Machado suffered the hip flexor strain during the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels as he hustled to first base in an effort to beat out a double play.

Manager Mike Shildt said Wednesday that Machado is day-to-day with a mild right hip flexor strain, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Machado injured his hip while hustling to first base in an effort to beat out a double play ball in the fourth inning. It appears he managed to avoid any significant damage, but it's possible the Padres hold him out of Thursday's series opener against Arizona in order to give his hip a chance to recover. The 31-year-old has gone 8-for-22 with four RBI and two stolen bases across his last seven games.

Machado was removed from Wednesday's game against the Angels due to an apparent leg injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Machado suffered the injury while running to first base on an attempt to beat out a double play during the fourth inning. The slugging third baseman likely tweaked something in his lower body while running, but the Padres should clarify the nature of Machado's injury relatively soon.

Machado went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Machado notched his first three-hit game of the year and managed to swipe a base for a second straight game. He drove in the Padres' first run of the game in the third, which makes it four RBI over his last five games. He's been extremely locked in at the plate over the last few weeks, slashing .344/.420/.492 with nine RBI, seven runs and an 8:11 BB:K in 69 plate appearances since May 19.

Machado went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Machado's solo shot in the first inning was the lone run for the Padres in Monday's loss. He was intentionally walked twice and also stole his fourth base of the year. The long ball snapped a brutal 26-game drought since his last homer May 3; during that cold streak, he posted a .591 OPS. Machado is now slashing .242/.307/.372 with 17 extra-base hits and 32 RBI through 244 plate appearances this season.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-0 victory versus Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Machado used his legs to help generate San Diego's final run in the eighth inning, hitting a one-out single and stealing second base before coming home on a Donovan Solano double. The single extended Machado's hitting streak to seven games, and he has four doubles along with three RBI and a .320 batting average during that span. However, the third baseman is in the midst of a lengthy homer drought -- he's now gone 22 games since his last long ball and has just five home runs through 223 plate appearances this season.
