How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. NEW YORK -- If Steven Matz pitches again for the Mets this season -- and thats no certainty -- he will be making his first career relief appearance.Matz is 9-8 with a 3.40 ERA but hasnt pitched since Aug. 14 because of a shoulder impingement. He rehabbed the shoulder and was ramping up to make a possible start earlier this week, but Matz felt pain again after throwing the bullpen session that would precede the outing.The club hasnt shut down Matz yet. They sent him for a medical exam on Friday, hoping they can get some contribution from him before the end of the regular season or in a possible postseason appearance -- or both. But the window appears to have closed for him to build up to a starting assignment.Right now, if hes able to throw -- able to pitch -- maybe well put him in the pen and see if we can get him an inning here or an inning there to see how he reacts to it, manager Terry Collins said before the Mets squared off with the Phillies at Citi Field.Right now, where we are, today, youre looking at: weve got a spot starter today (Sean Gilmartin), [Robert] Gsellman tomorrow, whos one of our guys, and Im not sure where were going to get him in.All 28 of Matzs appearances have been starting assignments. Collins was asked if he had any hesitation to deploy the lefthander as a reliever, especially in a postseason setting.Youre talking about a playoff situation where we dont even know if he can pitch right now, Collins said. If he doesnt pitch at all, you certainly cant start him in the playoffs, so either he helps you now and gets some innnings out of the bullpen or he doesnt pitch at all.ddddddddddddollins said he would have to give Matz a lot of notice before he entered a game as a reliever. The manager also said he would not be able to use Matz on consecutive days.In other Mets rotation news, Collins said Noah Syndergaard will return to the rotation Tuesday. The right-hander, who is 13-9 with a 2.63 ERA, had been scheduled to pitch Saturday but caught strep throat. He is being treated with antibiotics.Were looking at Monday or Tuesday. We arent really sure yet, which date. Theres obviously some things down the road we have to takeIn order to help you set your lineups and avoid starting a player who doesnt take the field, we will be posting fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their Sunday inactive lists prior to kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.Refresh often for the latest information.Ruled out before SundayRB Chris Ivory (illness), QB Tony Romo (back), RB Kenneth Dixon (knee), TE Tyler Eifert (ankle), WR Kendall Wright (hamstring), TE Zach Ertz (ribs, Monday Night Football)Top players were watchingEarly games, 1 p.m. ET (eight scheduled)TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring, questionable) -?inactive RB Jonathan Stewart (ankle, questionable) -?active RB Arian Foster (hamstring, questionable)?- active WR Breshad Perriman (calf, questionable)?- active RB Jamaal Charles (knee, doubtful) - inactive TE Jordan Cameron (thigh, questionable)?- active WR DeVante Parker (hamstring, questionable)?- active WR Chris Hogan (shoulder, questionable)?- active WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder, questionable) - inactive WR Josh Doctson (Achilles, questionable) - activeLate games, 4:05 and 4:25 p.m. ET (five scheduled)WR Demaryius Thomas (hip, questionable)?- active RB C.J. Prosise (wrist, questionable)?- inactiveSunday night game, 8:30 p.m. ETNoneUpdates/analysis (most recent first)Trevor Siemian (3:12 PM): The opportunity is there for the young quarterback to air things out at home this afternoon, as the Colts will be without three members of their secondary - Patrick Robinson, T.J. Green and Vontae Davis.Atlanta Falcons (3:08 PM): As expected, both Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu are active for this weeks game. Both receivers had been dealing with ankle issues, but practiced fully on Friday.Julius Thomas (3:05 PM): After scoring a touchdown in Week 1, the Jaguars are happy to have Thomas back in their lineup for Week 2. The tight end had been nursing a sprained ankle, but is active today.Russell Wilson (3:00 PM): The quarterback is active for todays game against the Rams, defying original expectations that his high ankle sprain might cause him to miss a few games.Demaryius Thomas (2:55 PM): The Denver wide receiver (hip) is indeed active for this afternoon contest. Jordan Norwood and Cody Latimer lose any fantasy value for as long as Thomas is on the field.C.J. Prosise (2:50 PM): The Seattle running back is out with a wrist injury, meaning Thomas Rawls?and?Christine Michael?should split nearly all the time in the backfield for the Seahawks in Week 2.Jared Goff (2:45 PM): Hes not expected to play unless an injury befalls starter Case Keenum or there are some late-game snaps available for him to get his NFL feet wet, but at least hes the active backup for Week 2. QB Sean Mannion is inactive.Arizona Cardinals (2:34 PM): Nothing much to note by way of inactives here, though WR J.J. Nelson (shoulder) will sit this game out. Perhaps that gives Jaron Brown a little bit of value in the deepest of leagues.Nate Solder (12:10 PM): With the tackle active for Week 2, Jimmy Garoppolo should have even better pass protection for this game than he did in Week 1 - and he was only sacked twice in that contest.DeAndre Levy (12:00 PM): The linebacker will be out of action for the Lions due to a hip injury, which comes as a slight surprise, since earlier in the week he was expected to play. Linebacker will be thin for Detroit as a result, so Marcus Mariota may have a much easier go of things today than we would have otherwise thought.Tyler Eifert (11:55 AM): The good news is that Eifert was seen running routes on the field before the game. However, the bad news is that hes still likely a few weeks away from being active. C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Kroft will split time at tight end in Week 2 for the Bengals.Baltimore Ravens (11:50 AM): With Javorius Allen listed as inactive in Week 2, the Ravens should roll again with a two-headed backfield of Justin Forsett and Terrance West.Jay Ajayi (11:43 AM): After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Ajayi is active today for Miami. That said, so too is Arian Foster, so unless Fosters hamstring acts up, theres not a lot of fantasy value to be found here in Week 2.Markus Wheaton (11:25 AM): According to NFL Networks Ian Rapoport, the Steelers will be without Wheatons services today. Eli Rogers should have an increased role at wide receiver as a result.Demaryius Thomas (8:45 AM): For now, the Broncos expect Thomas to play this afternoon, despite the hip injury, per ESPNs Adam Schefter. However, hes going to have to make it through pregame workouts before hell get the all clear to suit up. With the late start to this one, make sure you have an alternate option available for your lineup, just in case.Miami Dolphins (8:30 AM): Arian Foster and DeVante Parker both appear to be ready to suit up today, despite hamstring injuries for the duo. NFL Networks Ian Rapoport expects Parker to make his 2016 debut against the Patriots, and adds that Foster is good to go.Jamaal Charles (8:15 AM): The busiest man in football, ESPNs Adam Schefter, reports that hes been told that although the Kansas City running back is ready to play this week, the team will be cautious with Charles, holding him out of action until Week 3.?Spencer Ware?should once again get the bulk of the Chiefs ground game work.Russell Wilson (8:00 AM): The Seattle quarterback is currently expected to play in todays late afternoon game against the Rams, however as ESPNs Adam Schefter reports, Wilson will be battling through a high ankle sprain and could potentially have his movement limited.Rob Gronkowski (7:50 AM): According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, sources tell him that the Patriots tight end will not play today against the Dolphins, due to his lingering hamstring injury. That certainly gives Martellus Bennett a slight boost in value, but hes no Rob Gronkowski, and unlikely to have much fantasy impact beyond what he gave you in Week 1 in Gronks absence.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early set of games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the later set and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.

For roughly six hours last April, Mike Neighbors twisted in the realm of the unknown over questions about his star player and her future at Washington.It was the day after Washington lost to Syracuse in the national semifinals, concluding one of the most remarkable NCAA Tournament runs in recent memory. Neighbors was sticking around Indianapolis for a coaches convention while the rest of his team was on a plane back to Seattle.Thats when Neighbors phone rang. It was Renee Brown, then the WNBA chief of basketball operations, telling Neighbors that rumors were quickly spreading that Plum had changed her mind and was going to declare early for the WNBA.It was a story that spun out of control, Neighbors recalled.What followed were hours of unanswered text messages, emails and phone calls from Neighbors to anyone and everyone associated with the Washington program trying to confirm one way or another whether Plum was going to declare.After more than six hours, with the team finally back in Seattle and Plums phone charged enough to make a call, Neighbors heard from his star.I thought Id mess with him a little bit, Plum said. I was like you know what coach, I just want to say I really appreciate everything youve done. Its been a great three years and Im just grateful for the opportunity youve given me and the future. And he was dead silent.And then I was like Come on, Im coming back. I think I got him a little bit.That story is a peek inside the relationship that has helped put No. 17 Washington back on the national landscape of womens college basketball. Plum is the star scorer who will likely rewrite the Pac-12 record books by the conclusion of her senior season. Neighbors is the coach who has found the right mix of sarcasm, support and constructive criticism to allow Plum to thrive.There was never a doubt Plum would return to Washington for her senior season, in her mind. There was too much left to accomplish, even if shes already left a legacy by getting Washington to its first Final Four a season ago as a No. 7 seed and pulling off thrree consecutive upsets before losing to Syracuse in the national semifinals.ddddddddddddThat wasnt enough. Not having an opportunity to play for a national title left Plum feeling hollow. Its why shes so adamant that last season is just that and should not linger into this year. And thats directed at more than just her teammates. Plum has already told Neighbors she doesnt want to see him wearing his Final Four ring around practice.Who am I to take that away from him? Plum said. But I think someone has to bring him back down to earth. If thats me, Ill be the bad guy.If Plum is going to be the bad guy its only in her rabid determination to make sure Washingtons reemergence as a contender in the Pac-12 lasts for more than the four years she was on campus. Sure, her legacy will remain in statistics, honors and hitting 145 straight free throws in practice last month that required Neighbors to get part of the Washington drumline to distract Plum and finally force her to miss.Plum became the first player in Washington history to be named a preseason AP All-American. She needs just 319 points to tie a Pac-12 record for scoring and is 975 points shy of tying the NCAA scoring record. The first is almost certain to fall and the second record is obtainable if she remains healthy and the Huskies can make another deep postseason run.Thats where the drive comes from for Plum. She cant enjoy -- wont enjoy -- what Washington accomplished last season because it wasnt satisfying. Her Final Four ring is still in its box. And it will likely remain there until the conclusion of her college career.One of the things coach has tried to help me to work on -- and its a continuing struggle -- is to enjoy that, Plum said. I think they scientifically say that if you dont recognize and pat yourself on the back it almost is like a counter effect. ... I do struggle with that. I think you definitely have to look back and enjoy it and have a wow moment. ' ' ' a look at, Collins said, referring to a possible tiebreaker game or the National League wild-card game. A lot of it will be how he feels after coming today. [If] he feels a lot better today -- hes got some energy back after the pen -- well see how he feels. If it wears him down real fast or not.If you were as sick as he was for a couple of days, he might need the extra day, maybe not.Jacob deGroms stitches were on full display as the right-hander spoke for the first time since having season-ending surgery to reposition the ulnar nerve at his elbow.DeGrom said the doctor told him that surgery was the correct move and that the spot where the nerve was being compressed -- and causing numbness in his fingers -- was clear.The recovery period is three months and, when asked about spring training, deGrom said, I should be fine.
