Mayfield (back) was seen taking some reps at right guard during 11-on-11 drills throughout last week's OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. The Falcons' 2021 third-round pick missed the entire 2022 NFL season with a back injury, but he's back on the field after having moved past the issue. During Mayfield's rookie year, he started all but one game for Atlanta at left guard, but the team now has him taking snaps at right guard. He won't be starting over All-Pro right guard Chris Lindstrom, so it's most likely that Mayfield will serve as a depth piece for the Falcons' offensive line.

Los Angeles, CA

The Los Angeles Lakers have had LeBron James for five years now. In those five seasons, they've had five completely distinct rosters. There is not a single player left from the young team he joined in 2018, with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart all departing in the Anthony Davis trade. The 2020 championship team was torn down before it got a chance to defend its title, and when the replacements got knocked out in the first round, the Lakers panicked and traded for Russell Westbrook. It wasn't until February that they truly extricated themselves from the Westbrook nightmare, and that has put them in a relatively unique position heading into the 2023 offseason, at least by their own standards.

The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat are just one day away from battling it out in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. And while most of the focus has been on this current iteration of these two teams, the mind can't help but wander back to a heated meeting between Denver and Miami last season. It involved Nikola Jokic getting suspended, Jimmy Butler yelling at Denver's bench to "bring that s--- to the back" and a now infamous picture of Heat players waiting outside Denver's locker room due to the in-game altercation.

Minneapolis, MN

Julien will be optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Julien performed well after being recalled to the majors May 20, slashing .286/.333/.500 with two homers and four RBI in 36 plate appearances. He'll be forced back to Triple-A due to the return of Jorge Polanco (hamstring), but the 24-year-old prospect will almost certainly be back with the Twins at some point this year if he continues to crush minor-league pitching.

Brown (5-2) took the loss against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 4.2 innings.

All of Minnesota's hits against him were singles, though four of them came in the third frame and led to three runs. Brown has had a few mediocre outings this season, but he's been solid overall, posting a 3.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 74:20 K:BB across 62.1 frames.

Smith went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-0 win over Colorado. Smith finally looked like a leadoff hitter Wednesday, reaching base five times. That equaled the number of times he reached base safely over the previous eight contests as Arizona's leadoff batter. In nine games atop the order, Smith is 5-for-29 with five walks. The lefty hitter should be back there once again Thursday against Colorado right-hander Connor Seabold.
