Jack Skahan - Scores in draw vs. Nashville Skahan scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Nashville SC.

Impact Skahan took advantage of a perfect pass from Rodrigues that allowed him to beat Joe Willis in a one-on-one situation. Skahan started each of San Jose's first three games of the season but has been coming off the bench since, and his contributions this year are not enough to consider him in most formats.

Rodrigues - Records assist in draw Saturday Rodrigues assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Nashville SC. He was injured and subbed out in the 87th minute.

Impact Rodrigues is often known for his defensive capacities, but he made his presence felt in the attack in this one. His lobbed pass broke the defensive line, allowing Jack Skahan to score on a one-on-one situation. This was Rodrigues' first assist of the season. but the center-back, who has started each of San Jose's 10 games this campaign, should continue to earn most of his stats via defensive contributions.

William Yarbrough - Makes four saves Saturday Yarbrough made four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nashville SC.

Impact There was nothing Yarbrough could've done to avoid Hany Mukhtar's impressive goal, as the veteran playmaker drilled a bomb into an impossible angle from nearly 30 yards out. Yarbrough will aim to bounce back when San Jose takes on LAFC on May 4, in what promises to be another difficult matchup for the Quakes' defensive line.

Niko Tsakiris - Limited impact Saturday Tsakiris had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nashville SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 14th minute.

Impact Tsakiris was unable to make much of an impact for the Earthquakes in this one, and that has been the trend for him in 2024. Despite starting in each of San Jose's last six games, he's not been very influential from his central midfield role.

Jacob Jackson - Claimed by San Jose Jackson was claimed off waivers by San Jose, the club announced Monday.

Impact Jackson made just three appearances during three seasons with the Revolution and now makes the move out west. There's little hope of Jackson taking on a major role with San Jose, but he could have a chance to earn a spot higher on the depth chart.

Alfredo Morales - Added to injury report Morales (lower body) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Nashville.

Impact Morales was a late addition to the injury report with a lower body injury. It's not the most clear report obviously so there's no real guess on Morales' status for the upcoming match. The midfielder has started four of the last five and if fit could start again.

Since arriving in San Jose in 2022, he's made 51 appearances and been named a starter in every appearance.

Benjamin Kikanovic - Scores off the bench Kikanovic scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-3 loss versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Kikanovic entered the match for San Jose Sunday for the final 33 minutes and made his presence felt with a goal, though San Jose eventually fell 3-4 versus Los Angeles Galaxy. The goal was Kikanovic's second of the season and first since the opening match. Kikanovic has appeared nine times (four starts) in 2024 for San Jose.

William Yarbrough - Concedes four in loss Yarbrough recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-3 loss versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Yarbrough was tested throughout the match Sunday, facing seven shots on target and making three saves, as San Jose fell to Los Angeles Galaxy 3-4. Yarbrough has had a difficult beginning to life in San Jose after arriving via trade in the offseason. In his five starting appearances in 2024, he's made 15 saves and conceded 15 goals without having kept a clean sheet. Yarbrough and the San Jose defense will face a softer test next Saturday when they travel to take on Nashville who have scored just nine times in their eight MLS matches in 2024.
