Further imaging revealed a fracture in Machado's left hand Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado's initial X-rays came back negative Monday, but now it seems the injury is more severe than previously thought. Padres manager Bob Melvin expressed optimism that Machado might be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, but no decision has been made yet. More information will likely come Friday, at which point a clearer timetable for Machado's return should emerge.
