Machado was ejected from Saturday's win against Texas in the eighth inning. He went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI prior to his departure.

EDGE Analysis

Machado came up to bat with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth, working a 3-0 count before ultimately whiffing on a called third strike. His displeasure with the call led to his ejection, but it didn't affect the outcome of the game. Machado is unlikely to face further discipline, so the only impact for fantasy managers who roster him is the missed opportunity on the bases-loaded strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Judging by Machado's .304/.370/.580 slash line last season, the veteran didn't exactly struggle to pick up pitches, though he noted that his vision wasn't 100% during night games in recent campaigns. Machado's .310 batting average under the lights last season was actually better than his .288 mark during day games, so the effects of the surgery are likely to be minimal for the career .280 hitter.
