Vimael Machín Stats

Oakland Athletics third baseman Vimael Machin went 2-for-4 with a run scored, a walk and a strikeout in the 7-5 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The rebuilding A's are giving Machin plenty of playing time as the regular season draws to a close, but he hasn't been doing much for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues. The 28-year-old hit .246 (17-for-69) with no home runs, two RBI, eight runs scored and 13 strikeouts in 24 games in the month of August. In his last six games, he's gone 3-for-17 (.177) with a run scored and five strikeouts. In 145 at-bats in 2022, Machin is slashing a weak .221/.299/.276 with a homer, six RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base.

The Oakland Athletics are calling up infielder Vimael Machin from the minors on Thursday. Machin went 4-for-32 (.125) with an RBI, three walks and 10 strikeouts in 15 games for the A's earlier this year, but he's had a breakout offensive season at Triple-A Las Vegas, slashing .324/.401/.457 with an .858 OPS, four home runs, 49 RBI and 41 runs scored in 64 games. The 28-year-old could easily see more consistent at-bats at the major league level this time around for a struggling A's team, which could make Machin valuable in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he's playing regularly. Machin is also extremely versatile with his glove, as he can play shortstop, third base and second base.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Vimael Machin went 1-for-3 and scored a run in the first game of a doubleheader vs the Rangers. Machin gained some job security on Saturday, as well, when it was announced Matt Chapman (hip) would have season-ending surgery. While he should take over as the A's primary third baseman, Machin isn't someone who should be on fantasy radars just yet. The Rule 5 Draft pick hasn't played in the Majors until this season and is batting just .212 through 19 games in 2020. He has just one extra-base hit thus far making him an afterthought for fantasy managers.
