Gabe Segal - Dealt to Houston Segal was traded to Houston from NYC FC, the club announced Friday.
Impact Segal was on loan in Israel for the closing stages of the 2023 season and now gets a permanent move, staying in MLS. The striker should fill an immediate need with Houston after the ACL injury Nelson Quinones suffered earlier in the week, which ended his season.

Nelson Quinones - Season over Quinones (knee) is out for the season due to a knee injury, Houston announced.
Impact Quinones suffered the injury with Colombia in the U23 Olympic qualifiers and now it's confirmed to be a season-ending knee injury. This obviously the worst possible scenario for the forward who played a big role in 2023 and seemed set to take a step forward in 2024. Quinones will hope to return for the 2025 pre-season. Ivan Franco could play a larger role with Quinones done for the year.

Jan Gregus - Lands with Houston Gregus signed with Houston for the 2024 season, the club announced Monday.
Impact Gregus departed Minnesota after his fourth season with the club, a disappointing overall season. The midfielder will more likely be a depth option than anything else with Houston. In 2023 Gregus made 27 appearances (11 starts) across time with Nashville and Minnesota.

Nelson Quinones - Suffers nasty leg injury Quinones suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury while representing Colombia in the U23 Olympic Qualifiers on Thursday, and head coach Ben Olsen said the team will wait t...
Impact Quinones jumped in midfield to win a header during Thursday's loss to Bolivia, but he landed awkwardly on his leg and was unable to get back on his own feet. The injury looked gruesome, and it wouldn't be surprising if the explosive winger is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Quinones recorded four goals and one assist across 33 appearances for Houston in 2023.

Tate Schmitt - Trains during preseason Schmitt (knee) was involved in preseason training with the club ahead of their season opener against Sporting Kansas City on Feb. 24.
Impact Schmitt ended last season on the injury report after undergoing ACL surgery in May but appears to be close to a return heading into the 2024 campaign, as he trained with the club during preseason sessions. With three weeks until their first match, he could be an option if all goes completely right, but they may not want to rush the player back into the team after such a serious injury. He was a regular starter in the five matches he was available for to start the season last year and will hope to return to that spot once he is healthy.

Daniel Steres - Ends on bench Steres didn't appear in the final five matches of the MLS playoffs.
Impact Steres had a solid year on the whole with 26 appearances (21 starts), but most of those came early in the season. Even more worryingly he failed to make an appearance in the final five matches of the season, including every single match of the playoffs. When it mattered the most Steres never even got to touch the pitch, putting his role in 2024 in heavy doubt.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Sviatchenko - Takes starting role Sviatchenko made 22 appearances (21 starts) in 2023, including every playoff game.
Impact Sviatchenko had some issues with injury and rotation, but he was fit and available and in the starting XI for the entire playoff run. The defender will hope to keep that role through the pre-season and build on it in 2024. Sviatchenko totaled 76 clearances, 22 tackles and 14 interceptions in 2023.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brad Smith - Held to three starts Smith made just three starts (21 appearances with Houston in 2023.
Impact Smith fell entirely out of the starting XI in 2023 and had a down year across the board with just one goal and two assists. It's a major disappointment for the full-back, who seems set to remain a depth option heading into 2024. Barring a major surprise in pre-season Smith won't be a starting option.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ibrahim Aliyu - Consistent contributor Aliyu scored three times and assisted twice in 28 appearances (16 starts) in 2023.
Impact Aliyu didn't hit the ground running with the Dynamo. He did add a decent five goal contributions in 1,277 minutes, but he failed to find major minutes despite the 28 appearances. Aliyu also finished the season with two starts in the final three months, as he fell entirely out of favor.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Franco - Poor in MLS debut Franco made 26 appearances (11 starts) and scored three times in 2023.
Impact Franco was brought in to provide another option in the Houston attack. He failed to do more than provide some depth off the bench, with only 11 starts and just over 1,000 minutes in 2023. He will be back in 2024, but he will need to improve a good bit to compete for a full-time starting role.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Griffin Dorsey - Ends as starter Dorsey finished 2023 as the starter at right-back and totaled 24 appearances.
Impact Dorsey played the fewest minutes of his three seasons with Houston, but he did finish with a career-best five goal contributions and three goals. The right-back will see consistent rotation moving forward more often than not but this was an encouraging season, especially with his consistent role in the playoffs.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Baird - Career year in 2023 Baird scored nine times and added five assists in 39 appearances in 2023.
Impact Baird played a major role throughout 2023, including a new career-best 14 goal contributions. The forward hadn't quite got going in Houston, but his third season proved to be far-and-away his best. If Baird can continue this type of growth he could be an MVP candidate in 2024.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nelson Quinones - Takes major role Quinones scored four times and assisted once in 33 appearances in 2023.
Impact Quinones played a crucial role in the attack during the 2023 season. The forward was excellent throughout and finished the season with a new career-high in every single category. The forward will be back in a big role on the left wing in 2024, where he will hope to continue this strong development.
