Impact Kikanovic scored in the 17th minute to double San Jose's lead with his first goal in the season. That was his only main contribution before subbing off during halftime, though. The midfielder now has 21 starts in 23 overall appearances.

Impact Edwards Jr made four or more saves for the third time in four starts to help San Jose win at home. The goalkeeper has no clean sheets over that span, though. He will now look to keep things rolling at Minnesota on Saturday.

Timo Werner - Cleared to face Minnesota Werner is available for the regular-season finale against Minnesota after serving his one-match suspension during Saturday's MLS clash against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Werner missed Saturday's encounter against Real Salt Lake after receiving a red card against Colorado Rapids, where he had also provided an assist. The midfielder has now completed his suspension and is eligible to return for the final match of the regular season. His availability provides an additional attacking option after Niko Tsakiris, Nick Fernandez and Luka Jovanovic emerged as potential replacements during his absence. Werner will look to regain his place in the starting lineup against Minnesota.

Niko Tsakiris - Assists in lively cameo Wednesday Tsakiris assisted once to go with five crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Tsakiris transformed his team's attacking dynamic after entering as a late substitute, matching Ousseni Bouda for a team-high four chances created in just an 11-minute display. The player relied heavily on precise set-piece deliveries to create dangerous scoring opportunities for his teammates. The midfielder had established himself as a regular starter prior to an upper-body injury that sidelined him for roughly a month, compiling one goal and three assists alongside 13 chances created and five shots taken in his four outings prior to the setback. He has now made two straight appearances off the bench since returning and could be in contention to return to the starting lineup for the final two games of the regular season.

Reid Roberts - Scores in strong two-way outing Roberts scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Colorado Rapids.

Impact Roberts delivered an impressive two-way display against Colorado on Wednesday, and he opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner. The center-back recorded a season-high three shots and also matched his season high with four tackles, while adding five clearances and one block. Roberts has now made five clearances in three straight games and has won three tackles in two of his last three outings.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Jasinski - Scores late equalizer Jasinski scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Jasinski made his third straight start for San Jose against Colorado on Wednesday, the longest run of starts in his rookie season, and he was a constant threat from set pieces. The right back had three shots from dead ball situations, and he eventually got his reward when he met a corner at the back post for the equalizer late on. The defender has also contributed one tackle, eight clearances and three interceptions across his three straight starts.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Angus Gunn - Concedes two goals in draw Gunn had no saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Gunn was unable to keep out either of the two shots on target he faced in Wednesday's draw with Colorado, and he finished without a save. The goalkeeper has now conceded seven goals while making 12 saves across his last four games, all without a clean sheet. The Scotland international will hope to bounce back when San Jose host Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

Timo Werner - Assists, gents sent off versus Rapids Werner contributed one assist and received a red card during Wednesday's game against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Werner delivered a great set-piece cross for the first goal of the match but then left his team with 10 men because of an argument in the second half. The latter event forces him to miss the upcoming meeting with Real Salt Lake through suspension, with his next chance to return coming in the final regular-season week versus Minnesota. One among Wednesday's substitutes Niko Tsakiris, Nick Fernandez and Luka Jovanovic will likely fill in while Werner serves his ban.

Benjamin Kikanovic - No injury designation Kikanovic (lower body) has no injury designation for Wednesday's clash with Colorado, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Kikanovic is absent from the MLS injury report for Wednesday's clash. That's a good sign the midfielder might be set to make his return from this nagging issue. He's been on and off the bench with a lower body injury in the last month, and was shut down for the last three matches. If he's truly had time to heal he could be back in contention for consistent minutes at right-back off the bench and as a starter.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Timo Werner - Poor in service Werner recorded seven crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus FC Dallas.

Impact Of Werner's seven crosses, only one was deemed to be accurate as San Jose's offense was shut down. The attacker has a tougher matchup looming against Colorado Rapids, a team that has only conceded 41 goals through 31 MLS games.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Angus Gunn - Surrenders three goals Gunn had three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against FC Dallas. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Impact Gunn did make three saves but he was the only one who conceded goals in this match. The goalkeeper will get a bit of a breather as he faces a Colorado Rapids team next that has scored just 42 goals across 31 MLS matches.

Preston Judd - Back after yellow-card ban Judd is available for selection again after serving his one-match suspension for yellow-card accumulation.

Impact Judd returns to contention after missing one match following his fifth yellow card in 13 league appearances, which he received during the 1-1 draw against Nashville SC. The forward had been in excellent form before his suspension, scoring five goals across his previous six MLS appearances, including San Jose's lone goal against Nashville. With 16 goals on the season, Judd has established himself as a key attacking option and will look to regain his starting role immediately following his return.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Niko Tsakiris - Bench option Saturday Tsakiris (upper body) is on the bench for Saturday's game versus FC Dallas.

Impact Tsakiris has finally overcome the issue that forced him to miss the previous four game weeks, hoping to feature as a substitute before taking a central midfield role from Beau Leroux or Ronaldo Vieira. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a productive campaign so far, with his seven assists tied as the highest mark on the squad.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Skahan - On bench for Dallas trip Skahan (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's meeting with FC Dallas.

Impact Skahan will look to reappear after dealing with an injury that sidelined him since early October. He's not guaranteed to earn a starting spot in the remaining fixtures, having failed to log more than 45 minutes in a single league game since July. Thus, he'll have to push for opportunities in the rotation alongside Eduard Lowen, Timo Werner and Ousseni Bouda.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Timo Werner - Avoids absence Werner (lower body) is in the starting XI for Saturday's duel versus FC Dallas.

Impact Werner was questionable until the final days before this game, so his presence from kickoff is a great relief for San Jose's front line. The experienced attacker will operate as a finishing threat while holding creative upside from both open play and set pieces. Those duties should give him decent chances of ending a four-game unproductive streak in terms of goals and assists even against a strong opposition. His inclusion leaves Luka Jovanovic as a backup option going forward.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Timo Werner - Fitness question before Dallas trip Werner is questionable for Saturday's trip to FC Dallas as he deals with a lower body knock, per the league's injury report.

Impact Werner was subbed off in the 67th minute of last weekend's draw with Nashville and presumably picked up the problem after that appearance. Even though he has gone five straight games without a goal dating back to August, the forward is a key member of the Earthquakes' attacking unit. San Jose clinched a playoff spot with that last draw, so they likely won't want to take any risks of Werner worsening the injury in regular season. If he's not fit enough, his spot could be covered by Luka Jovanovic at least until Preston Judd is back from suspension.
