Stefan Frei - Two saves in win Frei had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 4-1 victory versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Frei continued his hot start to 2023 with another win, facing only three shots behind a stout defense. The goalkeeper already has three clean sheets in five matches, putting him just two behind his total from both 2021 and 2022. Frei behind this defense could have the chance to approach double-digit clean sheets for the first time since 2019.

Jackson Ragen - Goes entire match Ragen registered three clearances and three interceptions in Sunday's 4-1 victory versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Ragen returned from a ribs injury and was straight back in the starting XI, going the full 90 alongside Yeimar Gomez. Any concern over the severity of the injury was quickly put to rest as Ragen played with his usual intensity and didn't seem to be in any sort of pain.

Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Busy for win Yeimar Gomez recorded two tackles (two won), four clearances and one interception in Sunday's 4-1 win against Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Gomez piled on the defensive volume with tackles and clearances during Saturday's win, while going the full 90 for the fifth consecutive match. The center-back doesn't have an incredible floor, though he has consistently produced volume behind the ball, and is a lock to play the entire match.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas Lodeiro - First assist Lodeiro assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 4-1 win against Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Lodeiro opened his 2023 account with an assist during Saturday's rout. The midfielder has been a nailed-on starter with a solid floor through the opening four matches, though this was the first glimpse of his ceiling. Lodeiro has been in the MVP conversation when fit and available, and if he can avoid injury could be in that same discussion once more.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Leo Chu - Three assists in first start Chu assisted thrice to go with three shots (two on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Chu made his 2023 debut in the starting XI and promptly blew past his assist total from his first two seasons combined. The forward exploded for three assists on a night where he and Jordan Morris seemed to be in perfect harmony. Chu will hope to build off this explosive performance and continue earning more time in the first team.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Morris - Explodes for four goals Morris scored four goals to go with four shots (four on goal) and four chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Morris absolutely erupted Saturday, netting four times on four shots. Through five games Morris has already tied his entire 2022 goal-scoring return (seven.) With this absurdly hot start Morris is on pace to shatter his previous career-high of 13 goals. Still Morris has shown to be a streaky player, which could limit his week-to-week floor.

Jackson Ragen - Starting as expected Ragen (ribs) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Kansas City.
Impact Ragen returned to the starting XI for Saturday's clash. The defender returned to full training earlier in the week and is now an option for the first team once more.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Heber - Fitness test for Saturday Heber (hamstring) is listed as questionable in Seattle's injury report for Saturday's clash against Sporting KC.
Impact Heber returned to individual training with the Sounders this week and could be a game time decision to be involved against Kansas City this weekend. He started Seattle's first two games of the season before injuring his hamstring in training, but Heber will be the backup striker behind a healthy Raul Ruidiaz once he returns to fitness himself.

Obed Vargas - Called up to youth national team Vargas has been called up by the U.S. u-20 National Team for upcoming friendlies on March 22, 24 and 28.
Impact Vargas is only just returning from a back injury he's been dealing with since last June, but he'll be linking up with the U.S. u-20 side during this March international window, which rules him out of Saturday's MLS clash against Sporting KC and also possibly for the Galaxy match on April 1.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jackson Ragen - Returns to full training Ragen (ribs) was back training fully with the Sounders on Tuesday, and manager Brian Schmetzer told team reporter Niko Moreno that "he's fine."
Impact Ragen had to sub out of last weekend's draw with LAFC in the second half after picking up an injury. But the issue doesn't seem to be very serious and he seems expected to be available to return for Saturday's clash against Sporting KC.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Heber - Still out against Sporting KC Heber (hamstring) has been training individually with the Sounders this week but he will not be ready in time to face Kansas City on Saturday, according to team reporter Niko Moren...
Impact Heber seems set to miss a third game this weekend with a hamstring injury he suffered in early March, an injury that came at a horrible time for him as Heber had scored in each of his side's first two matches of the season.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Raul Ruidiaz - Called up by national team Ruidiaz was called up by Peru for CONCACAF Nations League action.
Impact Ruidiaz returned to fitness after a hamstring injury and is immediately off to international duty. The striker will be sidelined for a Saturday trip to Kansas City and will be a doubt for the April 1 trip to LA Galaxy. Fredy Montero will likely step back into the starting XI.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nouhou Tolo - Going on international duty Tolo has been called up by the Cameroon National Team for upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifiers on March 24 and 28.
Impact Tolo will miss Saturday's clash with Sporting KC and possibly the following match against the Galaxy as well due to his national team duties. With fellow full-back Alexander Roldan also competing for El Salvador during this window, the Sounders might have to change up their formation against Kansas City, with Abdoulaye Cissoko an option to slot into the back-line.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Alex Roldan - Earns national team call up Roldan has been called up by the El Salvador National Team for upcoming CONCACAF Nations League fixtures on March 22 and 27.
Impact Roldan will miss Saturday's MLS clash against Sporting KC while on international duty. He's started all four of Seattle's matches this season at right-back thus far.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Obed Vargas - Active off bench Vargas (back) played 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with LAFC.
Impact Vargas made his season debut, coming off the bench for the final half hour of Saturday's draw. The midfielder was shut down due to injury early in the summer of 2022, but when fully fit could play a major role in Seattle's midfield.
MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas Lodeiro - Sends 10 crosses Lodeiro recorded 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Lodeiro has been upstanding so far, recording 35 crosses (seven accurate) in just four matches thus far. He will be the team's main playmaker with already an average of 8.7 crosses and 2.7 corners a game.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Raul Ruidiaz - First start of season Ruidiaz registered four shots (two on target) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Ruidiaz got his first start since his early season hamstring injury and recorded four shots with two clear attempts in front of the net. He will look to have a better season after only recording nine goals in 2022. The forward will look to get his first goal of the year with a trip to Kansas City on Saturday, who have allowed three goals in the last four matches.
