Alejandro Bedoya - Could be available off bench Bedoya (quadriceps) is expected to be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Red Bulls, Jose Roberto Nunez of AAT Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Having Bedoya back as an alternative in midfield is great news for the Union, as they'll be missing Jose Andres Martinez (international duty) and Jesus Bueno (ankle). Bedoya has started in eight of his 17 appearances this season.

Andre Blake - Not ready to return Saturday Blake (knee) is not ready to return ahead of Saturday's game against the Red Bulls, according to Jose Roberto Nunez of AAT Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Seeing Blake back in training is undoubtedly positive, but the Jamaican goalkeeper is not ready to return Saturday. This means the Union will go with Andrew Vincent Rick between the posts due to Oliver Semmle's recent struggles. Blake could be one or two weeks away from returning to action.

JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Bueno - Won't face NY Red Bulls Bueno has been ruled out to face the Red Bulls on Saturday due to an ankle injury sustained in the 4-3 loss to Chicago on Wednesday, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Losing Bueno creates a hole in midfield for the Union since they're also missing Jose Andres Martinez (not injury related) due to international duty with Venezuela and Alejandro Bedoya (quadriceps) due to injury. Sanders Nagbo could be one of the options to replace him in defensive midfield.

JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Damion Lowe - Set to return Saturday Lowe (not injury related) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Red Bulls, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Lowe represented Jamaica in the Copa America and will be ready to return to club duty. It wouldn't be shocking if he gets the nod to be a starter right away.

Oliver Semmle - Concedes four goals Wednesday Semmle made six saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Chicago Fire.

Impact Semmle had another woeful showing, and while he didn't have a lot of blame on the goals he conceded, the fact that he was beaten four times can't be overlooked. Semmle has given up 29 goals across 17 appearances, but he figures to remain in a starting role as long as Andre Blake (knee) remains sidelined.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Jack McGlynn - Scores vs. Chicago McGlynn scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Chicago Fire.

Impact McGlynn bolstered Philadelphia's lead even further with a long-range effort that defeated Chris Brady in the early stages of the second half. Even though he plays as a central midfielder, McGlynn has found a way to make an impact in the final third, as evidenced by the fact he's bagged three goals and three assists this season. He continues to have a breakout season in midfield for the Union.

Daniel Gazdag - Two goal contributions Wednesday Gazdag scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat versus Chicago Fire. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th min...

Impact Gazdag found the back of the net with a well-taken penalty in the first half, and he also set up the team's third goal with a clever touch to Jack McGlynn. This was his first start since returning from Euro duties with Hungary, and he continues to play at a high level in MLS, as he's now scored four goals across his last six appearances.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Donovan - Bags goal Wednesday Donovan scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 loss versus Chicago Fire.

Impact Donovan found the back of the net with a lucky bounce, as he got in the way of a long-range shot from Leon Flach, but his deflection was enough to defeat Chris Brady. Donovan scored his first goal of the season here, but given he's made just three starts all season long, his fantasy upside should be limited in most slates.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Leon Maximilian Flach - Credited with assist in loss Flach assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Chicago Fire.

Impact Flach was credited with setting up the Union's first goal, and while he attempted to find the back of the net with a long-range shot, the same attempt was deflected home by Chris Donovan. This was Flach's second assist of the season, and both have come across his last two appearances.

Markus Anderson - Substitute option at Chicago Anderson (hip) is on the bench for the midweek game against Chicago Fire.

Impact Anderson has barely played lately, but his return to full fitness adds an offensive option to the team. The youngster could feature up front in either Quinn Sullivan's or Chris Donovan's place.

Leon Maximilian Flach - Logs assist in loss Flach delivered an assist and made one tackle and one interception during Saturday's 4-2 loss against Philadelphia.

Impact Flach usually has his fantasy outputs highlighting the defensive work he does, but this time his biggest contribution came on offense as he used his head to assist Jesus Bueno for his side's second goal just before halftime. This was the first assist of the year for Flach and that definitely shouldn't be expected to become a trend.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Bueno - Scores in loss Bueno scored a goal off his lone shot and made three tackles (all won) and two interceptions during Saturday's 4-2 loss against Montreal.

Impact Bueno had another great display in the middle of the park, showing a lot of tenacity while also contributing offensively as he gave his side a 2-1 lead just before halftime by appearing at the far post to slot the ball home after the defense failed to clear it. With Jose Andres Martinez out with his national team, Bueno started the last three matches and had two goals, six shots and 10 tackles, proving he has everything needed to become a full-time starter.

Nathan Harriel - Logs assist in loss Harriel delivered an assist, created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and made five tackles (one won), three clearances and one interception during Saturday's 4-2...

Impact Harriel was very active on both ends here, being solid defensively and even better on the attack, as he assisted Quinn Sullivan for the goal that opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark and went up the field whenever given room to do so. With three assists over 19 appearances this year and multiple outputs with contributions on both ends, the full-back is enjoying the best season of his career,

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Quinn Sullivan - Scores in loss Sullivan scored a goal off three shots (all on target), created two chances and sent in four crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 4-2 loss against Montreal.

Impact Sullivan was one of his team's biggest threats up front, opening the scoring just before the half-hour mark with a finish that went into the far post and being involved in many other dangerous plays throughout the contest. This has been a breakthrough campaign for the youngster, who has two goals and five assists over 20 appearances and consolidated himself as a full-time starter.
