Machado went 1-for-4 with a base hit, a walk, an RBI and a run Tuesday in the Padres' 5-4 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Machado has now put together an eight-game hitting streak and has reached base in all but one of his last 20 starts. While there's something to be said about that sort of consistency, Machado has provided little during that 20-game stretch beyond a high average (.319) and on-base percentage (.400). Only five of his 23 hits in that span have gone for extra bases, while the many slumping bats surrounding him in the lineup have limited him to eight RBI and seven runs. Machado will look to keep the streak going in Wednesday's series finale, as he'll start at shortstop and bat third against Yankees southpaw James Paxton.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Of Machado's nine homers this year, four have come against the Dodgers -- including two off future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. After struggling at the start of his first season with the Padres, Machado has picked it up by getting at least one hit in 16 of his last 18 games, batting 21-for-72 (.292) over that stretch.

Machado went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 12-2 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
He got a weekend series in Coors Field started on the right foot. Machado's hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, slugging four homers over that stretch, but his .250/.325/.438 slash line through his first 38 contests for the Padres remains below the expectations established by his mammoth contract.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Machado drilled a pair of solo shots off Dodgers starter Rich Hill. With his first multi-homer game of 2019, he has four long balls in four games this month, giving him eight on the year. The 26-year-old is still batting just .244 across 123 at-bats.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Padres' 5-1 defeat to the Braves on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a slow start to the season for Machado, but he managed to check in with his fifth long ball of the season in this contest, touching up Max Fried with a fourth-inning solo blast for his team's only run on the day. It was his first time leaving the yard since April 12 and Machado is still slashing just .236/.323/.391 through his first 110 at-bats with the Padres. However, he can heat up in a hurry, so hopefully this is a sign he's set to get on track.

Machado is starting at shortstop for Tuesday's tilt against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
With Fernando Tatis Jr. on the injured list with a hamstring injury, Machado gets the nod at shortstop for this contest in his absence. He could find himself manning the position frequently while the Padres' star rookie is out instead of his usual spot at the hot corner.

Machado is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Machado started all 16 games to begin the season but will receive the day off Sunday with Zack Greinke on the mound for Arizona. The All-Star third baseman has a .246/.348/.474 slash line with four home runs through 66 plate appearances. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth for the Padres in his stead.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
His first-inning shot off Luke Weaver was his fourth homer of the year, but Machado also struck out in his other three plate appearances. Contact has been a bit of an issue to begin his stint with the Padres, but his .245/.355/.491 slash line through 15 games is still solid, and Machado's also added a steal, nine runs and eight RBI to his ledger. The career .282 hitter should see more hits fall in soon enough.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 3-1 victory against the Giants on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been on base a ton because of walks, but Machado has been a little show in most of the offensive categories. His three homers aren't bad, but Machado is hitting .244 with six RBI and seven runs with 45 at-bats already. He also has one steal.
