JT Marcinkowski - Named to bench again Marcinkowski is once again on San Jose's bench for Wednesday's clash against the Sounders.

Impact Marcinkowski kept three clean sheets and conceded 15 goals across 11 straight league starts from mid-March through late May, but he's now being supplanted in goal by Daniel for a second straight match on Wednesday.

Paul Marie - Added to injury report Marie (knee) is listed as questionable on the San Jose injury report for Wednesday's clash with Seattle.

Impact Marie is questionable after evidently picking up a knee injury sometime during the week. With Carlos Akapo ruled out Marie would figure to return to the starting XI, though if he's unable to pass his own fitness checks it could be Thommy Thompson who gets the start.

Jonathan Mensah - Out again Mensah (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's clash with Seattle, according to the San Jose injury report.

Impact Mensah is sidelined once again as he deals with an undisclosed issue. The defender's next chance to return is a Saturday trip to Colorado. Tanner Beason is likely to continue in the starting XI in place of Mensah for Wednesday's clash.

Judson - Sent off against Dallas Judson was shown a red card during stoppage time of Saturday's draw against FC Dallas following a heated argument with an opponent that led to his second booking of the match.

Impact Judson had only subbed into Saturday's game in the 75th minute and was sent off for a double booking during the final quarter-of-an-hour plus stoppage time. He will be suspended for the midweek clash against the Sounders, but he's started just one of his nine league matches this season in midfield so his absence won't affect San Jose's lineup too much.

Daniel - Three saves in return Daniel made three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

Impact Daniel returned to the starting XI and made three saves during Saturday's draw. The goalkeeper was out and benched for 12 matches despite opening the season as the start. It remains to be seen if it will be Daniel or JT Marcinowski seeing consistent starts moving forward.

Cristian Espinoza - Five corners in draw Espinoza had one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

Impact Espinoza was held off the scoresheet for the third straight match but maintained some major volume. In the three scoreless matches Espinoza has sent in 30 crosses and created seven chances while maintaining a major role on set-pieces. Espinoza is up to eight goals and three assists in 14 matches and is putting together an MVP-caliber year if he can find the red-hot form he opened the season with once more.

Miguel Trauco - Three crosses Saturday Trauco registered four shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus FC Dallas.

Impact Trauco sent in three crosses and peppered the goal with four shots but failed to get on the scoresheet. The left-back has been a consistent starter when fully fit and available and has already scored his first MLS goal. That said Trauco has yet to earn an assist despite creating seven chances and sending in 11 crosses in 10 appearances.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tanner Beason - Rare assist in draw Beason assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

Impact Beason made his ninth appearance and first start during Saturday's draw, and provided an assist. The center-back isn't a consistent option, going unused on the bench more often than not, and often seeing minimal playing time even when summoned. Beason is unlikely to be any sort of offensive option even when in the starting XI.

Benjamin Kikanovic - Nets in start Kikanovic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

Impact Kikanovic finally opened his account in 2023, netting in his third consecutive start. The forward opened the season on the bench but has now taken a role in the starting XI with Cade Cowell on national team duty. Kikanovic is coming off a six-goal, three-assist 2022, but wasn't able to earn a consistent starting role. When on the pitch and in the starting XI Kikanovic is a creative attacker with upside, though playing 90 minutes is unlikely.
