The home side will be missing midfielders Julian Gaines and Anibal Godoy, who are both sidelined with ankle and thigh injuries, respectively.
Randall Leal will also be unavailable, as he continues to recover from a hip issue. Adding to their woes, defensive stalwart Lukas MacNaughton is also ruled out with an ankle problem, while captain Walker Zimmerman has been called up to represent the United States at the upcoming Olympics in France.
In Zimmerman's absence, Bauer is expected to step up and partner Jack Maher at the heart of the Nashville defense.
