He has now made three consecutive starts on the right side of a five-man back line, generating 13 crosses (four accurate), eight chances created and 10 clearances during that period.

Creates four chances in loss Gressel registered five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-2 loss to San Diego FC.

Impact Gressel was rather active as a right wing-back, and the fact that he took corner kicks from the opposite flank boosted his playmaking numbers against San Diego. The four chances created and six clearances were season-high tallies for him, showing that he's capable of producing on both ends of the field. However, he's still looking for his second goal or first assist of the year after eight matches played (four starts) in league activity.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Scores as substitute Gressel scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 win against St. Louis City SC.

Claimed off waivers Gressel has been claimed off waivers and is joining Minnesota from Miami, according to his new club.

Impact Gressel is making a switch of clubs just after the deadline, with the midfielder having been claimed off waivers to join Minnesota. He will join the club until December 2026, with an option for the 2027 season. He is a veteran with plenty of MLS experience, most recently appearing in 32 games (31 starts) with Miami while notching one goal and nine assists during the 2024 season. That said, he will hope to return to a starting spot with his new club, although the midfielder will likely have to work into that role and see more rotational time to start.

Whips in six crosses Gressel registered one shot (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Atlanta United.

Impact Gressel has a somewhat quiet match against Atlanta but still managed to whip in a decent amount of crosses, notching six in the draw. However, this does mark his fourth straight appearance without a clean sheet after notching one five matches in a row before the drought. He will hope to bag another assist soon, being just one off of double digits.

Registers seven crosses Gressel registered two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Chicago Fire.

Impact Gressel had a decent match after whipping in seven crosses, giving him his sixth game this season with six or more crosses. He also tacked on three shots and three chances created, boasting a solid day in the attack. He still has only missed one start all season, one of the rare everyday starters for Miami this campaign.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Prolongs streak of assists Gressel logged one assist with his two crosses (one accurate) and one corner during Inter Miami's 3-1 win Wednesday against Toronto FC.

Impact Lionel Messi (ankle) being out Wednesday resulted in Gressel being Inter Miami's free-kick taker then. One of the German's free kicks was an accurate lob headed in for a goal by Federico Redondo. As a result, Gressel has logged an assist during each of Miami's five games since June 19. An assist against the Fire on Saturday would prolong his streak to six. And with Messi unavailable then, Gressel has much more of a legitimate chance to be Miami's primary playmaker and continue the hot form.

JULY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assists at Cincinnati Gressel assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), 10 crosses (five accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 6-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Gressel created Miami's equalizer in the first half with his fourth assist in a row and eighth in the campaign, but it wasn't enough to avoid the tough loss on the road. He also led Miami in the game with a season-high 10 crosses, while taking all of their five corner kicks.

JULY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another assist Gressel logged one assist with three crosses (two accurate) and one corner during Inter Miami's 2-1 win Wednesday at Charlotte.

Impact Gressel is on a roll, with an assist logged during each of Inter Miami's last three games and four across his past five. During that five-game span, he more than doubled his tally of 2024 assists, going from three to seven. At least until Lionel Messi returns from the Copa America, Gressel is expected to be Inter Miami's primary and best playmaker.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assist from set piece in win Gressel assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Nashville SC.

Impact Gressel picked up his third assist in four games from a first-half corner, which was converted by Ian Fray. In the three games since Messi left for Copa America, Gressel has played a more advanced role, taking nine corners and creating 11 chances.

Assists versus former club Gressel assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Columbus Crew.

Impact Gressel -- who won the 2023 MLS Cup with Columbus -- assisted the opening goal in his first match versus his former club. He set up Ian Fray's header in the 10th minute, an assist which marked his fifth of the season. He created a season-high five chances as he played the full 90 minutes for just the second time this season.

JUNE 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assists as substitute in draw Gressel assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Gressel replaced Matias Rojas in the 69th minute and generated several key passes, one of which led to Jordi Alba's 85th-minute equalizer against St. Loius. The midfielder came off the bench for the first time after 17 consecutive starts, but the assist could be just what he needed to regain confidence and playing time. In that case, he may as well be trusted for a few set pieces per game.

JUNE 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in crosses Gressel generated six crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Orlando City SC.

Impact Gressel whipped in six crosses Wednesday, being his first match in five games with more than two crosses, now having five or more in three contests this campaign. The midfielder has yet to miss a start this season, registering three assists on 13 chances created to go along with 14 shots and 42 crosses.
