Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. The lefty-hitting Singleton seems to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at first base of late with the struggling Jose Abreu, though Abreu got the start in Saturday's 12-4 win against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. After going 2-for-5 with two RBI in the win, Abreu will stick in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Austin Gomber. It's unclear if the Astros plan to bring Singleton back in the starting nine the next time they face off against a righty.

I've always had Hunter Dickinson projected to return to Kansas next season, mostly because it was always going to be his best option. So Friday's announcement that the two-time All-American will indeed play a fifth year of college basketball — and second straight with the Jayhawks — had no impact on the 2024-25 CBS Sports preseason Top 25 And 1.

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.

Tkachuk scored two goals on five shots while adding five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Lightning in Game 3. The 26-year-old winger opened and closed the scoring on the night, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy midway through the first period before firing home an empty-netter late in the third. Tkachuk has three goals and five points to fuel the Panthers' 3-0 start to the series, and Florida will try to secure the sweep Saturday back in Tampa Bay.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with two runs and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning victory versus Atlanta. Kwan's speed was on display throughout the contest, as neither of his base knocks left the infield and he crossed the plate on a steal of home in the eighth inning. The third-year outfielder had had an impressive beginning to the campaign, notching at least one hit in 17 of his 26 contests. He's slashing .345/.378/.469 with three homers, eight RBI, 25 runs and three thefts through 119 plate appearances.

The NBA playoffs are underway, and the action has never been hotter. Sunday gave us our first elimination as the Timberwolves completed the 4-0 sweep over the Suns to notch their first playoff series win in 20 years. It was a 122-116 victory that remained tight until the very end.

Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.

The Texans selected Bullock in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 78th overall. Bullock was a safety at USC and could very well stick there in the NFL, but at just 6-foot-2, 188 pounds he risks getting clobbered in run defense if he doesn't add any weight. There are at least two bits of good news on this, though. The first is that Bullock might have the skill set to play at corner anyway, and at that position he'd have close to the ideal frame for press coverage. The second is that Bullock is still young, turning 21 on April 30. If Bullock were something more like 200 pounds in a year or two it wouldn't be shocking, and at that point he'd have a more conventional safety frame.

The Texans selected Jordan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 205th overall. Jordan led Louisville in rushing yards last season (1,128) and compiled 13 touchdowns on the ground, but the running back will turn 25 at the start of the season and is very slight (5-foot-9, 193 pounds) for a ball carrier that doesn't have a ton of straight-line speed (4.53 40-yard dash). Jordan's vision and craftiness to set up blocks made him an explosive playmaker in college, but that sort of time won't be allotted to him at the professional level.
