Stefan Cleveland - Has huge performance in first start Cleveland made seven saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC.

Impact Cleveland kept Seattle in the match with a few huge saves, especially in the second half as Austin pressed for a winner and the match opened up. Stefan Frei (quad) was out with an injury and his outlook is uncertain at this point, which makes it possible that Cleveland keeps a starting role for a trip to Minnesota on April 2 following the international break.

Cristian Roldan - Provides assist during draw Roldan provided an assist, created three scoring chances and put in two crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC.

Impact Roldan found Will Bruin in the 43rd minute to open the scoring for Seattle. He received a through ball down the right flank and struck a low cross that Bruin bundled home. This was a quality point for Seattle in a hostile point and Roldan looked dangerous on a couple occasions. He'll now head off for international duty with the United States before Seattle travels to Minnesota on April 2.

Josh Atencio - Trains ahead of Leon match Atencio (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's training and could play against Leon on Thursday, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reports.

Impact Atencio has yet to play this season but could be an option off the bench against Leon. He's a fringe starter even when fit so it's unlikely he has a ton of value heading into Thursday's match, or against Austin FC on Sunday.

Nicolas Lodeiro - Participating in training Lodeiro (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's training and could be an option against Leon on Thursday, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reports.

Impact Lodeiro has missed the past two matches, but was able to train and could be an option against Leon. He has yet to start a match this season, which makes it unlikely he starts Thursday given his lack of playing time.

Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Unavailable against Leon Gomez won't travel for Thursday's CCL match against Leon due to an ankle injury, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reports.

Impact Gomez picked up the ankle injury during Saturday's win over Los Angeles Galaxy and won't be able to play due to the short turnaround. Seattle will travel to Austin FC on Sunday, which Gomez will likely have to miss as well due to his lack of training following the injury. Jackson Ragen replaced him at center-back against Los Angeles, which could be the case against Leon and Austin FC.

Jimmy Medranda - Participates in light training Medranda (hamstring) trained on the side Tuesday and is questionable for Thursday's CCL match against Leon, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reports.

Impact Medranda will likely miss out again Thursday, but it's a step in the right direction for him to participate in light training on the side. He'll likely miss Thursday's match and will hope to return in Sunday's trip to Austin FC.

Raul Ruidiaz - Training on the side Ruidiaz (hamstring) was unable to participate in full training on Tuesday and is questionable for Thursday's CCL match against Leon, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reports.

Impact It's a positive sign that Ruidiaz is participating in some physical activity, though he'll likely need to wait until he returns to full training for him to come back into the starting XI. His next chance to play will come Thursday, which is a stretch, or Sunday's trip to Austin FC.

Jackson Ragen - Subs on against Los Angeles Ragen made four clearances during Saturday's 3-2 win over Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Ragen replaced Yeimar Gomez in the 52nd minute after Gomez came off with an undisclosed injury. If Gomez is unable to play in Sunday's trip to Austin FC, it's possible Ragen will be called upon to make his second start of the season.

Alex Roldan - Provides assist for match winner Roldan provided an assist, put in four crosses (two accurate) and made four tackles (won three) during Saturday's 3-2 win over Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Roldan whipped in a free kick that Xavier Arreaga met with a header in the 72nd minute, which gave Seattle the win and their first points of the season. Roldan has started all three MLS matches so far and will continue to be relied upon in Sunday's match against Austin FC.

Albert Rusnak - Makes third straight start Rusnak took one shot (one on goal) and drew four fouls during Saturday's 3-2 win over Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Rusnak has been a mainstay in the midfield for Seattle to start the season, but he hasn't had any monster performances quite yet. Despite a lack of production, he'll still be a interesting option during Sunday's trip to Austin FC as it appears Seattle have kickstarted their attack in Saturday's win.
