Manny Machado Back In Action Monday
1 year agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is back in the starting lineup Monday when he will take on the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Machado sat out of Sunday's 12-2 drubbing of the visiting Cardinals but will return as the club's designated hitter Monday in San Francisco. The veteran has been getting more rest of late as he deals with an oblique issue but has still gone 5-for-8 with two home runs and four RBI over his last two games. While he has had a down season by his lofty standards, he has hit the 30-homer plateau for the seventh time over his last eight full seasons, coming up two HR shy in the 2021 season. Machado is 5-for-18 (.278) with a homer, a double, a walk, and four strikeouts in 20 career plate appearances versus Webb.
