Starts versus Charlotte
Peglow (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's visit to Charlotte.
Analysis: Peglow was questionable heading into this game, having previously been inactive since Aug. 1. Even though he hasn't been in optimal form in terms of decisive contributions, recording one goal and three assists across 19 MLS starts, he usually enjoys significant playing time and set-piece numbers, raising his offensive value if he's fit enough for a full workload. He's expected to play on the left wing, with Jackson Hopkins moving to a central position and Tai Baribo seeing his involvement reduced.
Ruled out with thigh injury
Peglow is out for Wednesday's match against New England Revolution due to a thigh injury, according to the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Peglow has been an undisputed starter for his side, contributing one goal and three assists across 18 MLS appearances this season, making his absence a notable loss for the attack. His unavailability leaves a clear gap in the left midfield role heading into the match. Peglow is expected to be reassessed in the coming days as the club monitors his recovery from the injury. Jackson Hopkins is expected to start in his place at left midfield during his absence.
Scores equalizer late
Peglow scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: Peglow delivered a clutch equalizer in the 90th minute, getting on the end of Jared Stroud's looping corner, cushioning it with his first touch before ripping a right-footed strike from outside the arc that snuck just inside the left post past Roman Burki for his first MLS goal since July of last year. The strike came just two minutes before Conrad Wallem picked up his second yellow, leaving St. Louis down to 10 men and allowing D.C. United to walk away with a dramatic point. Peglow has now started all 14 of D.C.'s MLS matches this season, chipping in one goal and three assists.
Attempts four corners
Peglow recorded one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-2 win over Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Peglow updated his season-high in corners, which he has logged at least three of four times across D.C. United's last seven games. For the corner category, he is less than 10 away from tying his 25 from last season.
Two assists Wednesday
Peglow had two assists from two chances created while taking three off target shots, crossing twice inaccurately and making five tackles (winning three) during Wednesday's 4-4 draw with NY Red Bulls.
Analysis: Peglow set up Tai Baribo in the 59th minute and Jackson Hopkins in the 54th while leading United in tackles. The assists were the first goal involvement since the opening match of the season for Peglow as he's combined for six shots, eight chances created and 16 tackles over his last three appearances.
