Ethan Bartlow - Leaves with injury Saturday Bartlow was subbed off due to an undisclosed issue in Saturday's win over Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Bartlow lasted 76 minutes on the field before being replaced by Pablo Ortiz in this game. It was Bartlow's return to the initial lineup following a few substitute appearances.
