Machado has been diagnosed with a right knee ligament sprain, MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli reports. This is excellent news considering how gruesome the injury appeared in real time, as Machado's right knee completely buckled on a swing. The O's gave an abbreviated update Tuesday, not offering a timetable regarding Machado's potential return, but it seems like there's a chance he could return this season. A more detailed update will be provided by the team Wednesday. Meanwhile Ryan Flaherty, Jonathan Schoop and Chris Davis could all see time at third base.

Machado (knee) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday morning, MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli reports. Machado left Monday's game after his knee buckled on him while in the batter's box, and was later given an initial diagnosis of a sprained right knee. This was just a preliminary classification, however, as the Tuesday MRI should provide better insight as to the nature and severity of the injury. X-rays that were taken Monday night failed to reveal any ligament damage, but an MRI will still be needed to confirm that presumption. Although the injury looked a bit gruesome, the Orioles remain optimistic, and think they may have "dodged a bullet."

Machado left Monday's game after his right knee gave out on him during a swing, MLB.com's Britt Ghiroli reports. He was in serious pain, and needed assistance to walk off the field.

Continue to monitor his status for official word from the team, but there isn't much reason for optimism here. Ryan Flaherty and Jonathan Schoop could both be options to replace Machado at third base while he's out.
