The Athletics placed Machin (personal) on the paternity list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Though Machin can be activated from the paternity list as soon as Tuesday, he'll likely choose to remain away from the team for the final three games of the season while he spends time with his newborn child. The 29-year-old received his first extended playing time to date in the big leagues in 2022, finishing with a .220/.300/.287 slash line to go with one home run, one stolen base, 26 runs and 13 RBI over 253 plate appearances.

Machin will be placed on the paternity list Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machin was out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, and he'll head to Puerto Rico on Monday to be with his wife following the birth of their son. He'll be unavailable for the final three games of the season while on the paternity list, which should lead to increased playing time for Jonah Bride and Ernie Clement. Machin played in a career-high 73 games in 2022 and hit .220 with a homer, 26 runs, 13 RBI and a stolen base.

Machin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Machin started the past four games and will head to the bench after he went hitless during that stretch. Ernier Clement will start at third base against Mariners southpaw Robbie Ray.

Machin isn't starting Tuesday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Machin will get a day off Tuesday against southpaw Patrick Sandoval after going 5-for-18 with four walks over the past six games. While he sits, Jonah Bride will start at the hot corner and bat leadoff for Oakland.

Machin went 2-for-3 with two walks and three runs in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Machin was one of several Athletics to make key contributions in the rather surprising upset of the Mets and ace Jacob deGrom. The 29-year-old is now on a two-week tear at the plate that constitutes his best stretch of hitting yet at the big-league level, posting a .343 average and .929 OPS across his last 10 games with four multi-hit tallies along the way.

Machin isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Machin is on the bench for the second time in the last three games after he went 1-for-3 with a double, a run, a walk and a strikeout Tuesday. Sheldon Neuse will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Machin went 2-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Machin continued to display a penchant for timely hitting in the comeback win, with his pair of RBI giving him seven over the last five games. The 28-year-old's bat has been in top form during that span, as he's generated a .350 average with three doubles across 22 plate appearances in the sample.

Machin went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI doubles and a run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Machin stepped up with a pair of timely two-baggers in the high-scoring win, with his second one tying the game at 7-7 in the ninth. The 28-year-old is in the midst of a solid September, as Wednesday's showing served as his fourth multi-hit effort of the month and pushed his average and on-base percentage to .282 and .378, respectively, during that span.

Machin is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Machin will sit against lefty Cole Ragans after going 3-for-5 with 3 RBI and a run scored Sunday against the White Sox. In his place, Sheldon Neuse will pick up the start at third base and bat seventh.

Machin went 3-for-5 with a double for a total of three RBI and a run scored in a 10-3 victory over the White Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis
