Miguel Berry - Scores in opener Berry scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Berry picked up right where he left off, leading the line and in the goals. The forward is a solid fantasy play and looks to be linking up well in his new more advanced role. Berry should be a top fantasy play away against San Jose on Saturday.

Aidan Morris - Features in friendly Morris appeared in the Feb. 16 friendly against Charlotte FC.

Impact Morris had missed most of last season with a torn ACL but since the injury happened in April of 2021, he's made it back in time for the new campaign. He's still a young player and should he stay fit, Morris will add further depth in the midfield.

Perry Kitchen - Still out of training Kitchen is not in training due to a foot injury, according to Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch via manager Caleb Porter.

Impact Kitchen missed much of last season with back and knee injuries and will likely continue to miss regular season matches. Should he continue to stay on the sidelines, he may not last with the Crew much longer.

Gyasi Zardes - Plays in friendly Zardes appeared in the Feb. 16 friendly against Charlotte FC.

Impact Zardes had sprained his MCL late in 2021 but also recently played for the USMNT so he's been healthy for some time. It will be a big change if Zardes and his teammates can stay fit in 2022.

Artur - Makes return in pre-season Artur (hip) has been active in pre-season and is fully available for the 2022 season.

Impact Artur doesn't feature in the starting XI for Columbus and won't be a major candidate to break into the starting XI either. His availability is most likely a depth boost only for the squad heading into the 2022 season.

Erik Hurtado - Back with Columbus Hurtado is back with Columbus after putting pen to paper on a one year deal with an option for 2023, the club announced Friday.

Impact Hurtado is in the exact same situation he was in for the 2021 season, signing for Columbus on a one-year deal, with an option for a second year. The forward is little more than a depth option, and barring a career year, is unlikely to have the option picked up at the end of the season.
