GAME LOG
Stays in starting XI Padelford (concussion) has made the starting lineup to face D.C. United on Wednesday.
Impact Padelford has avoided an injury scare after activating the concussion protocol during his last appearance against San Diego, in which he also scored his second goal of the campaign. This is great news for a Red Bull side that is relying on him as its primary left-back option for the third time in a row, leaving Matthew Dos Santos on the bench.

Leaves under concussion protocol Padelford scored a goal but was forced off under a concussion substitution in the final minutes of Saturday's 4-1 win over San Diego.
Impact Padelford achieved his second goal of the season on a set-piece play in the 20th minute of this game, before abandoning the pitch due to a potential concussion. He was able to walk off the field but will need to be assessed during the week to determine the extent of the damage. If he's ruled out of future action, his place could be covered by Matthew Dos Santos.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Loaned to NYRB Padelford joined Red Bull New York on a season-long loan deal from Minnesota United on Thursday.
Impact Padelford was a depth piece for the Loons this season, starting in five of his 16 league appearances for the club, and he figures to have the same role with the Red Bulls. This is a short loan, however, as Padelford must return to Minnesota United in time for preseason ahead of the 2027 MLS Sprint campaign.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in loss Padelford scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Padelford was able to put his lone shot on target, though he didn't do much else in the 2-1 loss. The defender is probably going to be more occupied on his side of the pitch in Saturday's contest against Vancouver Whitecaps, the top team in the conference thanks to 37 goals scored in just 15 MLS games.

Impact Padelford's cross set up Kelvin Yeboah's equalizing header in the 90th minute Saturday, a massive moment which salvaged a draw for Minnesota in the season opener. It was the only chance he created in his 12 minutes off the bench. He'll look to make more of an impact this season than he has in seasons past, and he's already on the right track to doing that.

Contract option exercised Padelford's contract option has been exercised by Minnesota United following his loan spell to St. Louis City SC, the club announced.
Impact Padelford closed out last season on loan with St. Louis City SC, chipping in one assist while adding 20 tackles, 25 crosses and 16 clearances across 10 appearances. The young defender showed enough in that stretch to earn a longer look, flashing two-way ability and steady defensive work during his stint. Minnesota United picked up his contract option after that strong loan spell, locking him into the roster for the 2026 MLS season.

Sent to St. Louis Padelford has been sent on loan to St. Louis from Minnesota, according to his new club.
Impact Padelford is seeing a change of scenery for the second leg of the 2025 season, as the defender will now serve with St. Louis on loan. This appears to be a solid move for both sides, as he has only played four times all season with Minnesota, while St. Louis is yet to find an everyday left-back, switching between Jayden Reid and Jaziel Orozco as of late. That said, Padelford will hope to see solid time with the club, hoping his season isn't a complete waste after minimal time with the Loons.
JULY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Option exercised. Padelford's contract option for 2025 was exercised, the club announced.
Impact Padelford will be back in 2025 after his first season as the starting option in Minnesota. The defender made 24 appearances (19 starts) but failed to find any sort of offensive contributions. Padelford will hope to continue his major role in 2025.

Impact Padelford needed to miss the last two matches as he dealt with concussion-like symptoms. The good news is the defender is back on the training pitch as is in line to be an option for Saturday. He had previously started five of the last six games, totaling 11 interceptions, nine clearances and eight tackles in that span.
