From ESPN colleague @lizzybecherano.bsky.social ...MLS approves calendar change, but there's no agreement yet with the MLS Players Association on the switch. One source described the talks between #MLS and the #MLSPA as "teetering".

Head Coach Mikey Varas trusts the starting line up that beat Portland in game one.
San Diego FC is one victory away from moving on to the second round of MLS Playoffs.
Hirving “Chucky” Lozano rejoins the match day squad and should be getting minutes in the second half.
