Daryl Dike - Exits early Friday Dike was forced off in the 64th minute of Friday's match against Miami with a possible leg injury. According to Julia Poe of Orlando Sentinel, his "left leg was wrapped" and he was...

Impact Dike barely saw the ball in Friday's match prior to being subbed off. He bagged a brace midweek in a route, but in a tough matchup, he struggled to get going. The hope is that it's not a serious injury in just his third appearance of the MLS season.

Brandon Austin - Keeps clean sheet against San Jose Austin kept a clean sheet with one save made during Tuesday's 5-0 win over San Jose.

Impact Austin didn't have much to do against a 'Quakes club that's now scoreless in their last three games and winless in their last six. While he hasn't exactly played perfectly during Pedro Gallese's absence on international duty, Austin will benefit form having the league's second-best defense in front of him as he's won his first two games. Up next is a trip to Inter Miami, which have scored just eight goals in nine games.

Daryl Dike - Scores twice in first start back Dike scored two goals from five shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 5-0 win over San Jose.

Impact Dike didn't take long to continue his scintillating form with a double against the 'Quakes. Since the start of his professional career in early 2020, Dike has scored 19 league goals in 45 games, which is an exceptionally impressive record for just about any player. He'll look forward to another favorable matchup against Inter Miami, which have conceded 14 goals in nine games.

Benji Michel - Bags brace in win Michel scored two goals from five shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 5-0 win over San Jose.

Impact Michel made just his third start of the season but took full advantage of the chance to score the second and final goals of the game. With Michel also scoring goals, the attacking options get even deeper for this club, so Michel will need to earn his place in the lineup with consistency before reliable value can be expected.

Chris Mueller - Logs another assist in win Mueller provided one assist from four chances created during Tuesday's 5-0 win over San Jose.

Impact Mueller has set up goals in two straight games after failing to contribute to a score in four consecutive appearances. He's had to play more of a creative role or come off the bench early into the season, but he's starting to make a stronger case for his regular inclusion in the lineup. It's also important to see if Mueller gets called up to any of the United States national teams for the late-Summer tournaments as that would also dampen his value in league games. For now, he'll next travel to Inter Miami, which have conceded 14 goals in nine games.

Nani - Scores from spot, sets up two more Nani scored one penalty goal and provided two assists from three chances created during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Orlando City.

Impact Nani is in an impressive run of form this season and has gone without a goal or assist on just two occasions in seven games. Tuesday's effort was certainly one of his more efficient performances with only one shot taken and two crosses provided, though it helps to face a defense that played as poorly as San Jose did in this game. Up next for Nani is a trip to Inter Miami, which have conceded 14 goals in nine games.

Rodrigo Schlegel - Remains in Argentina Schlegel is in Argentina following the death of his father, who had contracted COVID-19. He doesn't have a timeline to return to the team, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact Schlegel went down to Argentina a month ago and things unfortunately didn't get better for his family. Once he returns to Orlando, he'll likely need a few days of training to get back his fitness, so it's unknown when he'll be an option again.
