In the first half of RSL's 4-0 loss to LAFC in the round of 16 of the 2023 Leagues Cup, the 24-year-old sustained the injury. After barely 13 minutes of play, Ruiz was unable to continue.

Real Salt Lake will play the Galaxy in Los Angeles on August 20 after being ousted from the Leagues Cup and waiting for the start of the regular season.
To add to their already remarkable 37 points as they sit in third place in the Western Conference standings, RSL, which defeated LA 3-2 in their most recent meeting in the US Open Cup quarterfinal, will be hoping for more of the same.
