Maikel Chang - Starts in cup match Chang (undisclosed) started and played 76 minutes in Wednesday's victory against Colorado in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16.

Impact Chang missed last weekend's league win over the same opponents with an injury he suffered in the previous match against Portland, but he was able to play more than an hour in the Open Cup on Wednesday and should remain available for selection likely as a bench option on the wings at the weekend.

Impact Holt was making his first league appearance since mid-March after recovering from Achilles and shoulder injuries over the last few months, but he only lasted one half before having to come back off once again with a new issue. Even when fully fit, he's now behind Marcelo Silva (back), Justen Glad and Brayan Vera in RSL's center-back depth chart.

Zac MacMath - Beaten twice versus Colorado MacMath made two saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado.

Impact MacMath's stat line wasn't as encouraging as those who picked him for fantasy teams wished but he wasn't at fault for either goal allowed and still made a miraculous save when the match was still scoreless in the fifth minute, preventing a goal that could've altered the story of the game. The goalkeeper, who was coming off three clean sheets over the previous four starts, will try to keep up with his strong play during next Saturday's visit to Minnesota.

Rubio Rubin - Provides assist against Colorado Rubin made an assist during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado.

Impact Rubin returned to the lineup after being an unused substitute on the previous match and, despite assisting Damir Kreilach for his side's third goal, had an overall uninspiring performance, which ultimately led him to be subbed off during the closing stages of the contest. The forward, who remains looking to get back to the form displayed in 2021, will hope to remain on the team for next Saturday's visit to Minnesota.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Damir Kreilach - Scores in win over Colorado Kreilach scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado.

Impact Kreilach had his first start in almost two months and made most of the opportunity, being one of his side's most dangerous players during the first half and making it 3-1 for RSL with a one-timed finish with his right foot just before halftime. This was the second goal of the campaign for the forward, who will hope to remain in the lineup for next Saturday's visit to Minnesota.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Musovski - Scores in win over Colorado Musovski scored a goal off his lone shot, created one chance and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado.

Impact Musovski returned to the starting XI and made most of the lone scoring chance he had, appearing at the right place to slot the ball home off a rebound from the goalkeeper to double RSL's lead in the 21st minute. This was the first goal of the season for the forward, who has been in and out of the lineup as of late and will hope to retain his spot for the upcoming contests.

Bode Davis - Logs assist against Colorado Hidalgo provided an assist, sent in three inaccurate crosses, made one tackle, one clearance and two interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado...

Impact Hidalgo made his second consecutive start here and, despite assisting Pablo Ruiz for the opening goal of the match, had another average performance, not doing enough to convince his coach he's a much better option than Andrew Brody. The appearance on the scoresheet could very well give Hidalgo an edge to remain in the lineup for next Saturday's visit to Minnesota but this is still an open competition to see who gets the nod.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Ruiz - Scores opener against Colorado Ruiz scored a goal off his lone shot during Sunday's 3-2 win over Colorado.

Impact Ruiz found the back of the net with a powerful long-range shot to open the scoring for Salt Lake but then couldn't add anything substantial during the rest of the contest. This was the second goal of the campaign for the holding midfielder, already matching his career-best mark set last season. Up next for Ruiz is Saturday's visit to Minnesota.

Jefferson Savarino - Doesn't travel Saturday Savarino didn't travel for Saturday's clash with Colorado due to personal reasons, Lucas Muller reports.

Impact Savarino won't play during Saturday's match after staying in Salt Lake due to personal reasons. The timeframe for his return is unclear, but he will leave an immediate gap in the starting XI. Anderson Julio and Rubio Rubin will likely pair in attack with Savarino out of contention.

Erik Holt - Listed as probable Holt (shoulder) is listed as probable for Saturday's trip to Colorado, according to the RSL injury report.

Impact Holt made his return to the bench mid-week, though he went unused. He's back on the injury report but listed as probable, a good sign he could make a full return during Saturday's trip to Colorado. After a long-term injury a came off the bench is more likely than any major playing time.

Maikel Chang - Absent from injury report Chang (undisclosed) is absent from the RSL injury report for Saturday's clash with Colorado.

Impact Chang came off with an injury late during a Thursday draw with Portland but has avoided the injury report all together for Saturday's trip. With no injury designation it's likely the issue was minor and Chang should have the chance to make a full return to the first team. In his last three matches Chang has started twice and gone unused on the bench once.

Marcelo Silva - Game-time call Saturday Silva (back) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Colorado, according to the RSL injury report.

Impact Silva remains a game-time call as he continues to deal with a back injury. The central defender has missed three matches in a row with the injury and continues to work towards a return. After a lengthy time on the sideline it's likely Silva will be brought back to the bench and not rushed straight into the starting XI, even if deemed fit.
