Brian White - Upgraded to questionable White (ribs) is listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake, according to the Vancouver injury report.

Impact White is listed as questionable with a ribs injury that has knocked him out for four games. The forward will hope to make his return though it's possible he's brought in off the bench to test his fitness first before starting a match.

Javain Brown - Doubtful against Salt Lake Brown (ankle) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Salt Lake, according to the Vancouver injury report.

Impact Brown picked up the injury during Wednesday's win over Colorado and while he is listed as questionable the short rest makes it unlikely he plays Saturday. Brown has been a consistent start of late, though if he can't play it will likely Jake Nerwinski who replaces him.

Thomas Hasal - Three saves for win Hasal made three saves and two clearances in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Colorado Rapids.

Impact Hasal is back in net for the 10th time this season and the first time since May. The keeper has been held out by injury and then the good form of Cody Cropper but seems set to take his starting job back. Vancouver isn't a great defensive environment so the upside is certainly limited for Hasal.

Ranko Veselinovic - Busy for win Veselinovic made six clearances and three blocks in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Veselinovic was a defensive wall to help Vancouver find a rare win of late. The defender hasn't had a whole lot of help in front of him this season but has added a surprising offensive upside with 10 chances created already. That tally is more than double his previous two years with the club and with better finishing in midfield could give him sneaky upside for the end of the campaign.

Julian Gressel - Assists Wednesday Gressel assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate), and three corners in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Gressel finally earned his first assist of the campaign since joining Vancouver. The wide midfielder had four for D.C. United before switching to the West Coast and is now officially off the mark. Gressel will hope to build a strong finish to the season with his new club as he hopes to get back to the heights he showed with Atlanta, headlined by an eight-goal, 12-assist 2019 campaign.

Ryan Gauld - Brace in win Gauld scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), five crosses (zero accurate), and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Gauld continue his strong season moving to six goals and six assists so far in the 2022 campaign. The forward has been excellent in a deeper-lying attacking midfield role and is finding success consistently of late. Vancouver might be a weaker side in the Western Conference but Gauld is showing some undeniable fantasy upside.
