Union defender Joshua Yaro did not have the easiest of assignments in his first two Major League Soccer games, and if the rookie starts Saturday against the visiting San Jose Earthquakes (4-2-2), it would be another major challenge.
Yaro, the second overall selection in the MLS SuperDraft out of Georgetown, earned his first start April 16 when center back Ken Tribbett suffered a right ankle sprain. Tribbett is listed as questionable for Saturday.
Yaro's first start came in a 2-1 loss at Seattle, which features U.S. national team standout Clint Dempsey. Last week, the Union beat New York City FC, 2-0.
