Manny Machado News
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has been activated off the paternity leave list on Friday. That is great news after Machado missed a few games earlier in the week due to a personal matter. He's batting fourth and covering third base during Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In a corresponding move, infielder Matthew Batten has been optioned to the minors. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Machado back in their lineups.
San Diego Padres third baseman/designated hitter Manny Machado is expected to return to the lineup on Friday for the start of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies at Petco Park. Machado is currently on the paternity list while he and his wife expect the delivery of their first child, and manager Mike Shildt has confirmed the star infielder will not rejoin the club ahead of their series finale against the division-rival Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Before taking some time away, the 31-year-old six-time All-Star was slashing a modest .260/.324/.417 with four home runs, three doubles, 12 RBI, and 15 runs scored in 105 plate appearances (24 games). In 16 games versus the Phillies since 2021, Machado is hitting .267 (16-for-60) with six homers, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, and one stolen base.
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. The superstar infielder will be away from the team for one to three days due to personal matters. In a corresponding move, infielder Matthew Batten has been recalled from Triple-A El Paso. Batten will take over the active spot on the roster and figures to play in a few games until Machado returns. Eguy Rosario is starting at third base and is hitting seventh on Monday against the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber.

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado's fantasy stock is down in 2024, although he still managed to hit 30 home runs and drive in 91 runs in his fifth season with the Friars in 2023. The 31-year-old six-time All-Star's .782 OPS was his lowest mark since 2017, and his .258 batting average (140-for-543) was his lowest since 2019, his first year in San Diego. An elbow injury that plagued Machado for much of the season could be to blame, though. The injury was the reason why he made 33 appearances as the team's designated hitter to close out the season before he underwent surgery to fix a tendon in his elbow following the conclusion of the season. Machado, now 31, probably won't be ready for the start of spring training and could be limited to DH duties again at the opening of the 2024 regular season. There's a little more risk associated with Machado due to his offseason surgery, but he was still able to produce 30 homers for the second straight season and came just shy of his third-straight 100-RBI campaign while being at less than 100% health for a good chunk of the year. And when healthy, there's no reason to believe he won't continue to be an elite defender at third base. RotoBaller currently has Machado ranked as the No. 53 overall player, with ATC projecting him for a rebound in average at .270 while adding 29 home runs and 93 RBI in 2024. Machado is RotoBaller's No. 6 fantasy third baseman heading into draft season.
