Machin was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Machin had several stints with the major-league club in 2021, but it appears as though he'll begin the 2022 campaign in the minors. He appeared in 89 games in Las Vegas last year and slashed .295/.389/.479 with 11 homers, 66 runs, 58 RBI and two stolen bases.

Machin landed on the 10-day injured list with a stomach illness Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The illness is reportedly not coronavirus-related, but it will nonetheless end Machin's season, as he'll hit the 10-day injured list with just three days left on the schedule. He'll end the season having appeared in 15 major-league games, hitting .125/.200/.125 in that limited action. Pete Kozma was called up to take his place on the roster.

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.
