13 Manny Machado 3B

Machado is hitting .087 (2-for-23) thus far in spring.

While one of Machado's hits is a home run, he has also struck out seven times. The Padres are counting on the third baseman to take a step forward this season after signing him to a 10-year, $300 million contract last February. Machado was a mild disappointment during his first campaign in San Diego, batting .256 with 32 home runs and 85 RBI.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Machado concluded his first year in San Diego by going 6-for-11 over his final three games. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old's season as a whole was mildly disappointing as his .256 batting average was the lowest of his career and his home run (32) and RBI (85) totals fell short of his 2018 marks. The Padres invested heavily in Machado last offseason and will undoubtedly be expecting a bounceback campaign in 2020.

There's no getting around the fact that this has been an underwhelming first full year in the National League for Machado. He is hitting .140 in September and .253/.332/.456 with 30 home runs and five steals in 148 games. His 106 wRC+ is his second-worst mark over the past six years, trailing only the 101 wRC+ he posted in 2017. Seth Mejias-Brean is starting at third base and hitting sixth.

He was hit by Rowan Wick's fifth pitch, pushing across the Padres' only run of the game. Machado has struggled to start September, hitting only .162 with one homer in 37 at-bats, but he is likely to resume his regular starting duties Friday.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a double Saturday in the Padres' 5-3 win over the Phillies.

The multi-hit effort was Machado's first since Aug. 4, ending a 4-for-39 skid over the Padres' 10 games in between. Machado has yet to slug a home run in August and has supplied a lowly .664 OPS since mashing three home runs in the Padres' first two games out of the All-Star break.

With only three stolen bases in four attempts, however, Machado has toned down his involvement in the run game after nabbing 14 steals between his time with the Orioles and Dodgers in 2018.
