Rare assist Saturday Shelton assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 victory against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Shelton would see the full 90 for a third straight match Saturday, seeing the start at right-back for a 16th time this season. He would also bag a rare assist, finding Dejan Joveljic early. That said, it was his first assist and goal contribution of the campaign.

Starts against San Diego Shelton (calf) is available as a starter in Saturday's matchup versus San Diego FC.

Impact Shelton has made a rather quick recovery after missing the previous clash against Vancouver Whitecaps due to the issue. The wide player has been used as a right-back in the current season and is expected to take that position at the expense of Andrew Brody. In that case, Shelton should be reliable for defensive numbers and perhaps a few crosses.

Ruled out Saturday Shelton (calf) is out for Saturday's trip to Vancouver, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Shelton isn't an option for Saturday's trip to Vancouver as he deals with a calf problem. Shelton has been the consistent starter at right-back, and will now leave those duties to Jake Davis more likely than not.

Suspension cleared Shelton is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Shelton has cleared his ban due to his two yellow cards received against Dallas and is now back available for their next contest. He should return directly in the starting XI at right-back since he has been a regular starter for Sporting Kanses this season.

JUNE 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Shelton will be suspended for their next contest after picking up two yellow cards in Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Dallas.

Impact Shelton picked up two yellow cards and was sent off in the 61st minute of Saturday's game. This will leave him suspended for the next contest against Charlotte on June 25. His absence will force a change in the starting XI since he has started four of the last five games at right back, with Andrew Brody likely replacing him for that game.

On bench Saturday Shelton (hip) is on the bench in Saturday's matchup against Portland Timbers.

Impact Shelton had been constantly used at right-back before sitting out one match due to injury. His fantasy value comes mostly from defensive stats, as he made 10 interceptions and seven clearances over his previous five MLS starts. Andrew Brody will be at risk of losing his place in the lineup if Shelton regains his usual spot in subsequent fixtures.

Impact Shelton missed the first three games of the season but has been a regular of late, making five straight starts at right-back and being a steady defensive weapon. However, this latest setback suggests he might be due for another spell on the sidelines.

MAY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Shelton (hamstring) is in the starting lineup to face St. Louis City on Saturday.

Impact Shelton should see plenty of action on the right flank in his second start of the campaign following his recovery from a minor issue. He has competed for playing time with Jake Davis lately, but with both of them featuring from kickoff against St. Louis, it's midfielders Memo Rodriguez and Nemanja Radoja who have dropped to substitute roles.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Possibility for Saturday Shelton is questionable for Saturday's match against St. Louis due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Shelton earned his first start of the season last match but is now a late call for Saturday, as he is suffering from a hamstring injury. That said, this will be something to watch, as an absence would force a change, with Jake Davis as a possible replacement.

Back in training Shelton (hamstring) is back in training and could be an option for Saturday's game against DC United, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Shelton has missed the team's first two matches of the season due to a hamstring problem, but the fact that he's back in training is a positive sign. That said, he's not likely to be a starter even if healthy, so he's not likely to have a ton of fantasy appeal even when deemed fit to return.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for opener Shelton (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Austin, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Shelton isn't an option for Saturday's match despite playing in pre-season. It's not clear when he picked up the injury, but it's a bit of a concern, at least until more details on his timeline with the hamstring are clear.

Active in friendly Shelton (calf) got anappearanceduring Wednesday's friendly with Charlotte.

Impact Shelton got back on the pitch for the second half of Wednesday's friendly. The forward played the final 45 minutes after finishing 2024 on the sideline with a calf issue. It's not clear what his role will look like in 2025, but he should compete for decent playing time when fit.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Saturday Shelton is a late scratch for Saturday's meeting with Los Angeles FC, according to the club.

Impact Shelton was originally expected to start but apparently suffered an injury shortly before kickoff. His place in the lineup has been taken by Remi Walter, who could continue to feature in case Shelton is dealing with a major issue.

Impact Shelton's late assist Saturday against 10-man Seattle helped lift Kansas City to a 2-1 victory. After entering the fray for the final 18 minutes, Shelton managed to create two chances and register a clearance in addition to his assist. Since returning to the team after missing the beginning of the campaign as he recovered from ankle surgery, Shelton has made five appearances (one start) and supplied two assists.

Impact Shelton set up the late goal with just minutes to spare, but couldn't do enough to help complete the come back. Shelton's bench role has continued in 2024 as he struggles to find minutes in most matches. The days of the winger being a guaranteed starter are almost certainly over, barring any major injuries elsewhere in the team.

MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Shelton (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with St. Louis.

Impact Shelton is back on the bench Saturday after coming back from an ankle injury that has prevented him from making his 2024 debut. Shelton was a bench option for large parts of 2023, but he should provide some valuable depth on the right wing now that he's fit.

APRIL 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Seen training Shelton (ankle) was seen training Tuesday for the first time since undergoing surgery, per Daniel Sperry of the KC Star.

Impact Shelton is making his first steps of recovery after undergoing ankle surgery in February. He is still a few weeks away from returning as he needs at least a week or two of full team training before being called up to the squad. Once healthy, the forward will remain a bench option after making just six starts in 26 appearances in 2023.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes ankle surgery Shelton (ankle) is set to miss up to three months after undergoing ankle surgery, Kansas City announced.

Impact Shelton is set for an extended period on the sideline due to the ankle surgery, that will sideline him for at least two months. The forward saw his role dwindle in 2023, leaving him with just two goal contributions. The forward made just eight starts, his fewest since breaking through with NYC FC in 2017.

FEBRUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Role dwindles Shelton made just eight starts and scored once in 2023, assisting once as well.

Impact Shelton had a year to forget to say the least, just two goal contributions and the fewest minutes he's played in a season since 2017 with NYC FC. The forward simply didn't play a major role and consistently saw his time come off the bench, barring a big change his outlook doesn't look appealing for 2024.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in playoff win Shelton assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 victory against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Shelton recorded his first assist of the season and it could not have come at a much better time, as he set up Gadi Kinda's strike in the 39th minute to take the 3-1 lead in Sunday's playoff win. It was one of two chances he created in the match as he made just his third start since the end of June.
