Pablo Ruiz News: On bench for Austin clash

Ruiz (quadriceps) is among the substitutes for Saturday's game versus Austin.

Ruiz has bounced back to the contention for midfield spots, hoping to get some minutes Saturday following a three-game absence. While he often focuses on passing and defensive numbers, he's also a potential corner kick taker, which may boost his playmaking value. Both Braian Ojeda and Noel Caliskan will be at risk of seeing their playing time reduced whenever Ruiz is selected.
