No timetable for return Kubo (undisclosed) is expected to be out for at least a few matches, according to Pat Brennan of USA TODAY Sports. "[Kubo will be] out a little bit. Don't know the timeline there,"...

This means Kevin Kelsy and Sergio Santos should handle more prominent roles in the attack, as Aaron Boupendza (jaw) remains out and Corey Baird (hip) is also dealing with injuries.
