PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Timbers have signed six T2 players to short-term loan agreements ahead of the team's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 match against Tacoma Defiance tonight, May 6.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. (Pacific) at Starfire Sports Complex on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+.
Guerra, a 2024 MLS SuperDraft selection out of Louisville, currently leads T2 with three goals. Linhares, also a 2024 MLS SuperDraft selection, has two goals and a team-leading two assists in 2025. Enriquez, Jura and Nuñez are all products of the Timbers Academy while Pope is in his third season with T2.
