The Vancouver Whitecaps are rapidly emerging as one of Major League Soccer’s most dangerous teams, and they’ll look to keep that momentum rolling when they host Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.

Forward Brandon Vazquez missed the game due to illness and remains doubtful for Saturday, while dynamic midfielder Dani Pereira was forced off after 29 minutes with a hip flexor injury

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola remains one of the most seasoned and respected arms in Major League Baseball, but 2025 hasn’t been kind to him. Despite a recent performance that showed signs of a turnaround, Nola enters his next start still searching for his first win of the season.
