Scores own goal MacNaughton scored an own goal before going off injured in Saturdays's 4-2 defeat to Philadelphia.

Impact MacNaughton was making his third appearance of the season, having been an unused substitute in the opening six games of the season. On a day to forget, he was replaced at half time after suffering a lower leg injury. Regardless of whether the injury keeps him out of action, he will likely find himself back on the bench before too long, with Matt Hedges (concussion) expected back before the end of the month.

Plays second half in season debut MacNaughton replaced an injured Matt Hedges (head) at halftime of Saturday's 0-0 draw against Nashville SC.

Impact MacNaughton has slid down the center-back depth chart in Toronto after the winter arrivals of Hedges and Sigurd Rosted, but it's possible he gets the start against Atlanta next weekend if Hedges' injury is serious enough to rule him out.

Makes four clearances in finale loss MacNaughton made a block, four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact MacNaughton kept two clean sheets in 25 appearances (20 starts) during his rookie season in MLS and the 27-year-old looks likely to remain a first-choice center-back heading into 2023, whether he's paired with Shane O'Neill, Chris Mavinga or someone new.

Scores own goal in loss MacNaughton made a block, four clearances and an interception in Saturday's match against Orlando City. Unfortunately for him, he also scored an own goal in the 4-0 defeat.

Impact MacNaughton will regret his own goal Saturday as it effectively ended Toronto's playoff hopes this season. What's more, he also picked up a booking in the match, meaning he will be suspended for the match against Inter Miami after the international break due to yellow card accumulation. Chris Mavinga (lower body) could replace him in central defense if he's fit enough, or Domenico Criscito could slide over from left-back if necessary.

Nets own goal for 1-0 defeat MacNaughton scored an own goal but hauled in four aerials won, three blocked shots and five clearances in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Montreal.

Impact MacNaughton had an overall impressive defensive display here but the own goal for the defeat will surely leave a bad taste in his mouth and for his fantasy owners. Whenever on the pitch he's been productive but Toronto are still to hold first clean sheet this season and that has certainly hampered his overall fantasy production.

Takes shot in loss MacNaughton took a shot and won three of five tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against the Whitecaps. He also made two clearances and four interceptions in the match.

Impact MacNaughton defended well for much of Sunday's game, but he will be disappointed that his side conceded to Tosaint Ricketts in the 90th minute and slumped to another defeat. The 27-year-old has six starts so far in his rookie MLS season for Toronto but is still looking for a first clean sheet.
