Jonathan Bond - Two saves for draw Bond recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Bond stopped two of the three shots that came his way during Sunday's draw, allowing a single goal. He nearly did enough to earn all three points, but in the end he had to settle for a draw. Bond hasn't earned a clean sheet in his last five matches, but he's done enough to earn three draws in the last three matches.

Jack McGlynn - Busy in midfield McGlynn recorded three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact McGlynn was busy throughout Sunday's draw, he popped up for a few shots from distance, as well as maintaining a role on set-pieces. He didn't end up getting much going in the final third, but his volume was still nice, and buoyed his floor. McGlynn should have more room to operate in the coming matches against some more beatable opponents.

Amine Bassi - Assists for point Bassi assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 6...
Impact Bassi set up the only assist of the match, creating a pair of chances in a difficult match. He found his chances few and far between, with both of his shots going off target. It was always going to be one of the most difficult matches on the schedule and coming away with a draw and an assist is a good showing from Bassi, who remains an important part of the first team.

Artur - Nets in draw Artur scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Artur scored a rare goal during Sunday's draw with Vancouver, getting forward with his only shot and beating Yohei Takaoka to find the back of the net. He's not going to be a consistent goalscorer during the closing stages of the season, but Artur can take chances that fall his way. For the most part his upside will be limited to close the campaign.

Franco Escobar - Questionable with injury Escobar is questionable for Sunday's match against Vancouver due to a lower-body injury, according to the MLS injury Report.
Impact Escobar is going to be a late call for Sunday's contest, with the defender now dealing with a lower-body injury. This is tough after he missed their last outing, as he is a usual sight in the defense. That said, if fit enough, he will hope to see the start, starting in six straight games before his injury.

Lawrence Ennali - Assists off bench in draw Ennali assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Austin FC.
Impact Ennali came off the bench and provided a huge spark in the final meters for the Dynamo. The speedy winger ended up playing a vital role after assisting the eventual equalizer with a low cross that allowed Jack McGlynn to even the score in the 90th minute. Ennali has mostly played off the bench this season, but he's beginning to turn things around and has two goals contributions over his last five appearances (one goal, one assist).

Jack McGlynn - Leads late comeback McGlynn scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal), 11 crosses (seven accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Austin FC.
Impact McGlynn found the back of the net twice in the final 15 minutes -- first with a well-taken penalty and then with an effort from outside the box. McGlynn is up to five goals this season, but he's notched three of those over his previous two starts.

Jonathan Bond - Beaten twice by Austin Bond recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Austin FC.
Impact Bond could've done a bit more on the sequence that led to Ilie Sanchez's goal, but there was nothing he could've done on Guilherme Biro's strike. The veteran goalkeeper looked much improved in the second half, though, and he responded time and time again to allow Houston to snatch a point. Bond has gone five straight matches without a clean sheet while giving up multiple goals three times in that span, so he's far from being a reliable fantasy option in most formats.
AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE
Franco Escobar - Back for Houston Escobar has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the clash with Vancouver on Sunday.
Impact Escobar is back from suspension and injury as well after appearing once for Houston at the Leagues Cup. In MLS play, the defender has scored once in the last six games, recording 17 tackles, 15 clearances and 12 interceptions in that span.

Ezequiel Ponce - Starting in Austin match Ponce (lower body) is in the starting XI for the weekend meeting with Austin FC.
Impact Ponce didn't miss any game despite being questionable prior to this match. He'll consequently lead his side's front line for the ninth time in a row in league play, attempting to add to his team-high total of seven goals.

Gabe Segal - Questionable to face Austin Segal (lower body) is questionable for Saturday's match against Austin, according to the MLS injury report.
Impact Segal could miss out on Saturday's outing after the forward suffered an injury over the break. Luckily for the club, this would be a minor loss, as he has mainly earned his minutes with late appearances in extra time. If fit, he will likely only earn a bench spot.
