  • Fellow defender Jakob Glesnes also makes his fifth start of the year.
  • Kai Wagner makes both his 35th career start and appearance for the Union.
  • Midfielder Jamiro Monteiro's start tonight against D.C. is the 30th of his career for the Boys in Blue.
  • Sergio Santos returns to the Starting XI up top alongside Kacper Przybylko. This will be the Brazilian's first MLS start against the club's I-95 rival.
