Colorado RapidsRegisters most crosses
Aaronson had one shot (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and nine corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: Aaronson recorded the most crosses in the game, created two chances and also made three tackles, one clearance and one interception. This was the first time in four games that he created a chance, with his last goal contribution coming in early April.
Six crosses off bench
Aaronson had one shot (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Aaronson, who was questionable heading into the match due to a leg injury, subbed onto the pitch in the 39th minute to replace the injured Josh Atencio (concussion). He was fairly productive throughout the rest of the match as he recorded six crosses for just the third time this season and added one shot on target. He also won two tackles and made two interceptions in his 51 minutes off the bench.
On bench in Houston clash
Aaronson (leg) is available as a substitute option Saturday versus Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Aaronson was unable to retain his starting spot, although he'll likely get minutes if he's fit enough, challenging Alexis Manyoma, Joshua Atencio and Hamzat Ojediran in central midfield. The No. 10 has excelled in attacking tasks this season, racking up multiple shots in six of his last seven league appearances and scoring three goals in that span. However, his playmaking output has been erratic lately due to his team's lack of set pieces.
Questionable with leg issue
Aaronson is questionable with a leg injury ahead of Saturday's visit to Houston Dynamo, per the MLS player status report.
Analysis: Aaronson's status is uncertain, and his availability will depend on how his leg injury progresses. If Aaronson is unable to play, Joshua Atencio and Hamzat Ojediran will likely take the starting midfield spots. Aaronson's fantasy value will be impacted by his injury, and he may not be able to play a full 90 minutes even if he is cleared to play, but he could serve as a source of shots and set pieces when he's on the field.
