Subs off after 77 minutes
White took two off target shots and created a chance during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with St. Louis.
Analysis: White was held off the scoresheet finishing with the second most shots on the team before subbing off in the 77th minute. The forward has combined for nine shots and two chances created over his last three starts.
Adds goal in draw
White scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus D.C. United.
Analysis: White got in on the goal-scoring fun during Saturday's draw, taking five shots and popping up for a goal of his own. Vancouver will be disappointed not to earn more than the point from the match, but they just couldn't shut down D.C. White did his job, scoring and keeping the pressure on throughout the match.
Scores opener in 3-0 win
White scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: White scored the first goal assisted by Oliver Larraz to start the game on their way to a 3-0 win. The forward has scored 14 goals this season, matching two of his previous three seasons and he is now two goals behind his best MLS season. He has scored three games in a row and six goals in his last five starts.
Scores in 2-1 defeat
White scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Austin FC.
Analysis: White scored the only goal for his side as they lost 2-1 to Austin FC. His goal was the 15th of the season in 22 games and made it five goals in his last four starts. He took two shots in the game and put both on target. This has made it nine games in a row that he has put two shots on target, while he has put at least a shot on target in five out of his last six games.
Scores in win
White scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: White was among the goals for the top team in the Western Conference, and the forward has a great matchup coming up in an attempt to find the back of the net again. Austin FC have allowed 43 goals in 24 MLS games.
Scores second in 3-0 win
White scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: White scored the second goal for Vancouver as they went on to defeat Sporting KC 3-0. This is the striker's 13th goal of the season and he has scored three goals in the last two games. In both of these games, he has taken four shots in which he has scored from each shot on target. The forward has also created two chances in each of the last two matches.
Tallies brace
White scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-0 victory versus FC Dallas.
Analysis: White got the start and made the most of it with two goals in a big scoring night for Vancouver. The forward should be able to keep this up against Sporting KC, a side which has a league-worst minus-30 goal differential through 20 MLS matches.
Starts against Dallas
White (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's meeting with FC Dallas.
Analysis: White will make his first start since Aug. 7 following a two-match absence, relegating Rayan Elloumi to the bench. The return of the team's primary striker means they could now have better finishing ability as they look to regain the offensive threat they have lost in recent weeks. He'll likely hold significant fantasy value if he can remain the team's leading scorer after notching 10 goals during his first 17 league games of the year.
Sidelined for midweek clash
White (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Houston, Har Johal of The Daily Hive reports.
Analysis: White has been dealing with hamstring tightness, and he won't be an option here, meaning he'll miss a second consecutive match. Not having White in the lineup is a huge blow for the Caps, as the striker has 10 goals and two assists in 17 league outings in 2026. His next chance to play will come against FC Dallas on Saturday.
Won't play Sunday
White (hamstring) won't play Sunday against Seattle, Har Johal of Daily Hive reports.
Analysis: White has been dealing with hamstring tightness, and while he was spotted training on the side Friday, he won't be ready to feature over the weekend. In the meantime, Rayan Elloumi could see more minutes upfront for Vancouver, with Thomas Muller perhaps playing in a more advanced role as another possibility. White will aim to return for the Aug. 19 match against Houston, or the Aug. 22 game against FC Dallas, with both games being held at BC Place.
Suffers hamstring tightness
White was forced off in the 43rd minute of Friday's 3-1 Leagues Cup loss to Juarez due to hamstring tightness, according to coach Jesper Sorensen, per Har Journalist. "He felt some tightness in his hamstring and we have not any clear assessment of it as of now."
Analysis: White has been Vancouver's top offensive threat this season, leading the team with 10 goals and two assists across 17 starts heading into this match. His injury is a concerning development given how central he has been to the club's attack, and further clarity on the severity should emerge as Vancouver continues assessing the issue. Rayan Elloumi could see increased minutes if White had to miss some time.
Brace in goals and assists
White scored two goals and assisted twice from five shots and three chances created in Saturday's 4-2 win against San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.
Analysis: White returned from a four game scoring drought with a brilliant offensive night, recording his first assists of the season with two while adding his fourth brace of the campaign, bringing his tally to 10 goals from 53 shots across 14 games.
Takes five shots in draw
White recorded five shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: White led Vancouver in shots as usual, but could not find the back of the net. The forward scored eight times in 10 starts so far. He's on the way to top his mark from 2025, when he logged 18 goals in 24 appearances (21 starts).
Records brace
White scored two goals to go with six shots (four on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: White netted two goals for his third brace of the season. Things bring him to eight goals in nine matches played, averaging just under a goal a match, recording 39 shots (22 on target) for an average of about 4.3 shots a contest.
