Carlos Gruezo - Starting against Chicago Gruezo (not injury related) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Chicago Fire.

Impact Gruezo returned from international duty in time to fill in for the injured Niko Tsakiris (lower body) in the weekend clash. The Ecuadorian had previously made 13 MLS appearances in 2024, tallying eight shots (two on goal), 24 tackles, 20 clearances and 15 interceptions over that span. He'll likely continue to rack up defensive numbers from a holding midfield role.

Niko Tsakiris - Added to injury report Tsakiris (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's match against Chicago.

Impact Tsakiris appears to possibly be dealing with issues from the club's midweek game after his early exit, as he has been added to the injury report with a lower-body problem. He has started in their past six games, so his absence could be a sizable loss. That said, if he is left out, expect Jack Skahan or Alfredo Morales to get the start in his place.

William Yarbrough - Concedes twice in defeat Yarbrough had six saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to St. Louis City SC.

Impact Yarbrough was beaten twice in the first half as they fell to an early deficit. The goalkeeper registered six saves in the contest and didn't allow a goal in the second half. However, he has been under heavy pressure in his last four games, allowing 14 goals in that span. Next, he'll face off against Chicago, a team with 28 goals in 21 games.

Hernan Lopez - On bench versus St. Louis Lopez (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against St. Louis City.

Impact Lopez wasn't forced to miss any game because of the issue he picked up Saturday versus LA Galaxy. However, he's only available as a substitute, so he may just achieve a fraction of the 2.1 shots, 2.8 crosses and 2.3 chances created per contest he had been averaging. He'll look to replace Jack Skahan at some point, offering a more offensive-minded central midfield option.

Hernan Lopez - Suffers undisclosed injury Lopez was subbed out during San Jose's 3-0 loss Saturday against the Galaxy due to an undisclosed injury. He logged one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two cha...

Impact Lopez will be tagged as a game-time decision as San Jose's team prepares for its game at St. Louis on Wednesday, giving him limited time to recover. Lopez's injury could be costly, considering he has three goals and two assists across his nine MLS starts.

Cristian Espinoza - Logs 11 crosses, two accurate Espinoza logged 11 crosses (two accurate), four corners and three shots (zero on goal) during San Jose's 3-0 loss Saturday against the Galaxy.

Impact During every one of San Jose's games across June, Espinoza attempted at least 10 crosses. Unfortunately for him, his latest appearance was the only one this month in which he logged fewer than three crosses on target. Still, Espinoza will finish June with 19 accurate crosses across four appearances, good enough for 4.8 averaged per game.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Marie - Active during start Marie logged five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created during San Jose's 3-0 loss Saturday against the Galaxy.

Impact Five crosses and two chances created are season highs for Marie. Carlos Akapo (lower body) being out has resulted in San Jose's team using Marie as its primary right-back, which is expected to continue until the former recovers from his ongoing injury. So at least until Akapo can play, Marie is expected to get a significant uptick in output.

William Yarbrough - Returns with three goals conceded Yarbrough logged four saves but conceded three goals during San Jose's 3-0 loss Saturday against the Galaxy.

Impact San Jose's last two games were played with Jacob Jackson as the team goalkeeper. While the Earthquakes reverted to Yarbrough as their GK on Saturday, but he conceded more than two goals again. Whether it is him or Jackson in net, San Jose's team will need a much better performance out of its goalkeeper Wednesday at St. Louis.

Impact In the first half's third minute of added time, Rodrigues curled home a strike after collecting a Cristian Espinoza cross. This was his return from a lower body and was only his third goal of the season. This was also only his fifth time this season with two shots in a game and only his third with one shot or more on target.
