Machado went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs in Thursday's 9-1 win against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The big news in San Diego on Wednesday was the debut of new acquisition Juan Soto, but Machado gave a loud reminder that the team didn't lack for superstars prior to Soto's arrival. Machado hit a solo shot in the fifth inning and finished with his 29th multi-hit performance of the campaign. Perhaps the addition of Soto and Josh Bell will inspire a resurgence of Machado's bat -- the third baseman had been slashing .191/.278/.426 in 12 second-half games prior to Wednesday.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Machado gave San Diego an early lead with his third-inning solo shot to left field, but the Padres didn't score again until the ninth frame. The long ball was the second in as many games for Machado, who has gone deep three times since the All-Star break. The veteran third baseman leads the Padres in hits (103), homers (18), RBI (57) and OPS (.886).

Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Friday's 10-1 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Machado's fifth-inning blast accounted for two of the Padres' six runs during that frame. It was his second long ball in seven games since the All-Star break and his 17th homer of the year. The third baseman has had some mild struggles in July, as his batting average has dropped from .327 at the beginning of the month to .298 after Friday's contest. He's added an .884 OPS, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 90 games.

Machado (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Machado tweaked his ankle during the 10th inning of Tuesday's win over Detroit but remained in the game afterward. Although the Padres have a scheduled day off Thursday that would have allowed Machado to rest for two days, he's serving as the designated hitter and batting third Wednesday.

Manager Bob Melvin said Machado tweaked his left ankle "a little bit" during the 10th inning of Tuesday's win over the Tigers, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado apparently suffered the injury when stepping on first base as he reached via an error as the second batter of the 10th inning, though he remained in the game and eventually came around to score. The 30-year-old will be evaluated further Wednesday. San Diego has a scheduled day off Thursday, so the team could opt to rest Machado on Wednesday to give him two full days of rest ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Twins.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Machado picked up his first multi-hit effort since July 14, which included an RBI double that sparked a three-run rally in the ninth inning. He's up to 20 two-baggers this season, reaching that mark for the seventh time in the last eight years -- the 60-game 2020 season being the lone exception. The third baseman is slashing .303/.376/.517 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 86 contests as a steady presence in the heart of the Padres' order.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 2-1 victory versus the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Offense was hard to come by for both teams in the contest, and Machado's two-run, sixth-inning blast turned out to be the decisive hit in the contest. The All-Star third baseman is batting just .185 through 18 games in July, though four of his 12 hits this month have left the park. Machado leads the Padres with 16 homers, 53 RBI and 96 hits on the campaign.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Machado has homered three times in his last five games, and he's up to 15 long balls this year. He took Rockies reliever Lucas Gilbreath deep in the seventh inning Monday. Since the start of July, Machado has gone 5-for-33 (.152), and his last multi-hit effort was June 18, which was a day before he suffered an ankle injury that cost him nine games. The recent slump has dropped his slash line to .310/.385/.538 through 77 contests this year.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Machado got the scoring started with his first-inning blast off Sam Long, which was the third baseman's second long ball in as many games. He's shown power but not consistency early in July, going 4-for-22 (.181) with two homers and a double across seven games. It's likely just a bump in the road, as the 30-year-old owns a .315/.390/.541 slash line with 14 homers, 50 RBI, 51 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 74 contests this year.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 2-1 extra-inning victory versus San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Machado crushed a 421-foot solo shot off Logan Webb in the fourth inning. That stood as the Padres' lone run until Jorge Alfaro produced a walk-off double in the 10th. The long ball was Machado's first since he returned from a nine-game absence due to an ankle injury. In seven contests since his return, the veteran third baseman is batting .174 and has struck out 11 times in 23 at-bats.
