Insider says ex-Steelers QB Russell Wilson expected to lose Giants starting role
Russell Wilson can't catch a break. After serving as the quarterback scapegoat for the Steelers' offensive struggles at the end of last season, Wilson is reportedly at risk of eventually losing the Giants' starting QB role to rookie Jaxson Dart. On a recent episode of The Insiders, Ian Rapoport acknowledged that while Wilson is currently the starter, he predicted Dart will eventually take the QB1 reins: "You listen to everything Brian Daboll says, you get an understanding of how far along Jaxson Dart is, and where you think he's going to go," Rapoport said. "It's clearly a matter of when, not if. And I'm really curious to see how good this Giants team could be, whenever they deem Jaxson Dart ready." One could argue that Wilson wasn't to blame for the Steelers' offensive issues in 2024 — as the late-season collapse falls more on the shoulders of scheme predictability and the lack of WR2 production. Still, the situation spells bad news for the former Steelers quarterback, who was hoping for a potential career resurgence in New York this season.

Brewers' Brandon Woodruff and Nestor Cortes move a step closer to returning from lengthy stays on IL
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers pitchers Brandon Woodruff and Nestor Cortes are finally getting closer to returning after lengthy recoveries from their respective injuries. Woodruff and Cortes both pitched in simulated games Monday. Woodruff, who hasn't pitched in a major league game since September 2023, threw 60 pitches. Cortes, who made just two starts this year before going on the injured list in early April, threw 22-23 pitches in the simulated game and about 25-30 more in a bullpen session. Advertisement Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the staff would work together to determine the next steps for Woodruff, who is hopeful he might need only one more rehabilitation outing before making his long-awaited return from postseason shoulder surgery in 2023. 'I've always been a guy, when I'm ready, I'm ready,' Woodruff said. 'I kind of know that. I'm not saying that's going to lead to results, but I know that I'm ready to go pitch and compete. I think I'm to that point now.' Cortes says he's aiming to start a rehabilitation appearance in early July before rejoining the Brewers just after the All-Star break as the 30-year-old left-hander recovers from a flexor strain in his throwing elbow. 'That's when we believe is the safest — and I guess the safest and quickest way to get back — combination of both,' Cortes said. Advertisement Woodruff, 32, already has been on two separate rehabilitation stints this year. The two-time All-Star right-hander left the first one with tendinitis in his right ankle. He was pitching for Triple-A Nashville again on June 3 when a 108-mph line drive struck him in the right elbow, leaving a bruise that delayed his return. 'It's been the hardest thing,' Woodruff said. 'If you don't stay positive with it, it makes coming to the field miserable, to be honest. When the team's on the road and I'm here, me and Nestor are here by ourselves, it's a pretty lonely place.' Woodruff said his family has helped him stay positive. That's also worked for Cortes. Advertisement Woodruff and his wife, Jonie, have a daughter named Kyler who turns 5 in August and a son named Bowen who was born last July. Cortes' wife, Alondra, gave birth to Nestor Cortes III in April. 'That's been the biggest help for me,' Woodruff said. 'I was thinking about it last night. Getting to feed my little boy a bottle at night before he goes to bed, you don't get that when the team's on the road. All these experiences, and getting to see him about to start walking, getting to see that day to day, family's been the biggest thing for sure. That's filled the time up until the game starts and I'm watching the games. Having two kids has definitely kept me busy.' While Woodruff and Cortes move closer to a return, the Brewers await word on the severity of a minor league prospect's injury. Third baseman Brock Wilken, the 18th overall pick out of Wake Forest in the 2023 draft, hurt his knee during Double-A Biloxi's celebration of its Southern League South Division first-half title last week. Murphy said Monday that Wilken had a dislocated patellar tendon and was awaiting a second opinion regarding the injury. Wilken, 23, was hitting .230 with a .392 on-base percentage, 18 homers, 41 RBIs and 57 walks in 65 games with Biloxi. ___ AP MLB:

Diamondbacks sign veteran catcher James McCann to 1-year deal
Arizona signed James McCann to a major league contract following his release from the Atlanta Braves, and the 35-year-old catcher joined the Diamondbacks on Monday for their game against the Chicago White Sox. Arizona also designated catcher Aramis Garcia for assignment. McCann agreed to a one-year contract for the $760,000 minimum while in the major leagues and $180,000 while in the minors. With 99 days remaining in the season, McCann would receive $404,516 should he remain in the majors the rest of the way. He signed a minor league deal with the Braves on April 8 and was released Sunday, which allowed him to sign with Arizona. Over 41 games with Triple-A Gwinnett, he hit .297 with six homers and 30 RBIs. A second-round draft pick in 2011 by Detroit, McCann has played 11 seasons in the majors with the Tigers (2014-18), White Sox (2019-20), Mets (2021-22) and Orioles (2023-24). He has batted .241 over his career with 92 homers and 373 RBIs. McCann was selected to the 2019 All-Star Game. That season with the White Sox, he set career highs in hits (120), homers (18) and RBIs (60). ___ AP baseball:
