Kim was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Kim took a 94 mph fastball from Walker Buehler off his left wrist in the bottom of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest the following frame. The infielder underwent X-rays on his arm following the contest that came back negative, according to manager Mike Shildt, which bodes well for Kim moving forward. The 28-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of San Diego's three-game series with the Rockies at home beginning Monday.

Meyers went 3-for-3 with three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Tigers. Meyers entered the game as a pinch hitter for Trey Cabbage in the top of the seventh inning, notching an RBI single. He proceeded to add two more RBI base knocks in the eighth and ninth frames, making the most of his three at-bats in the contest. The outfielder is now batting .360 with two triples, a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 25 at-bats in May.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox. The 32-year-old got the start in left field and continued a sudden hot streak that has seen Rosario rack up eight hits in the last five games with two homers, three steals, four RBI and eight runs. That surge comes on the heels of an 0-for-27 slump, though, and on the season he has a .159/.219/.295 slash line. Rosario still has a big hole to climb out of, and with Victor Robles healthy again, the competition for outfield/DH at-bats with the Nats has gotten even more crowded.

The Baltimore Orioles have called up yet another notable young hitter, promoting outfielder Kyle Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk, according to Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Kornet (right calf tightness) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Kornet sustained a calf strain in late April but has suited up for each of the last six games for Boston. If he were to end up missing Monday's tilt, Xavier Tillman would likely work behind Al Horford at the five.

The Panthers signed Smith on Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Smith bounced back and forth between the Vikings' practice squad and active roster over the course of his three-year NFL career, but he's now found a new home in Carolina. The 27-year-old defensive lineman has appeared in four games during his time in the league, recording 11 total tackles while playing 108 total snaps (86 defensive, 22 on special teams). He's expected to compete for a backup role in the Panthers defense as the offseason advances.

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.

Johnson has signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent. Johnson spent six seasons at Ohio State due to a redshirt year and the 2020 COVID-19 additional season that was granted to all athletes. He spent his final season behind several talented receivers, which led to him recording just 178 yards receiving on 13 receptions. While he figures to have an uphill battle -- he is one of 13 wide receivers currently on Buffalo's roster -- the rookie will compete for either a depth receiving role with the team or a spot on the practice squad.
