Alan Velasco - Takes shot in lossVelasco took a shot and won one of one tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against the Timbers.

ImpactVelasco hasn't scored in league play since March and his three goal involvements (two goals, one assist) overall this season are a far cry from his production in 2022 (seven goals, five assists). With Paul Arriola (thigh), Paxton Pomykal (quadriceps) and Sebastian Lletget (thigh) all still injured and Jesus Fereira about to depart on USMNT duty for a month at the Gold Cup, Velasco needs to take a step up in attacking responsibility from Dallas' wings.

Cristhian Paredes is now his partner in the position following season-ending knee injuries to Eryk Williamson and David Ayala.
