Makes cameo appearance Bruin (calf) played nine minutes off the bench against Galaxy on Saturday.
Impact While it was far from an impactful season debut for Bruin, the fact that he was at least fit enough to be in the squad is certainly a step in the right direction. Last year, the forward started 16 of his 24 appearances for Sounders and should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI now that his calf problem is seemingly behind him.
