Manny Machado News
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado finished 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBI Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Machado pocketed a pair of sacrifice flies to build the Friars lead before socking a solo dinger in the eighth inning to help ice the 9-4 victory. The 28-year-old continues to hit the ball hard but hasn't found his normal consistency, slashing an uneven .239/.328/.421 with eight homers, six steals, and 64 runs-plus-RBI over 229 plate appearances. While his 1.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio are within career norms, he's been less aggressive with just a 65 percent zone-swing percentage. Fantasy managers that drafted Machado in the early rounds are certainly disappointed, but the indicators suggest the headline numbers should rebound.
San Diego Padres infielders Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth both got the day off on Sunday against the Houston Astros. They are both back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Machado is hitting second, with Cronenworth right behind him. Machado missed about a week with a shoulder injury, but has looked good since his return. He has gone 4-for-11 with two walks, three doubles, three runs and three RBI over his past three games.
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (shoulder) is expected back for the weekend series against the Houston Astros. Out since May 20, Machado has been doing baseball activities all week and roped a pinch-hit RBI double Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old has slashed just .228/.324/.401 this season with six homers, six steals and 51 runs-plus-RBI in 187 plate appearances but his return should be welcomed for all fantasy managers. With an elite average exit velocity of 93.2 mph, he's destined to turn things around.

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado had one of the best seasons of his career in 2020, a major bounce-back from 2019 when he slashed just .256/.334/.462 with a strikeout rate of 19.4% and a barrel rate of 8%. In 2020, he had a slash line of .304/.370/.580 and hit 16 home runs with 47 RBI and 44 runs. He lowered his strikeout rate to 14.6% and increased his barrel rate to 11%. Machado also demonstrated his patience and power with an OPS of .950, the highest of his career. This was well above his previous career-best clip of .905 from 2018, when he tied his career high with 37 home runs. The Padres were third in the majors in runs scored last year and Machado was a big reason why, hitting second or third in the order for the majority of the year. That positive trend should continue going into 2021 as Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are one of the most formidable batting duos in the league. Machado is a great target at the end of the second round, especially if you went with a pitcher in the first and need a hitter with first-round upside and a relatively safe floor. Machado is a career .280 hitter, so don't expect him to reach .300 yet again in 2021, but he'll be a steady and elite source of power throughout the year.
