Tim Parker - Starting Saturday Parker (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake.
Impact Parker is back in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake after missing a clash with San Jose due to a groin issue. The defender has been a nailed-on starter when fit and is a safe bet to go a full 90 if he has recovered completely.

Samuel Adeniran - Takes three shots off bench Adeniran subbed into Saturday's match against the Earthquakes in the 65th minute, taking three shots (one on target) in the 3-0 victory.
Impact Adeniran was dangerous coming off the bench against San Jose on Saturday, though the 24-year-old is still looking for his first ever MLS goal. He's already tied his personal appearance record across a single campaign as he's now played in exactly two games in each of his three seasons in the league, but it seems he will have a larger role in St. Louis as Joao Klauss' backup striker than he ever did while with the Sounders from 2021-22.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lucas Bartlett - Keeps clean sheet in first MLS start Bartlett made a block, five clearances and an interception in Saturday's 3-0 victory against San Jose. He also took a shot on target and won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Bartlett made his full MLS debut on Saturday, filling in for Tim Parker (undisclosed) in central defense and he helped St. Louis' first ever clean sheet as his side shut out the Earthquakes.
