Impact Rios will return to Mexico after spending a season on loan with Atlanta. He managed to get 16 starts in 32 appearances, recording seven goals with three assists while logging in 46 shots (23 on target) and 17 clearances.

Injured during playoff loss Rios came off injured and subbed out in the 49th minute during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Orlando.

Impact Rios will end the season injured after coming off just before halftime during the lost to Orlando. He completed his first full season with Atlanta, having made 16 starts in 32 appearances. In that span, the forward scored seven goals, which ties his career high, while also making three assists on 16 chances created. Depending on the extent of his injury, Rios should be ready for the start of the 2025 season as he will use the off-season to recover before preseason.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots Rios recorded three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Rios only appeared off the bench for 18 minutes Saturday but still provided a decent contribution, as he would fire in three shots in the loss. This marks his second straight match appearing off the bench, which is a bit surprising following a run of eight starts before being demoted to the bench. He will look to reclaim the starting spot in their next contest, having nine goal contributions in 19 appearances (12 starts) this season.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another goal Rios scored one goal with six shots (five on goal) during Atlanta United's 1-1 draw Saturday at St. Louis.

Impact At least until a new manager is selected or another forward gets signed in place of Giorgos Giakoumakis, who has joined Cruz Azul of the Liga MX, Rios is expected to be Atlanta United's primary option up front. He is making a legitimate case to be it, as Rob Valentino being hired as interim head coach has been followed up on with two goals on eight shots (seven on goal) across three appearances from the forward.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Scores versus Houston Rios scored a goal off his lone shot during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Houston.

Impact Rios had a rare start after back-to-back games as an unused substitute and made most of the opportunity as he opened the scoring for Atlanta with just five minutes into the game after picking up a rebound from the opposing goalkeeper. With Giorgos Giakoumakis (undisclosed) not being a lock to return on the next game, Rios has a chance to remain on the team and keep proving he deserves to be a full-time starter.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Assists off the bench Rios assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Minnesota United.

Impact With Giorgos Giakoumakis still injured Rios saw his first start off the season after returning from calf injury. He also scored his first MLS goal since 2022, logging in three shots in the process. Once Giakoumakis does return, the forward will likely be used off the bench as a reliable attacker for the side.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Making first start Rios (calf) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against the Union.

Impact Rios will make his first start of the season in the attack after missing the last two matches with a calf injury. He joined the team late from Guadalajara, already making his team debut on Mar 23 with 15 minutes of play against Toronto.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with calf injury Rios won't play Sunday against Chicago due to calf tightness, Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Rios played 15 minutes off the bench in the 2-0 loss against Toronto FC last weekend, and he won't be able to feature against Chicago due to a recurrent muscular injury, as his Guadalajara was also marked by his many muscular problems. Either way, Rios' absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions since he isn't expected to be a regular starter for the Five Stripes.
