Minnesota United's Ramsay sets a course to get through a busy stretch The Loons are playing midweek and on the weekend for a month, so their manager is making Wednesday a day of rest for his best.
Julian Gressel - Starts, attempts seven crosses Gressel recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-0 loss against Houston Dynamo.
Impact For the Minnesota club, Wednesday includes Gressel's first start. If his history showcases anything, it is that he is cross-reliable. 2024 includes Gressel's 54 corners, 44 chances created and 37 accurate crosses for at least a part of nine assists also logged then.

Pablo Ortiz - Fortunate goal, unfortunate finish Ortiz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory versus Minnesota United. He was injured and subbed out in the 72nd minute.
Impact Wednesday includes Ortiz's first start since his Dynamo signing went through. For the center-back's goal, it is a case of right place and time. In the Minnesota team's penalty box for an extra-time corner, it was cleared, albeit poorly. The failed clearance resulted in a shot ball that deflected off one of MNUFC's players and floated toward an open Ortiz, who headed in his goal.

Griffin Dorsey - Good overall against Minnesota Dorsey generated two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Minnesota United.
Impact Dorsey tied both his season highs for total and accurate crosses Wednesday. Across the Dynamo's last four games, he not only created multiple chances twice but also averaged one per appearance. Defensively, Dorsey has picked up in a specific category, clearances. May's first half includes his 13, which means he averaged 4.3 per game.

Dayne St. Clair - Concedes two goals St. Clair recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 loss versus Houston Dynamo.
Impact Minnesota's current schedule has two games in four days, so it makes sense that much of the team recently rotated. This includes MNUFC's defensive unit, for which four of its primary players got benched. As expected, Minnesota struggled with ball possession more than usual, and it helped the Dynamo log multiple goals past St. Clair, who will look to bounce back. Currently, MNUFC's next game is scheduled for Saturday against St. Louis City SC.

Ezequiel Ponce - Suffers undisclosed injury Ponce was subbed off due to injury in the 85th minute of Wednesday's 2-0 win over Minnesota United. He generated three shots (one on goal) before exiting the match.
Impact In place of Ponce, Toyosi Olusanya logged several minutes, which may significantly increase should the former's undisclosed injury remain problematic. Currently, the Dynamo's next game is scheduled for Saturday at Dallas, a Texas derby.

Jack McGlynn - No assist yet great from flank McGlynn registered three shots (one on goal), 15 crosses (six accurate) and seven corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Minnesota United.
Impact Despite no assist against Minnesota United, McGlynn can attribute said problem to the lack of an end product. The attacking midfielder created seven chances, more than his Dynamo teammates' six.
