Manny Machado
3B/DH SD
Machado left Monday's game after his right knee gave out on him during a swing, MLB.com's Britt Ghiroli reports.
He was in serious pain, and needed assistance to walk off the field. Machado had reconstructive surgery on his left knee at the end of last season, so the one bit of good news is that it's not the same knee. However, the replays of the injury Monday were difficult to watch, and it seems quite possible that the injury is season-ending. Continue to monitor his status for official word from the team, but there isn't much reason for optimism here. Ryan Flaherty and Jonathan Schoop could both be options to replace Machado at third base while he's out.
