Darren Yapi - Starting right away Yapi (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's trip to Houston Dynamo.

Impact Yapi wasn't forced to miss any game with the injury he sustained midweek in US Open Cup action, and he even made the starting lineup for the second straight contest in all competitions. He might now remain in contention with Georgi Minoungou for an attacking midfield spot. If given meaningful opportunities, Yapi will look to improve on his MLS season tallies of three goals and two assists over 10 matches played.

Georgi Minoungou - Dealing with leg issue Minoungou is doubtful for Saturday's matchup versus Houston Dynamo with a leg injury, according to the league's latest injury report.

Impact Minoungou's injury is a concern, and his status will be monitored closely in the coming days. With Minoungou at risk of sitting out, Darren Yapi (undisclosed) could be selected on the left flank, but Alexis Manyoma will likely be ready to step in if needed. Minoungou's fantasy outlook is uncertain, and he may not have a huge upside even if he is able to play, having failed to score while providing one assist over seven appearances this season.

Paxten Aaronson - Questionable with leg issue Aaronson is questionable with a leg injury ahead of Saturday's visit to Houston Dynamo, per the MLS player status report.

Impact Aaronson's status is uncertain, and his availability will depend on how his leg injury progresses. If Aaronson is unable to play, Joshua Atencio and Hamzat Ojediran will likely take the starting midfield spots. Aaronson's fantasy value will be impacted by his injury, and he may not be able to play a full 90 minutes even if he is cleared to play, but he could serve as a source of shots and set pieces when he's on the field.

Wayne Frederick - Sidelined with leg issue Frederick is currently ruled out due to a leg injury, as reported by MLS on Friday.

Impact Frederick's injury is a setback for the Rapids, who had been relying on him for a variety of roles in midfield and attack. With Frederick out, Joshua Atencio will likely return to the starting lineup after serving suspension. Frederick's leg injury is a big concern, as he has played the full 90 minutes in six straight league contests.

Impact Navarro recorded the lone goal for Colorado on Saturday, making six shots (three on target) in the process.

Joshua Atencio - Set for ban Atencio is set for a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Atencio is not an option for the club's match against Vancouver on Saturday, as he has picked up a yellow card in a fourth straight game, giving him five on the season and a ban. After four straight starts, this is a tough loss, losing a decent option in the midfield. They will hope Connor Ronan (leg) can return from injury to take his role, but if not, Hamzat Ojediran and Wayne Frederick will likely start in the defensive portion of the midfield.

Rob Holding - Brillant outing against LAFC Holding registered two tackles (one won), six clearances and two interceptions in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Holding logged the full 90 in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against LAFC at BMO Stadium and put together a dominant shift at center-back. He controlled the air with three aerial wins and anchored the back line with six clearances, two interceptions and two tackles as LAFC were limited to just one shot on target, with Mathieu Choiniere's effort off the crossbar standing as their best look at goal. He also played a major role in buildup with a season-high 111 passes, blowing past his previous top mark of 87 set against LA Galaxy in early March.

Dante Sealy - Four crosses in draw Sealy registered one shot (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Sealy got the start in Wednesday's 0-0 draw at LAFC and turned in a solid shift with four crosses, three corners, one shot on target and a tackle. He didn't get on the scoresheet this time but stayed heavily involved on set pieces while providing width down the right wing. Sealy now sits on two assists through nine appearances with seven starts for the Rapids, already a career high in MLS play, and is still chasing his first goal of the season.

Zack Steffen - One save in draw Steffen registered one save and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Steffen logged a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw at LAFC, coming up with just one save on the night to lock in his second shutout of the season across seven appearances. He was tested in the second half when he denied Mathieu Choiniere after the LAFC attacker rattled the crossbar on the initial effort. Steffen now looks to carry that momentum into Saturday's matchup against Vancouver.

Jackson Travis - Forced off in midweek game Travis abandoned Wednesday's 0-0 draw with Los Angeles FC after picking up an apparent ankle issue.

Impact Travis had to leave his place on the field to Miguel Navarro after suffering a knock. This issue makes the defender questionable while the exact severity of the issue remains unclear. He has started in each of the seven MLS games he has been available for this year, but his potential injury would likely lead to Navarro taking his place in future fixtures.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Navarro - On bench midweek Navarro (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's game versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Navarro missed just one match with a muscular issue after being suspended in a previous contest, and he'll look to finally bounce back to the field in upcoming action. The defender has been used as a left-back, providing an assist in one of his two starts of the current campaign. He's expected to remain in contention with Jackson Travis going forward.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Reggie Cannon - On bench Wednesday Cannon (ankle) is back as a substitute option for the midweek clash against Los Angeles FC.

Impact Cannon hasn't played since March 8 while recovering from his ankle issue, but he was a regular starter before that. The right-back will compete for playing time with Kosi Thompson and Keegan Rosenberry for the rest of the season. Prior to his absence, Cannon was involved mostly in defensive stats, tallying six clearances, four tackles and three interceptions across three appearances.
