DC UnitedSuspension served
Bartlett has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the match vs New England on Wednesday.
Analysis: Bartlett will return to his starting XI role for D.C. United, having started every league match this season. He's averaging roughly 7.5 clearances per game and has added 20 blocks and 15 tackles across 18 appearances.
Serving suspension
Bartlett is set for a one match suspension and will miss the clash with Montreal on Aug 15.
Analysis: Bartlett's streak of 18 consecutive appearances comes to an end as he'll miss his first match of the season due to suspension. He's been an ironman for D.C. United, starting all 18 games while scoring twice, piling up 135 clearances, adding 20 blocks, and helping secure four clean sheets. In his absence, Sean Nealis is the most likely candidate to step into the lineup, depending on his fitness.
Scores fourth in 4-4 draw
Bartlett scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-4 draw against CF Montreal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 100th minute.
Analysis: Bartlett scored, assisted by Keisuke Kurokawa in the 87th minute. This put the game to 4-2 with just minutes to go, and D.C. United surely thought they had won. Montreal scored two in injury time to draw 4-4. This was his second goal in four games and his first time taking two shots in the last eight games, although he has taken at least one shot in the last four matches.
Scores first since 2024
Bartlett scored on his only shot in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC. He was also whistled for three fouls committed.
Analysis: Bartlett headed home from close range to give D.C. United a two-goal cushion just under the 30-minute mark in the first half. The goal was the first for the centerback since 2024. He'll look to get involved on set pieces again in Wednesday's home tilt with the Chicago Fire.
