Corey Baird - Scores off bench in win Baird scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 81st minute.

Impact Baird came into the game after Nelson Quinones got injured, and he only needed a few minutes to find the back of the net after a mistake on the defensive end. The former Real Salt Lake forward has two goals across 16 matches, and both have come over his last three outings.

Steve Clark - Keeps clean sheet in win Clark made two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 4-0 win versus Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.

Impact Clark didn't have to work a lot to get the clean sheet, as Houston dominated the game entirely and LAFC didn't do much on the attacking end. This was his first shutout since May 7, and he should remain in the XI when these two teams meet again on Wednesday.

Amine Bassi - Scores penalty Saturday Bassi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Bassi scored Houston's second goal with a penalty kick, sending John McCarthy the other way. The talented playmaker has been one of Houston's best players and has scored seven goals already, including two over his last two appearances.

Adalberto Carrasquilla - Sets up goal in huge win Carrasquilla assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Carrasquilla set up the first goal of the match with a beautiful set-up, sending an outside-of-the-foot pass across the field that set up Nelson Quinones' strike. Carrasquilla has two assists over his last three appearances.

Nelson Quinones - Scores goal, picks up knock Quinones was subbed off due to injury in the 63rd minute of Sunday's 4-0 victory against Los Angeles Football Club. He scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cro...

Impact Quinones scored the opener in the 11th minute with a beautiful shot from the edge of the box, but he was fortunate since a defender deflected his shot. However, Quinones had to leave the game in the second half, and his presence in Wednesday's back-to-back game against LAFC is uncertain. The speedy winger has made just three starts this season, so even if he's healthy, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside.

Franco Escobar - Scores goal against LAFC Escobar scored a goal and won two of five tackles in Saturday's 4-0 victory against LAFC. He also made two clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Escobar added to LAFC's misery Saturday with a powerful arching strike from outside the box on the half volley, his first goal since arriving in Houston this offseason. He also picked up his fifth booking of the campaign in the game, meaning he will be suspended for Wednesday's rematch with LAFC. Daniel Steres is likely to return to the XI at right-back in his place.

Amine Bassi - Scores goal in Open Cup Bassi (undisclosed) started and played 73 minutes of Tuesday's victory against Chicago in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.

Impact Bassi missed last weekend's loss to St. Louis City for an undisclosed reason, but it seems he was just resting ahead of the cup clash on Tuesday. He's expected to be available once again versus LAFC in Saturday's league match.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amine Bassi - Misses STL defeat Bassi (undisclosed) was not involved in Saturday's loss to St. Louis City SC.

Impact Bassi had started 10 of Houston's last 11 league games heading into last weekend, but he missed out on the squad entirely on Saturday with Ivan Franco replacing him on the right wing in the XI.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Quinones - Eligible to return from suspension Quinones will be available for selection in next weekend's clash against LAFC after serving a red card suspension.

Impact Quinones missed Saturday's loss to St. Louis after getting sent off against the Whitecaps in the previous match, but he should be back on the bench to face LAFC next weekend as he's started just two of his 10 league appearances this season.

Erik Sviatchenko - Makes first MLS start Sviatchenko took a shot and made an interception in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against St. Louis City.

Impact Sviatchenko finally made his full MLS debut in central defense on Saturday after recovering from a lower body injury that delayed his start in Houston.

Hector Herrera - Takes two shots off bench Herrera subbed into Saturday's match against St. Louis City in the 60th minute, taking two shots and creating two chances in the 3-0 defeat.

Impact Herrera was given a rest at the start of Saturday's game, but he injected some urgency into his side's attack upon his introduction around the hour mark. He should return to the XI in midfield moving forward.

Adalberto Carrasquilla - Creates two chances in loss Carrasquilla took a shot on target and created two chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against St. Louis City SC. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Carrasquilla has now created multiple chances in three straight league games following Saturday's loss to STL, notching 17 overall and one assist across his last eight appearances dating back to late April.

Ivan Franco - Creates four chances vs. STL Franco took two shots (one on target) and created four chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against St. Louis City. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.

Impact Franco made his first start in a few weeks on Saturday as the arrival of Ibrahim Aliyu had largely displaced him from the XI recently, but he was very active from the right wing in defeat against St. Louis SC.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Aliyu - Takes four shots in loss Aliyu took four shots (three on target) in Wednesday's 6-2 defeat against the Whitecaps.

Impact Aliyu has started five league games in a row since joining Houston at the trade deadline, and the Vancouver match on Wednesday was his best individual performance thus far despite his side's heavy defeat. He seems to have quickly taken over from Corey Baird as the Dynamo's preferred striker.

Steve Clark - Clark Clark made one save and allowed six goals in Thursday's 6-2 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.

Impact Clark faced seven shots Wednesday and stopped just one of them during the one-sided loss. The goalkeeper had easily his worst showing of the year, single-handedly hurting his stat line for the season. Clark has made 41 saves and conceded 18 goals during 14 starts, while adding 10 clearances

Amine Bassi - Tallies in loss Bassi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 6-2 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Bassi netted his sixth goal of the season during Wednesday's one-sided loss. The forward was held off the scoresheet for seven matches before finally returning to the goals in the one-sided loss. Bassi will hope to find some strong form once more and continue a strong debut year in MLS.

Corey Baird - Opens 2023 account Baird scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Thursday's 6-2 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Baird finally opened his account in 2023 with a finish past Yohei Takoaka that proved to be little more than a consolation goal. Through 14 appearances (13 starts) Baird sits on one goal and two assists, a similar pace to his disappointing return in 2022.
