Active in loss Herrera created three chances on 11 crosses (five accurate) and put one shot off target during Saturday's 4-1 loss to LAFC.

Impact Herrera had one of his better games of the season by efficiency but a lackluster attack means it doesn't always amount to much. Depending on what is needed most, lately Herrera has taken more crosses but it's been Andrew Brody on the other flank who's recorded three assists in his last four games.

Five crosses Herrera delivered five crosses and won two tackles during Sunday's 3-0 win over Kansas City.

Impact Herrera delivered multiple opportunities for the Salt Lake squad and forced a lot of pressure on the Kansas City defense. With 17 crosses in his past three matches, the defender has shown he can work on both sides of the ball consistently. Having started 13 matches out of 15 appearances, Herrera has shown he is a reliable defender for the starting XI and will likely be given a permanent role if he has continued success.

Logs five crosses in draw Herrera logged five crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Colorado.

Impact Herrera wasn't as active defensively as in the 3-2 loss to Minnesota in the last match but he was also able to play the full 90 on Saturday. He'll next travel to Atlanta, a team that does well to keep possession at home but isn't in great form at the moment with three losses in their last four matches.

Four crosses Sunday Herrera had one shot (zero on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 3-2 loss against Minnesota United.

Impact Herrera sent in four crosses in yet another high-volume performance against Minnesota. The right back was good for four tackles and three interceptions as he filled the stat sheet on both sides of the ball. Herrera is a consistently strong right-back even with an awful start to the season offensively (no goals or assists in 12 appearances.) Herrera would need an amazing second half to have any chance of getting nears his one goal and 10 assists from 2021.

Sent off against Vancouver Herrera was shown a red card in the 91st minute of Saturday's defeat against the Whitecaps. He created four chances and made two interceptions in the match before going off.

Impact Herrera was a creative threat from right back on Saturday until his late sending off that awarded his opponents the winning penalty kick. He will be suspended for the San Jose clash on June 18, where Andrew Brody is likely to slide over to take his place at right back with Tate Schmitt entering the lineup on the left.

Takes two shots against Nashville Herrera took two shots (one on target) and made two blocks in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Nashville SC. He also made three clearances in the match.

Impact Herrera was solid on both sides of the ball on Sunday but he couldn't lead his team to a result. Next weekend he will face MLS's second-best attack in Austin FC, which have scored 22 goals in 10 matches this season.

Keeps clean sheet in draw Herrera made four clearances, two interceptions and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Timbers.

Impact Herrera bounced back from last weekend's 6-0 defeat to NYCFC with a clean sheet against Portland on Saturday. He isn't offering much of anything on the attacking end at the moment, but in his defense, he has started just two games this season after recovering from a calf injury and the 24-year-old should continue to grow into the campaign.

Trounced by New York City Herrera made a block, two clearances and three interceptions in Sunday's 6-0 defeat against NYCFC. He also won one of three tackles in the match.

Impact Herrera made his first start of the season Sunday after recovering from a calf injury, but this was now how he would have wanted it to go as his side was blown out by the defending MLS Champions. He will want to bounce back next weekend against the Timbers, which have scored 10 goals in eight matches in 2022.

Questionable against Toronto Herrera (calf) will be questionable for Saturday's clash against Toronto FC, RSL manager Pablo Mastroeni said Wednesday.

Impact A calf injury has limited Herrera to just one appearance off the bench so far this season, but he is making progress in his recovery and might be fit enough to be available on Saturday.

Suffers injury setback RSL manager Pablo Mastroeni said Tuesday that Herrera has suffered a minor knock in training.

Impact Herrera's setback is not related to the quadriceps injury that kept him out for the first three games of the season, and Mastroeni is still optimistic that he can be available against Sporting KC on Saturday.

Returns to bench Herrera (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Nashville.

Impact Herrera is making his way back to the first team and is fit enough to return to the bench. When fully healthy the defender will likely be a nailed on starter, but until then Andrew Brody and Tate Schmitt remain in the starting XI.

Out against Seattle Herrera (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Seattle, according to the injury report.

Impact Herrera was always going to miss the first match of the season due to a red card, but this injury is a surprise. It's not clear what is ailing Herrera, but it's likely that Tate Schmitt will slot into the starting XI with Andrew Brody covering at right-back once again.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended against Houston Herrera missed Sunday's draw against the Dynamo with a suspension for a red card he received in RSL's MLS playoff defeat against Portland last season.

Impact Herrera was replaced by Tate Schmitt in the lineup while suspended as Andrew Brody slid over to right wing back, but Herrera will return for next weekend's clash against the Sounders.
