On bench against Philadelphia
Raines (lower body) is on the bench to face Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
Analysis: Raines completed his recovery from the issue that put his status in doubt for this match, but he's fit enough only for limited minutes. After that, he should challenge Matt Polster and Jackson Yueill for starts in the defensive midfield zone. In that case, Raines will likely have a few more opportunities to increase his passing and tackling numbers in the remaining rounds of the 2026 season.
Questionable Saturday
Raines could miss his team's next games through a lower body concern, according to the league.
Analysis: Raines, a midfielder who arrived from Houston for the 2026 campaign, has made 27 league appearances in his first year with the Revolution, and his potential absence could be felt in central areas. With Alhassan Yusuf (hamstring) also injured, Jackson Yueill might see his playing time increased alongside Matt Polster if Raines is forced to miss future contests.
Resumes midfield duties after USMNT stint
Raines has rejoined New England Revolution following his first senior international call-up with the United States and is available for Saturday's MLS clash against Seattle Sounders after being omitted from the league's latest injury report.
Analysis: Raines missed the matchup against Real Salt Lake while representing the USMNT during the international break but is now ready to reclaim his regular starting role in midfield. The 21-year-old has started all 23 of his MLS appearances this season, recording one goal and two assists in his debut campaign with New England since joining from Houston Dynamo in December. His first senior call-up marks another milestone after earning 26 caps across various U.S. youth national teams, including captaining the U21 side and scoring against France at the 2025 U20 World Cup. Given his consistent starting role throughout the campaign, Raines should slot straight back into the starting XI against Seattle.
Earns first senior USMNT call-up
Raines has been selected for international duty by the United States Men's National Team for the September/October FIFA window, earning his first senior call up and will therefore miss Saturday's clash against Real Salt Lake, according to the club.
Analysis: Raines has scored one goal with two assists across 23 appearances, all starts, in his debut campaign with New England since joining from Houston Dynamo last December, adding to a career total of 68 MLS appearances. The 21 year old midfielder has recorded 26 international caps across various youth levels, including captaining the U21 side and featuring at the 2025 U20 World Cup, where he scored in a win over France, and this call up now marks a significant step up to the senior national team. Raines should return in time for the clash against Seattle on October 10.
Back from ban
Raines has served is one match suspension and will make the trip to Columbus on Saturday.
Analysis: Raines is expected back in the lineup for New England after serving a suspension vs. NYCFC. He hasn't been much of a contributor lately, scoring once across his last six appearances while creating five chances and adding nine tackles, eight clearances, and six blocks.
Suspended vs. NYCFC
Raines is out for Sunday's game against New York City FC due to a yellow-card suspension.
Analysis: Raines picked up his eighth yellow card of the season in the 3-0 win over DC United in the previous round, and this will be the second time he's suspended due to yellow-card accumulation in 2026. The midfielder should be able to return for the matchup against Columbus on Saturday, Aug. 29. With Raines out, expect Jackson Yueill to take his place in central midfield.
Scores first goal of season
Raines scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Raines would finally find the back of the net for the Revs, as he scored the final goal of the match in the 67th minute for his first goal of the season. This comes after 15 appearances, only missing one game all season. He is yet to earn an assist, although his defensive positioning hinders much of his attacking value.
Suspension served
Raines has served his suspension and will be available to face Toronto on July 22 following the World Cup break.
Analysis: Raines had been forced to sit out due to the suspension, but his return to availability is a welcome development for the club as they prepare to resume MLS action after the World Cup. The midfielder is expected to slot straight back into the starting lineup against Toronto once the league resumes following the break.
Handed suspension
Raines is set for a suspension and will miss the trip to Charlotte on Saturday.
Analysis: Raines will miss his first match of the season and the last match before the World Cup after serving a suspension due to yellow card accumulation. He is still looking for his first goal contribution of the season, however has collected 20 clearances with 10 tackles in the last six appearances.
Plays full game
Raines registered one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Raines completed 29 of 30 passes and contributed heavily defensively with seven clearances, one interception, one tackle and one block. He has orchestrated the midfield effectively and has now started all nine matches this campaign.
