Sebastian Berhalter - Takes shot in start Berhalter took a shot on target and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against the Sounders. He also made a block and a clearance in the match.
Impact Berhalter returned to the XI for Saturday's back-and-forth match against Seattle, but this was only his fifth start of the season in midfield and he should return to the bench once Andres Cubas (hamstring) gets fit again.

Yohei Takaoka - Concedes three goals to Seattle Takaoka made three saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against the Sounders.
Impact Takaoka was beaten by a Leo Chu brace and a late strike from Yeimar Gomez as his side lost Saturday's game, with all three strikes coming from set piece routines. Takaoka has now allowed eight goals in his last three games versus tough opponents in Seattle, Kansas City and LAFC. He'll want to bounce back from those performances by the midweek clash with Austin FC, which have scored 29 times in 21 matches this season.

Impact Laborda will not be available Wednesday as he will serve a one-match suspension for yellow-card accumulation. He's started the last five matches, recording 15 clearances and 15 tackles in that span to up his average clearances and tackles per game to around two. Tristan Blackmon could be called upon to take the start at center back against Austin FC in his absence.

Russell Teibert - Option against Seattle Teibert is available off the bench for Saturday's clash with the Seattle Sounders.
Impact Teibert has been downgraded to an unused sub this season, only appearing in four matches thus far, none of them coming as starts. It will likely remain like this for the rest of the season.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tristan Blackmon - Makes bench Saturday Blackmon is on the bench for Saturday's match against the Seattle Sounders.
Impact Blackmon will make his first start since June 4 after missing the last two matches with a heel injury. He's scored just one goal thus far, totaling 58 clearances and 20 interceptions in 15 appearances this season.

Impact Teibert has missed the last two games with a knee injury and has only featured four times off the bench in MLS this season even when fit, but he'll be questionable to be able to play against the Sounders on Saturday.

Tristan Blackmon - Returns to full training Blackmon (heel) was back training with his teammates on Thursday, the Daily Hive Vancouver reports ahead of the Sounders clash this weekend.
Impact Blackmon has missed the Whitecaps' last two games with a heel contusion he picked up in late June, but he could return to the squad to face Seattle on Saturday as he's now listed as "probable" in his team's injury report.
JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andres Cubas - Out with hamstring strain Cubas will not be available to face the Sounders this weekend due to a hamstring injury, according to Vancouver's availability report.
Impact Cubas has started 18 of 20 league games in defensive midfield for the Whitecaps this season, but he's been ruled out for Saturday's Seattle match with this injury. Sebastian Berhalter or Russell Teibert (knee) if fit are both options to replace him in the XI.
JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Raposo - Provides seven crosses Raposo had one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Raposo had a decent game for his standards in Saturday's loss. He continued his run of being a great two way player as he was able to provide seven crosses (three accurate) on the attack and made three tackles (three won) in the defense. The 24-year-old has now made three straight starts and might continue in the spot while Vancouver deals with multiple injuries throughout the midfield and defense.
JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Gauld - Nine crosses in loss Gauld had two shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Gauld's run of great form ended in Saturday's match after he was held without a goal for the first time in four games. Even though he didn't score, the 27-year-old was the most effective player in the attack for Vancouver as he notched two shots and nine crosses. Gauld remains a top player for his team and should still be considered a constant starter despite his recent fall from grace.
JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yohei Takaoka - Disappoints in loss Takaoka registered one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Takaoka had a rough day in goal Saturday as Sporting Kansas City put three goals past him. It has now been five matches since he has registered a clean sheet, allowing nine goals over that span. The past month has not been nice to the Japanese keeper and his next match isn't going to make a return to good form any easier as he faces a third place Seattle Sounders squad.

Impact White picked up a hip injury and is questionable for Saturday's clash with Kansas City. The forward is in flying form with three goals and one assist in his last five matches, including playing 90 minutes in two of his last three.
