Jordan Morris - Features off bench in winMorris subbed into Saturday's match against Minnesota United in the 66th minute, creating a chance in the 1-0 victory.
ImpactMorris was on a minutes restriction Saturday after linking up with the USMNT in mid-week. With Raul Ruidiaz (hamstring) injured again Heber got the start up front against Minnesota, but Morris is likely to reprise his center forward role moving forward.

Leo Chu - Takes three shots against MinnesotaChu took three shots (one on target) in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Minnesota United. He also won one of two tackles in the match.
ImpactChu continues to be effective from the left wing, and he should be set to continue in the XI for at least another month as Raul Ruidiaz (hamstring) has picked up another injury.

Heber - Takes shot in startHeber took a shot in his return to the XI in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Minnesota United.
ImpactHeber started his first game since early March on Saturday while Raul Ruidiaz (hamstring) was out and Jordan Morris on a minutes restriction after some mid-week national team action. Heber is likely to return to the bench in favor of Morris up front, though he is more of a natural striker in Ruidiaz's absence.
