Nani - Scores off bench Nani scored one goal on his only shot and created one chance from five crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with FC Cincinnati.

Impact Nani was given a rest from starting but still made the difference as he put away the equalizing goal. He's now scored twice and added two assists over his last three matches, a streak that he'll hope to continue in the next game at Nashville, which have conceded the fewest goals in the league to forwards.

Oriol Rosell - Picks up injury in draw Rosell suffered an injury during Saturday's 1-1 draw with FC Cincinnati, according to manager Oscar Pareja via Julia Poe of the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact Rosell was unfortunately left in a little too long with a knock and may have made his injury worse, and a goal was also given up when he couldn't move fast enough anymore. Andres Perea took his place on the pitch during this game, though there's 10 days until the next match and Rosell could get by without missing any matches if his injury proves to be minor.

Mason Stajduhar - Invisible in draw Stajduhar made no saves and one clearance during Wednesday's one-all draw with Miami.

Impact Stajduhar quite literally did nothing, facing one shot and conceding from it. The keeper is unlikely to play once Pedro Gallese is back, especially after two brutal performances.

Kyle Smith - Four crosses in draw Smith sent in four crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's one-all draw with Miami.

Impact Smith was excellent going forward, but failed to get much done with some inaccurate crosses. The defender has failed to offer any sort of offensive upside something he will need to change to have major fantasy value. His next match is a favorable clash Saturday, against Cincinnati.

Junior Urso - Busy defensively Urso made three tackles and three interceptions during Wednesday's one-all draw with Miami.

Impact Urso had plenty to do defensively but didn't get going forward in the slightest. The midfielder has been playing solid defense, but only has two goals on the year. Urso has a very favorable match against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Andres Perea - Four tackles in draw Perea made four tackles and one interception during Wednesday's one-all draw with Miami.

Impact Perea was busy behind the ball in the midfield, but failed to get much going moving forward. He has little upside offensively this season and will look to bounce back in a favorable trip to Cincinnati on Saturday.

Nani - Assists in draw Nani provided one assist on five chances created during Wednesday's one-all draw with Miami.

Impact Nani grabbed his sixth assist of the season during Wednesday's draw. The forward has been on fire of late, scoring or assisting in his last four starts. Nani will look to keep the streak going Saturday, away to Cincinnati.

Antonio Carlos - Scores, leaves with possible concussion Carlos scored in the first half but exited at the break after suffering a possible concussion in Wednesday's match against Miami, according to Julia Poe of Orlando Sentinel.

Impact If it's indeed a concussion, Carlos would be out of Saturday's match against Cincinnati and even if it's not, there's a chance he's held out on a short week. Rodrigo Schlegel replaced him Wednesday and would likely get the start if needed.

Adam Grinwis - Rejoins Orlando City Grinwis signed with Orlando City on Saturday as a free agent. He's committed to the club through the rest of the season with an option for 2022.

Impact Grinwis isn't much more than a backup option but Pedro Gallese (leg) is out for multiple weeks and Brandon Austin returned to Tottenham, so there's a need to be filled with a trusted option. After Mason Statjduhar conceded two goals in his season debut, Grinwis could easily get a few starts over the rest of the month.

Mason Stajduhar - Concedes two goals in win Stajduhar made a save but conceded two goals in Friday's 3-2 victory against Atlanta United.

Impact Stajduhar made his first MLS appearance on Friday, filling in for the injured Pedro Gallese (leg). Stajduhar was beaten by strikes from Josef Martinez and Marcelino Moreno, but his side pulled through and beat Atlanta, so he will have some confidence ahead of what should be an easier test Wednesday against bottom-of-the-Eastern Conference Inter Miami, which have scored just 10 goals in 13 matches this season.

Benji Michel - Records assist in win Michel took four shots (two on target) and assisted a goal in Friday's 3-2 victory against Atlanta United. He also made two interceptions in the match.

Impact Michel set up Silvester van der Water's equalizer in Friday's back-and-forth game, before Nani eventually won the three points against Atlanta. It was Michel's third assist of the season, and he will want even more Wednesday against Inter Miami, which have conceded 23 goals in 13 MLS matches.

Silvester Van der Water - Scores goal against Atlanta Van der Water scored a goal and recorded an assist in Friday's 3-2 victory against Atlanta United.

Impact Van der Water changed the game when he was introduced late in the second half, scoring the equalizer and setting up Nani's game winner in his 16 minutes on the pitch. He may have earned another start Wednesday against last-placed Inter Miami.
