Kristoffer Velde - Back-to-back assists Velde assisted once to go with seven shots (two on goal), 17 crosses (four accurate) and 10 corners in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Velde delivered his most threatening performance of the season, leading his side with a season-high seven shots while also seeing a goal disallowed. He matched David Da Costa atop the creative charts with five chances created and added a season-high 17 crosses. His only official goal contribution came from one of his 10 corners, which was converted by Felipe Mora. It continues a bright start to the post-World Cup period for Velde, who has now registered back-to-back assists while totaling 10 shots and seven chances created across those two matches.

Felipe Mora - Brace in sendoff game Mora scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Mora bid farewell to Portland in the best way imaginable, coming on for injured Kevin Kelsy in the starting XI and delivering a second half brace, both goals coming from headed corner kicks, to complete a 2-1 comeback win over Real Salt Lake. It capped a memorable final week for the Chilean forward, who also produced a stoppage time equalizer off the bench in his previous outing. Over seven seasons in Portland, Mora established himself as one of the most productive attackers in club history, tallying 48 goals and 20 assists in 145 MLS appearances. He is set to return to Liga MX with Atletico San Luis.

Omir Fernandez - Trains fully, appears for Timbers 2 Fernandez (foot) came off the bench in the 67th minute vs Real Monarchs in the MLS Next Pro. He has also been training fully with the senior team, per Jeremy Peterman of Cascadia F...

Impact Fernandez made his first appearance on the pitch in 2026 after recovering from foot surgery. He's easing back in with the reserves while continuing to train regularly with the senior squad. His progress suggests a strong chance of returning to full action within the next week or two.

Morgan Guilavogui - Set for suspension after red card Guilavogui delivered an assist before being sent off in the first half of Saturday's duel versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Guilavogui kicked an opposing player in the face, and the aggression was judged intentional after VAR review, leading to his exit from the weekend's match. It was an unfortunate action for the winger, who had produced his fourth assist of the season earlier in the game. He'll be suspended for the next MLS fixture against St. Louis, so another player such as Saba Lobzhanidze will move into the initial squad. After that, Guilavogui will be available to face Minnesota United on Aug. 15.

Felipe Mora - Scores in draw Mora scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus FC Dallas.

Impact Mora made an immediate impact, finishing inside the box just nine minutes after coming on as a substitute. He has found it difficult to earn consistent minutes this season, starting just four of his 12 appearances and accumulating 373 minutes of action. His impact off the bench leaves his starting role for the next fixture uncertain, though if he does feature against Salt Lake, who sit fourth in the Western Conference standings, it will be a difficult test to build on the momentum.
