Felipe Mora - Picks up leg issue Mora (leg) is questionable for Saturday's trip to St. Louis, according to the MLS injury report.
Impact Mora scored but came off after 45 minutes last time out, and it appears that was due to injury. The striker has been scorching hot of late, scoring eight goals and assisting once in the first 13 matches. Mora would be the preferred starting option if he can get fit, with Antony an option if he can't.

Larrys Mabiala - Dealing with upper body issue Mabiala (upper body) was not an option for Saturday's 2-2 draw to Houston, per Jeremy Peterman of the Cascadia F.C.
Impact Mabiala made just one appearances this season as he continues to lack fitness while struggling to regain form from injuries. Even if fit, the defender is not expected to be much of an impact despite getting one start in the one appearances this campaign.

Evander - Assists in home draw Evander assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Houston Dynamo. In addition, he was given a yel...
Impact Evander created Nathan Fogaca's equalizer in the 76th minute with his sixth assist in the campaign. The midfielder also led Portland with a season-high 10 crosses in the match. He's doing great so far, with seven goals to his name in 13 appearances (12 starts) as well.
JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE
Felipe Mora - Scores in home draw Mora scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Houston Dynamo.
Impact Mora scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 37th minute with his eighth goal in the campaign. That was also his ninth start in 13 overall appearances.
JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE
Maxime Crepeau - Makes one save in draw Crepeau (not injury related) recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Crepeau did not have a good outing, conceding in two of the three shots he faced. The goalkeeper has no clean sheets yet after 13 stars. He will now look to bounce back after the international break, since he will miss the game againt St Louis on Saturday.
JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE
Claudio Bravo - Plays 62 minutes Bravo generated two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Bravo saw his first start since returning from injury, having made just two appearances since May 4. He's started five of the seven appearances, recording 14 clearances, 10 crosses (two accurate) and 17 tackles (11 won) to open up his fourth campaign with the team.

Maxime Crepeau - Called up by Canada Crepeau has been called up by the Canadian National Team and is out for Saturday's match against St. Louis.
Impact Crepeau will leave the club without their starting keeper while he serves in a pair of friendlies with Canada. That will lead James Pantemis to get the start, as he is the only other keeper to feature for the club this campaign. However, once Crepeau returns, he will assume his starting spot back.
JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE
Kamal Miller - Serving with Canada Miller has been called up by the Canadian National Team and is out for Saturday's match against St. Louis.
Impact Miller is now set to take place in a pair of friendlies with Canada, leaving the club without a regular starter for Saturday's match. This will likely leave Dario Zuparic and Zac McGraw to start in the center of the defense and Claudio Bravo to serve at left-back. Miller should only miss one match, probably immediately gaining back his starting spot once he returns.
JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Araujo - On international duty with Peru Araujo has been called up to the Peruvian National Team and is out for Saturday's match against St. Louis.
Impact Araujo will leave the club without a regular starter as he serves with Peru during a pair of friendlies. This will likely leave Zac McGraw and Dario Zuparic as the starting center-backs while Araujo is out. His next chance to return will be against San Jose on June 19.

Santiago Moreno - Starting against Dynamo Moreno (leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Houston.
Impact Moreno is back in the starting XI for Saturday's clash after struggling with a leg issue. The midfielder missed out midweek due to the injury but evidently the extra days were enough for him to get fit once more.

Evander - Scores in win over Austin Evander scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Austin FC.
Impact Evander opened the scoring through a fantastic free kick shot in first half stoppage time during the victory. It was his seventh goal of the season and came in his 12th appearance as a central attacking midfielder. With outstanding form and set-piece talent, Evander should stay in the lineup and be a serious threat for opposing defenses in future matchups. The only detail that could detract from him is that he has ceded some penalty kicks to Felipe Mora and Jonathan Rodriguez.

Antony Alves Santos - Active in victory Antony generated one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Austin FC.
Impact Antony failed to score or assist but got involved all around the field and won the penalty kick that led to the visitors' second goal at Austin. The young winger is on a 12-game scoreless streak, so his fantasy impact remains limited despite his occasional defensive efforts. He has gotten playing time on both flanks in a rotation with both Santiago Moreno and Dairon Asprilla.
MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Araujo - Makes eight clearances at Austin Araujo generated eight clearances in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Austin FC.
Impact Araujo helped his side to their first clean sheet of the year with various defensive stats in Wednesday's clash. He has now contributed three or more clearances in six successive matches, becoming an essential member of the Timbers' back line in recent weeks.
MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE
Dario Zuparic - Earns clean sheet in win Zuparic recorded two tackles (two won), four clearances and one interception in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Austin FC.
Impact Zuparic played his fifth consecutive match as part of a back four that finally kept an opponent off the score sheet. The defender is averaging 3.9 clearances and 2.6 tackles per game when in the starting lineup. He'll aim to improve those numbers if he retains the spot, with clean sheet chances still far from guaranteed for his team.
