'Caps plus Poz in Rochester - 24 Hours

By BOB MACKIN

  • THE BUZZ:

The Vancouver Whitecaps pressed rewind and will play "Poz" as they seek to fast forward up the USL-1 standings.

  • WELCOME BACK:

Polish-born, Canadian international defender and midfielder Chris Pozniak has returned to the Caps to replace departed former New York Red Bull Jeff Parke, who joined the Whitecaps while seeking a European contract. "Poz" played seven times and scored one goal for Vancouver before joining Scotland's Dundee FC. "Poz" is expected to suit-up in the blue and white when Vancouver visits the Rochester Rhinos at 5 p.m. (Fox Sports World Canada).

  • MUCH ADO PARKE

Parke's stint with the Caps was eventful. He played 11 games after finishing a MLS-mandated, United States Soccer Federation-enforced performance-enhancing substance suspension. His tackle of Wesley Charles in a July 22 practice agitated Charles and led to the assistant captain's release.

  • ON THE ROAD:

The Caps continue the road trip Saturday in Cleveland (4 p.m., www.USLlive.com).
