Injuries are starting to pile up within the Dynamo's defending group, so coach Wilmer Cabrera has begun calling in replacements from the midfield.
Boniek Garcia started at right back last weekend in place of A.J. DeLaGarza, who sat out with a right calf strain. DeLaGarza has not practiced fully this week and is doubtful for Saturday's game against Minnesota United FC.
If Garcia gets the call again – a move Cabrera said he would be comfortable with because Garcia also is comfortable with it – it will be his fifth career start at right back.
Jalil Anibaba likely is Cabrera's top choice to back up DeLaGarza.
