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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kye Rowles - Questionable with thigh issue Rowles is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Toronto due to a thigh problem, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Rowles is an Australian international center-back who has been one of D.C. United's most dependable defensive pieces, so a thigh discomfort putting him in doubt is a significant issue for the club. If he can't go, D.C.'s back line is short of its best organizer at center-back, but they have previously resorted to Lucas Bartlett and Sean Nealis in Rowles' absence.

Sean Johnson - Four saves in draw Johnson had four saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Johnson stopped four of the five shots he faced during Wednesday's draw. The goalkeeper was solid throughout, but the team in front of him didn't give him enough support for him to earn all three points. It was still a solid showing on the whole as Johnson looks to be one of the better goalkeepers during the back half of the MLS campaign.

Nathan Ordaz - Assists for draw Ordaz assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Ordaz provided the only assist during Wednesday's draw. The winger created a pair of chances before Tai Baribo finally finished one and gave him his assist. Ordaz will continue to be a threat in the back half of the season, especially if he can reliably link up with Baribo as a potentially lethal duo up top.

Tai Baribo - Nets in draw Baribo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.

Impact Baribo got on the scoresheet Wednesday, netting his only shot during the one-all draw. The striker was a threat throughout the match, but struggled for end product, the lone shot he got off proved to be enough for the goal Wednesday. Baribo should lead the line throughout the back half of the campaign.

Impact Hopkins was unable to continue playing after 53 minutes of the week 17 matchup, leaving his place on the pitch to Matti Peltola. The forward, who has recently been deployed on the right wing, is now questionable for upcoming action, with the severity of the issue still unknown.
