Impact The goal was the first of Hefti's 17 career MLS appearances. The right back also has three assists on the season, highlighting his efforts to get involved in the attack. Up next is a road clash with CF Montreal on Saturday, August 15.

Louis Munteanu - Wild scorpion assist on equalizer Munteanu took five shots (three on goal), sent in five crosses (one accurate), created three chances, and suffered two fouls in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Munteanu delivered the possible assist of the year, flicking a scorpion assist from the ground to an onrushing Tai Baribo for the equalizer. He was one of the most active attackers on the evening, rattling off five shots and creating three chances. He'll look to keep it rolling when D.C. are back in action at CF Montreal on Saturday, August 15.

Sean Johnson - No saves in 2-2 draw Johnson made zero saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Johnson was unable to stop the only two shots on target, but he did enough to help D.C. earn a point at home against the current Supporters Shield leaders. He has now conceded at least one goal in seven straight appearances. Up next is a road clash at CF Montreal on Saturday, August 15.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Bartlett - Serving suspension Bartlett is set for a one match suspension and will miss the clash with Montreal on Aug 15.

Impact Bartlett's streak of 18 consecutive appearances comes to an end as he'll miss his first match of the season due to suspension. He's been an ironman for D.C. United, starting all 18 games while scoring twice, piling up 135 clearances, adding 20 blocks, and helping secure four clean sheets. In his absence, Sean Nealis is the most likely candidate to step into the lineup, depending on his fitness.

Kye Rowles - Starting right away Rowles (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's encounter against Nashville.

Impact Rowles is ready to play despite leaving the last match in the 80th minute, and he'll look to complete the full game this time. The center-back is a regular piece of D.C. United's back line and is averaging 7.5 clearances per contest in the 2026 MLS campaign. However, his team is rarely reliable for clean sheets.

Jordan Farr - Dealing with shoulder injury Farr is dealing with a shoulder injury and won't be an option for Saturday's game against Nashville SC.

Impact Farr was recalled from his loan at Loudoun United on June 29. This injury shouldn't have an impact in fantasy, as he's a backup option between the posts.

DC United sign Japanese defender Kimito Nono | MLSSoccer.com TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing D.C. United have acquired defender Kimito Nono from Japanese J1 League side Kashima Antlers, the club annou...

JULY 29 • MLSSOCCER.COM

Kimito Nono - Signs with D.C. United Nono signed a three year contract with D.C. United through 2028-29, with an option for 2029-30, after departing Kashima Antlers, the club announced.

Impact Nono made his J1 League debut for Kashima in February 2024 and quickly made an impact, scoring nine goals on 47 shots that season and earning a spot on the J1 League Best XI as a rookie. He helped Kashima win the 2025 J1 League title, the club's first in nine years, and continued to contribute defensively this past season, starting 10 of the club's 11 clean sheets en route to the J. League 100-Year Vision East Region Best XI. The 24-year-old, capable of playing right back or right midfield, previously starred at Kwansei Gakuin University before turning professional. Nono is expected to add versatility and attacking threat to D.C. United's backline once his paperwork is finalized.

Tai Baribo - Hero against Toronto Baribo scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) during D.C. United's 2-1 win Saturday against Toronto FC.

Impact Toronto conceded a last-minute penalty because Jackson Gilman fouled Andre Dozzell of D.C. United. Baribo attempted the spot-kick and scored. Between back-to-back seasons, he has logged double-digit goals as part of different teams, DC and the Philadelphia Union. Ideally for him, unlike his 2025 season, Baribo can maintain a steadier pace. That year, after logging 10 goals in 12 games, he scored eight across 20 appearances.

Keisuke Kurokawa - Corner to assist Kurokawa assisted once to go with 10 crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Toronto FC.

Impact Being the D.C. team's primary corner taker is paying off for Kurokawa, who connected with his fellow defender Kye Rowles to log his fourth assist across 2026. Impressively, Kurokawa has recorded four assists in his last eight appearances, meaning he is on a great run of form that assures he is among the MLS' best attacking-minded defenders.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Johnson - Six saves, one goal conceded Johnson recorded six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Toronto FC.

Impact For only the second time in 2026, Johnson logged more than six saves, the first time occurring back on March 1. Unfortunately for the goalkeeper, even with his recent excellence, he has yet to log a clean sheet since May 3, making it six consecutive appearances.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Kye Rowles - Goal and another injury Rowles scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Toronto FC. He was subbed off due to injury in the 80th minute.

Impact From a corner kick, Rowles headed in D.C. United's first goal, his 2026 season's second. Having added to his limited G/A, playing the full game perfectly unscathed would have been all that he wanted. But for the first time this season, Rowles was subbed off, and it appears that an undisclosed knock explains his substitution. Rowles was replaced by Sean Nealis, and it is unknown when the DC team kicks off its August schedule by hosting Nashville SC next Saturday.

JULY 26 • Associated Press

Jackson Hopkins - Starting against Toronto Hopkins (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Toronto.

Impact Hopkins will aim to record meaningful playing time on the right flank now that he's cleared from a minor injury. The attacker has produced two goals and one assist over 16 league games played in 2026, although he has been on a quiet run over the last six matches and has stopped taking set pieces for a long stretch of the season.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Kye Rowles - Starting after injury recovery Rowles (thigh) has been included in D.C. United's starting XI in Saturday's meeting against Toronto.

Impact Rowles is back in his usual center-back position, giving his side a significant boost at the expense of Sean Nealis. Prior to the issue, Rowles was averaging 7.4 clearances, 1.9 tackles and 1.6 interceptions per game in the current MLS season.
