Melano reportedly went to Los Angeles last week to determine whether he will need offseason surgery to address the issue, and while the team will monitor his minutes as the season winds down, he is at least still available to play. If he's held out Saturday, Jack Barmby or Ned Grabavoy could start, as Darren Mattocks will be out for the next two-to-three weeks because of a hamstring injury.Fantasy Analysis
Mattocks missed eight games earlier this season because of a hamstring injury, and while he may not miss many games due to the upcoming international break, it's still a big blow to the Timbers given that Lucas Melano continues to deal with a groin injury. If Melano is unable to start in Mattocks' absence, Jack Barmby or Ned Grabavoy could get more playing time.Fantasy Analysis
Lodeiro's absence will be a massive one for the Sounders, who are also without Clint Dempsey for the remainder of the season. Andreas Ivanschitz may take on a more attacking responsibility, with Erik Friburg possible moving into the starting lineup.Fantasy Analysis

Bono both tallied his first clean sheet since an Aug. 3 win over Real Salt Lake and recorded three total saves for the third time in as many starts on Wednesday. Toronto FC's goalkeeper exits the month of September having surrendered four total scores on a combined 10 shots on goal, but continuing to sport a glowing 1.07 goals-an-appearance average on the year.Fantasy Analysis
An impressive showing in Wednesday night's fixture found Bradley not only topping all players for interceptions and falling one tackle short of a game-high four, but, more importantly, recording the best overall rating of any player (8.21) in the scoreless draw. The defender now prepares for a Saturday night home contest against D.C. United having produced just one goal on a lone shot in the month of September, yet continuing to prove an absolute force to be reckoned with along Toronto FC's backline.
