Andy Najar - Available against Chicago Najar (hamstring) is expected to be available for selection in Saturday's clash against the Fire, Steven Goff of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Najar has missed his side's last seven MLS games with a hamstring strain he suffered in April, but he has recovered now and is expected to be back in the squad this weekend. He started all six games before his injury, so he will want to break back into the back-three -- likely at the expense of Donovan Pines -- once he's fully fit again.

Brendan Hines-Ike - Suspended against Fire Hines-Ike will be suspended versus Chicago on June 18 after picking up his fifth yellow card.

Impact Hines-Ike has started all 13 matches this season, in which he registered 49 clearances, 20 tackles and eight crosses (one accurate), but will now be forced to sit out for the first time this year. Once his suspension is served, the central defender should be a lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI where he can offer decent mid-range fantasy value.
