Walker Zimmerman - Returns off benchZimmerman (hamstring) played 30 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-2 win against D.C. United.

ImpactZimmerman has been out since July 4 because of international duty and then a hamstring injury added to that. If he's good to go following Sunday's appearance, there's a decent chance he'll be back in the starting XI Wednesday against Orlando, though on a short week, Jack Maher may stay there.

Jon Kempin - Drops form in shocking lossKempin made two saves and conceded five times in the 5-2 loss to Nashville on Sunday.

ImpactKempin made his second straight start since taking over the starting job again. Although, the keeper showed why he deserves quite the opposite. Kempin may not have gotten any help the entire match from his backline which makes things rather difficult. However, he could have made two different saves that may have altered the game's outcome, but he did not put in enough effort. It would be very surprising if he continues to start with another performance like this.

Ola Kamara - Continues crazy goal streak in lossKamara scored once, took three shots (one on target) and made one tackle (one won) during the 5-2 loss to Nashville on Sunday.

ImpactKamara is unstoppable at the moment and he continued to show why in the loss. The forward has started eight of his last nine matches and he has scored 10 goals in that time frame. During that period he is also averaging, 2.11 shots, 1.0 created chances, 0.22 crosses and 0.11 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. Kamara is currently one of the hottest forwards in the game and there is no reason to not continue to consider him day in and day out.

Paul Arriola - Creates beautiful assist in lossArriola assisted once, took one shot (none on target), created one chance and sent three crosses (none accurate) in the 5-2 loss to Nashville on Sunday.

ImpactArriola has been iffy since his return from the Gold Cup. He has started both matches and in that time he has one assist, four shots, three created chances and four crosses. When comparing that to his production prior to the Cup, it is a little concerning that the lack of playing time has possibly affected him. Nevertheless, Arriola is one of the better offensive minds in the starting XI for D.C. United and he will remain one of the best options.

Julian Gressel - Collects fourth assist of seasonGressel assisted once, produced one shot (one on target), created two chances, sent 11 crosses (one accurate), took four corners and intercepted twice in the 5-2 loss to Nashville...

ImpactGressel was a force for yet another match. The midfielder continues to abuse his freedom on the flank and he eclipsed double-digits in crosses for the second straight game. Unlike many set-piece takers in the league, a majority of Gressel's value comes from his open-play --8.68 crosses and 3.05 corners per match this season--. He seems to finally be rounding a corner after accumulating his third assist in five appearances. Prior to that he only had one assist and point on the season.

Frederic Brillant - Goes the distance in 5-2 lossBrillant scored once, took one shot (one on target) and made two tackles (two won) in the 5-2 loss to Nashville on Sunday.

ImpactBrillant was tremendous in a rather poor showing from his club. The defender not only kicked off the scoring affair for D.C., but he also made two different clearances off the line to keep them in the match. Brillant is not a strong peripheral player and he never has been. However, when he does put together a string of top-notch performances, he collects stats in bunches.
