Seattle SoundersClears suspension
Raegan has served his two match suspension and will return for the clash with Vancouver on Aug 16.
Analysis: Raegan received an additional match suspension after his red card against Austin FC on July 22. He's featured twice since the World Cup break, starting 13 of his 14 league appearances and stacking up 87 clearances with 12 blocks.
Still suspended
Ragen is facing an extended ban and will miss the weekend's meeting with Portland Timbers, per the MLS availability report.
Analysis: Ragen remains ineligible due to the red card he received against Austin, worsening the defensive situation for a side that is without Yeimar Gomez (calf) and possibly Kim Kee-Hee (hamstring). If none of the three recognized center-backs can feature, Seattle will be expected to use Stuart Hawkins and Antino Lopez in the middle of the defense once again.
Set to return vs Portland
Ragen has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the clash with Portland on Saturday.
Analysis: Ragen served his first suspension of the season after being sent off against Portland, ending a run of seven consecutive starts. During that stretch, he contributed 32 clearances, nine tackles, and seven blocks, solidifying his importance to Seattle's back line.
Sent off Wednesday
Ragen was shown a red card during Wednesday's loss to Austin FC.
Analysis: Ragen had to leave the field after receiving a second yellow card due to a stoppage-time foul during the defeat. The defender will consequently miss the next MLS matchup versus Philadelphia Union through suspension and will be eligible again to face Portland on Aug. 1. This situation may give Antino Lopez a chance to return to the starting lineup alongside Stuart Hawkins.
Four clearances made
Ragen recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute.
Analysis: Ragen logged in four clearances along with a tackle during the draw to Seattle. He's produced 39 clearances in the las five matches played, making four blocks in that span while also keeping two clean sheets in that span.
