Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's 12-5 blowout over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Each of the first six hitters in the O's lineup collected at least two hits, one run and one RBI, and as usual Machado was right in the thick of the action. He's now banged out eight hits in four games since returning from his suspension, pushing his slash line on the season to .325/.384/.609.

Machado (suspension) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

After serving his four-game suspension this week, Machado will return to his post at the hot corner for Friday's series opener against the Rays. He'll bat third in the order against Matt Moore, a lefty he's struggled to figure out thus far in his career. Machado owns a 3-for-19 lifetime mark against Moore entering Friday.

Machado dropped his appeal and will begin serving his four-game suspension Sunday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

With J.J. Hardy (foot) now back in the lineup, the Orioles will likely look to Pedro Alvarez and Ryan Flaherty to man third base during Machado's absence. Baltimore has off Thursday, so Machado won't return until Friday against the Rays.

Machado's suspension appeal will be heard Tuesday, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the appeal reportedly set for Tuesday, Machado will to be eligible to play through Baltimore's weekend series against Toronto. However, once his appeal has been heard, Machado may have to sit out for anywhere up to four games depending on the ruling. Shortstop J.J Hardy is currently on a rehab assignment and could return as soon as Friday, which would lessen the impact of Machado's absence. Still, Baltimore would likely have to lean on Pedro Alvarez or Ryan Flaherty at third base if Machado is to miss time.

Machado hit his 17th home run, a two-run shot, in a 1-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Machado has four extra-base hits including two homers in his past three games as he continues to rake. His 17 home runs ties him with Trevor Story for the major league lead among shortstops, and his .606 slugging percentage leads the position as well. His power would still rank him near the top of his old position of third base, but at shortstop, where defense comes first, nobody is anywhere near as complete a slugger as Machado has shown thus far in 2016.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

That's three multi-hit performances in his last four games, pushing Machado's slash line on the season to .308/.376/.600. He'll need to begin serving his four-game suspension soon, but given how dialed in he is at the plate it's easy to see why he'd be reluctant to take a break.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, solo homer and three runs scored in Saturday's wild 11-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old slugger, currently appealing his four-game suspension for his part in a brawl with the Royals' Yordano Ventura, brought out his big bat Saturday, tallying his second multi-hit outing over the last three games. Machado also went deep for the third time in June, already reaching half of his May homer total in 11 games during the new month. Saturday's production brings his season line to a stellar .306/.376/.600, and with 16 round-trippers on the season already, he's on pace to surpass the career-high 35 homers he blasted in 2015.

Machado has been issued a four game suspension and a fine Thursday due to his role in Tuesday's game, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado is expected to appeal the suspension after being ejected from Tuesday's game, and is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays. During the incident, he charged the mound immediately after being hit by a Yordano Ventura fastball in the fifth inning and proceeded to land a punch on Ventura. Even though he left Tuesday's game, Machado was in the lineup Wednesday for the series finale against the Royals and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Machado was ejected from Tuesday's contest after charging the mound and landing a punch on Yordano Ventura, and though the 23-year-old likely faces a suspension, no ruling has been issued as of Wednesday. He'll draw the start at shortstop and bat third against Edinson Volquez.
