The Athletics recalled Machin from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Machin has appeared in 13 games at the big-league level this season, going 3-for-28 at the plate. He should get playing time in the infield over the next week now that Jed Lowrie (hand) and Elvis Andrus (leg) are on the injured list.

EDGE Analysis
Machin joined the major-league roster on Saturday when Elvis Andrus landed on the paternity list. He went 2-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts in his three days with the team and will now head back to the minors upon Andrus' return.

Machin was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Friday's game against the Giants, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Machin finds himself back with the big club after Mark Canha (hip) was placed on the injured list. Machin struggled in his initial stint with the Athletics this season, recording just one hit and two walks during 22 plate appearances. He's had a strong season at Las Vegas, however, slashing .300/.391/.483 with 28 RBI, so he'll look to carry that success over to the big leagues this time around. Machin will likely serve as a reserve infielder once again and is unlikely to see many starts for the time being.

Machin is hitting .333 (9-for-27) with three doubles, a triple, four RBI, three walks and five runs across seven games since being optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on May 14.
EDGE Analysis
Success at the plate in the minors is nothing new for Machin, who has stood out with his bat at multiple stops during his professional career. However, he hasn't come close to replicating his production against major-league arms, as his stint with the Athletics earlier this season resulted in an abysmal .050/.136/.050 line across 22 plate appearances. Neverthleless, Machin could certainly regain his confidence (and the organization's) while playing in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, which could eventually lead to a return to the big-league club at some point in 2021.

Machin was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Machin spent just shy of a month on the big-league roster but did very little with his infrequent at-bats, going just 1-for-20 at the plate. He'll make way for Chad Pinder, who returned from a knee injury in a corresponding move.

Machin went 1-for-4 with a run while starting at second base in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Machin got on the board in his 2021 debut after having been recalled from the alternate training site Friday. The 27-year-old's stint in the big leagues could be brief since it's tied to Stephen Piscotty's paternity leave.

Machin was recalled from the alternate training site Friday, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old failed to make the Opening Day roster but will join the team a couple weeks into the season. Stephen Piscotty was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move, so it could be a short stint in the majors for Machin.

Machin was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Machin made a strong push for an Opening Day roster spot early in spring training, but he won't break camp with the team after he hit .271 with eight RBI and seven runs in 22 Cactus League games. The 27-year-old appeared in 24 major-league contests last year and hit .206 with two doubles and 11 runs.
