that has sprouted fodder of the Raiders actually pulling the lever on that addendum and nullifying the contract. The next question that follows whether or not they should void his deal surrounds who'd play quarterback for the Raiders in 2023.

Pittsburgh, PA

The Pirates placed Velasquez on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right elbow discomfort, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. After returning Saturday from a stint on the 15-day IL due to elbow inflammation, Velasquez lasted just two innings into his start against the Mariners before succumbing to a related injury. The Pirates haven't provided a firm diagnosis or timeline for Velasquez's return, but in light of his latest elbow-related setback, the right-hander acknowledged that he'll likely be in store for a longer period of time off than he had during his first stint on the IL, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Velasquez added that he's confident he'll be able to pitch again this season, but his absence for at least the next few weeks should reopen the door for the struggling Roansy Contreras to re-enter the rotation.

San Francisco, CA

Schmitt (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Brewers. Schmitt received treatment on his ankle after rolling it during Saturday's game against the Brewers, but he told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that he's "absolutely fine" and that this is just a regular day of rest. Schmitt should be considered day-to-day at this point, and it sounds like he's available off the bench against Milwaukee for Sunday's series finale.

Nootbaar was removed from Monday's game against the Royals in the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He went 0-for-1 before exiting the contest. Nootbaar was chasing down a ball in the gap before pulling up close to the warning track and...

Schmitt is receiving treatment on his ankle after rolling it during Saturday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Schmitt was able to stay in the game, but it was clearly bothering the infielder for the remainder of Saturday's win for the Giants over the Brewers. He should be considered day-to-day at this stage.

Houston, TX

Pressly blew a save against the Twins on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters in one inning. Pressly got the ninth inning with Houston up 5-4 but couldn't protect the lead. He struck out two of the first three batters he faced but yielded a game-tying single to rookie Royce Lewis with two outs. The blown save was the first for Pressly in 11 chances this season, and Monday marked just the second time he's allowed the opponent to score over his past 17 outings. With those numbers in mind, Pressly's role as Houston's closer remains very secure despite the stumble.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 10-inning loss to the Twins. Altuve temporarily turned the game around with his seventh-inning grand slam, giving Houston its first lead of the game. However, Minnesota eventually prevailed after the game went to an extra frame. Altuve missed the first seven weeks of the campaign after fracturing his thumb in the World Baseball Classic, but he hasn't missed a beat upon his return. He's hit safely in seven straight games and is slashing .355/.444/.645 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs overall through 36 plate appearances.

Bernardino was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday. Bernardino will head back to Worcester after being called up Monday, tossing a scoreless inning while allowing a walk and striking out batter in Friday's 7-2 win over Arizona. The move opens a roster spot for Garrett Whitlock (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Dublin, OH

Another high-profile tournament means another strong PGA Tour field, and the 2023 Memorial Tournament brings all the top names back into the fold this week. The tournament tees off Thursday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, and the tough Jack Nicklaus layout -- and the designated event payday -- have attracted the stars. The Memorial Tournament 2023 field features the top five players in the world, with No. 1 Scottie Scheffler coming off a top-five finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Second-ranked Jon Rahm won the Memorial in 2020 and was poised to win again in 2021 but had to withdraw. Instead, fourth-ranked Patrick Cantlay went on to win and is the lone two-time champion in the Memorial 2023 field. He also won in 2019. Billy Horschel, who went 13 under par last year, will play as the defending champion.

Texas State

Matz will be available out of the bullpen for the Cardinals' upcoming two-game series versus the Royals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Matz remains winless at 0-6 with a 5.72 ERA through 10 starts this season. With a scheduling quirk leading to consecutive days off (Wednesday and Thursday), the Cardinals won't need a fifth or sixth starter for a while. It's possible Matz could rejoin the rotation during a road series in Texas from June 5-7. With Matthew Liberatore up in the majors, Matz may eventually be ticketed for the bullpen on a more permanent basis if he can't get his season on track.
