Clears suspension
Garces is eligible again for the match against Montreal following his red-card ban.
Analysis: Garces should be ready to contend for a center-back spot, though he hasn't made an MLS start since May 14, with Maya Yoshida and Jakob Glesnes favored over him. While the Colombian's availability strengthens the depth of the team, he may be reliable only when there's rotation or if he eventually takes on a bigger role, in which case he may produce several passes, tackles and clearances.
Set to miss Houston clash
Garces (toe) has been ruled out by coach Greg Vanney for the weekend's match against Houston Dynamo, Alex Ruiz of The Galactic Tribune reports.
Analysis: Garces will have to wait until MLS activity resumes in July to be involved again, although the lengthy break might give him enough time to work on his recovery. The defender ended the initial stretch of the season with one assist along with 31 clearances, 23 tackles and 13 interceptions across 10 appearances (eight starts). Both Jakob Glesnes and Justin Haak are expected to stay put at center-back until the Colombian regains full health.
