Illness clears for Open Cup Hartel (illness) returned to the starting lineup Tuesday in the Open Cup quarter-final against Houston Dynamo and scored two goals, according to the club.

Impact Hartel had missed Saturday's match against DC United due to the illness, making his return to the starting eleven a positive development for St. Louis. The German midfielder has been one of the club's more creative options in the engine room this season, and his brace against Houston underlined his importance to the side after the brief spell on the sidelines.

Illness could lead to sidelines Hartel is questionable for Saturday's match against D.C. United due to illness, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Hartel will need some late testing ahead of the next contest, due to an illness that has him uncertain for Saturday. He's been one of St. Louis's more creative midfield options and a player with legitimate fantasy value when healthy and starting, making his questionable status one of the more consequential on the report for STLCSC fantasy managers. If he were to miss out, with Cecrid Teuchert or Sergio Cordova as possible replacements.

Strong stat line offensively Hartel recorded four shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Austin FC.

Impact Hartel did everything but score or assist in Sunday's match, as the midfielder was putting shots up and providing service. He has a good matchup looming against Colorado Rapids and should be more fortunate in the final third if he can keep up this volume in that contest.

Leader in shots, chances created Hartel took four shots (two on goal), crossed five times (two accurate) and created a chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Dallas.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scores against Revs Hartel scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-1 win versus New England Revolution.

Impact Hartel intercepted a poor pass from a defender and quickly unleashed a long-range effort to increase the home side's lead in the 83rd minute of the game. Other than that, he completed 83 percent of his passes while playing in a central attacking midfield position. He has been very busy near the opposing goal, totaling 14 shots (nine on target), 25 crosses (five accurate) and two goals over four 90-minute outings. Additionally, he's the squad's top set-piece taker with 22 corner or free kick crosses so far.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in defeat Hartel registered four shots (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Hartel worked as one of St. Louis' main linking pieces in Saturday's loss against the Black and Gold, helping the visitors control first-half possession while keeping LAFC largely quiet before the break. Operating underneath the striker, he gave St. Louis some rhythm between the lines, but the decisive final ball and a clean look at goal never quite materialized. Once LAFC broke the deadlock, the match stretched out and his influence faded as St. Louis pushed forward chasing the game. He still logged four shots, two chances created and delivered solid service on set pieces with five corners and nine crosses. Hartel now sits on one goal through three appearances this season.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Leads St. Louis attack Hartel generated three shots (two on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Hartel's three shot attempts (two on goal) and five corners Saturday each led the St. Louis City attacking effort. However, the veteran midfielder could not pick the lock of the Seattle defense in St. Louis City's 1-0 home loss. Hartel appears to have an iron grip on St. Louis's set piece opportunities, as he has created seven chances from 11 corners over his first two appearances (two starts) of 2026.
