The 30-year-old was quiet outside of the three-run knock, striking out twice and hitting a single to right. Through 34 games, Machado is slashing .257/.306/.412 with five home runs and 17 RBI. After a slow start to the campaign, Machado has bounced back nicely, batting .368 with four home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored in his last nine appearances.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Nearly all of Machado's production came in the first inning, when he doubled in a run and came around to score. It's been a tough start for the perennial All-Star; he's slashing just .252/.303/.389 through 142 plate appearances. However, Machado has gone 12-for-33 (.363) with five extra-base hits and nine runs scored over his last eight games.

Machado is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado appears to be receiving a routine day off. The Padres will shift Ha-Seong Kim over to third base and give Rougned Odor a start at second base while Machado sits.

Machado went 3-for-4 with one double, two homers, three RBI, four runs scored and one steal in Saturday's win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Machado delivered a two-run home run in the seventh inning that gave the Padres the lead for good. The third baseman has three homers in the last two games after swatting just one long ball in his first 25 games. The recent outburst has pumped up his numbers, but he is still slashing a disappointing .245/.289/.406 in 2023.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a rough start to the season for Machado, who was moved down to fifth in the order Thursday after going deep just once in his first 104 plate appearances. The veteran third baseman adjusted well to the new slot, belting a solo homer in the second inning. Machado still has plenty of time to turn things around, but his slow start may make it difficult for him to approach his 2022 totals of 32 homers and 102 RBI.

Machado is batting fifth Thursday against the Cubs, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the lowest Machado has been in the Padres' order since he joined the club in 2019. He connected for a double in Wednesday's win at Wrigley Field but is slashing just .214/.250/.286 across 104 total plate appearances.

Machado (back) is playing third base and batting third in Sunday's contest against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Machado was held out of the lineup Saturday due to a recent bout with back soreness, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, but the issue appears to be minor since he's back at the hot corner Sunday. Machado is off to a slow start this season, slashing .221/.253/.291 with one homer, seven RBI and a stolen base through 91 plate appearances.

Machado is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado will get a day of rest against Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks. With Machado out, Juan Soto will hit third for the Diamondbacks with Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot and Fernando Tatis batting second.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Brewers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Machado entered Thursday batting a mediocre .250, and he had yet to go deep over his first 56 plate appearances in 2023. The star third baseman finally got off the schneid with a first-inning solo homer. Machado's start to the season has been disappointing, but chances are that he'll get in a groove eventually given that he averaged 30 homers and 104 RBI over his past two campaigns.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and a stolen base in a 5-4 win over Atlanta on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Machado has hit pretty well so far this season, batting .310 through 32 plate appearances. However, he's yet to go deep, and Friday's double was just his second extra-base hit of the campaign. The two runs he scored and the theft he nabbed in the win were also his first of 2023, so perhaps he'll start racking up counting stats to complement the nice batting average.
