Impact Oviedo has started each of RSL's first two games of the season at left-back, but winter signing Brayan Vera is likely to push him for the spot in the XI as the campaign continues.

Braian Ojeda - Makes three clearances in loss Ojeda made a block, three clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Sounders.

Zac MacMath - Concedes two goals to Seattle MacMath made five saves but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Sounders.
Impact MacMath was beaten by a Jordan Morris header and a tap-in from Heber on Saturday, but he did well to even keep the scoreline modest against what looks like a very strong Seattle side. Next weekend he will face Austin FC, which have scored three goals in two matches this season.

Andrew Brody - Starting as expected Brody (head) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Seattle.
Impact Brody is straight back in the starting XI after a head injury saw him brought off the pitch during the opener against Vancouver. The full-back trained fully and was off the injury report, pointing towards full fitness for Saturday's clash.

Pablo Ruiz - Has green card, still doubtful Ruiz (visa) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Seattle despite receiving his green card, Lucas Muller reports.
Impact Ruiz is a doubt Saturday even though he has received his green card, as he has yet to train and get up to match fitness. With Jasper Loffelsend receiving a two-match ban it remains to be seen what the defensive midfield pairing will look like Saturday.

Jasper Loffelsend - Suspended for two matches Loffelsend was handed a two-match ban for spitting on an opponent during the season opener against Vancouver, according to manager Pablo Mastroeni.
Impact Loffelsend picked up a two-match ban for the incident and will now be sidelined for a clash with Seattle and Austin. The midfielder went the full 90 in the opener and now leaves a major gap in the starting XI. Scott Caldewell is one potential replacement in the center of the lineup.

Rubio Rubin - Returning from suspension Rubin is eligible to play against the Sounders this weekend after serving a red card suspension.
Impact Rubin was sent off in the playoff defeat to Austin FC that ended his side's 2022 campaign, and he served a one-game suspension in last weekend's season-opening win over the Whitecaps. Anderson Julio started up front in that win with new signing Andres Gomez coming off the bench, but Rubin will be an option in the XI as well now that he's back.

Andrew Brody - Should be available Saturday Brody (head) is not listed in RSL's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Sounders.
Impact Brody had to come out of last weekend's season opener with a possible head injury late on, but he's not carrying a designation into the Seattle game and could be fit enough to remain the starter at right-back this weekend.

Julio Benitez - Loaned to Madison Benitez has been loaned to Forward Madison, RSL announced Tuesday.
Impact Benitez has been sent on a one-year loan to Forward Madison in the USL. The midfielder was unlikely to break into the first team in MLS but should have more of a chance to earn playing time in the USL.

Anderson Julio - Creates two chances in win Julio took a shot on target and created two chances in Saturday's 2-1 victory against the Whitecaps. He also made two interceptions and won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Julio started up front against Vancouver on Saturday and performed fairly well until Danny Musovski replaced him in the 79th minute. Julio is likely to transition into the backup option behind new signing Andres Gomez as the season progresses.

Zac MacMath - Busy for opening day win MacMath recorded six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact MacMath faced seven shots and stopped six of them to come away with the win Saturday. The goalkeeper enjoyed a strong performance and got the late help he deserved from the attack in front of him. MacMath could be a volatile option with the potential to face consistently high shot volume.

Maikel Chang - Assists Saturday Chang assisted once to go with eight crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Chang got on the board with an assist Saturday. The strong start is encouraging after a disappointing 2022 where he was held to just six goal contributions. With a fully healthy attack surrounding him Chang could be in store for far more offensive opportunities in 2023.

Jefferson Savarino - Assists in opener Savarino assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Savarino got on the scoresheet with an assist during Saturday's win, opening the 2023 campaign on a high note. The winger was a driving force in 2022 with 11 goal contributions (seven goals, four assists). With Damir Kreilach back in the starting XI and healthy Savarino could have even more upside with an outside chance at 20 goal contributions.

Damir Kreilach - Returns with goal Kreilach scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Kreilach is fit and on the pitch to open 2023 and he is right back in the goals. The superstar attacking midfielder found his way onto the scoresheet at the first time of asking. Kreilach would be an elite option when fit, with the potential for MVP numbers certainly on the table.

Justen Glad - Nets in win Glad scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Glad opened the 2023 campaign with a hugely important goal to secure the win over Vancouver. The defender isn't a consistent offensive threat, but the goal remains a nice boon for him moving forward. Glad totaled three goals in 2022 and isn't worth chasing for his goal-scoring prowess.

Andrew Brody - Comes off injured late Brody generated five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He was injured and subbed out in the 88th minute.
Impact Brody was brought off late in the second half with an undisclosed issue during Saturday's win. The defender is a crucial part of the first team, and would be a major loss if ruled out for any extended period of time. The first chance for Brody to return is a Saturday trip to Seattle.
