13 Manny Machado 3B

Machado is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks.

Machado started all 16 games to begin the season but will receive the day off Sunday with Zack Greinke on the mound for Arizona. The All-Star third baseman has a .246/.348/.474 slash line with four home runs through 66 plate appearances. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth for the Padres in his stead.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

His first-inning shot off Luke Weaver was his fourth homer of the year, but Machado also struck out in his other three plate appearances. Contact has been a bit of an issue to begin his stint with the Padres, but his .245/.355/.491 slash line through 15 games is still solid, and Machado's also added a steal, nine runs and eight RBI to his ledger. The career .282 hitter should see more hits fall in soon enough.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 3-1 victory against the Giants on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old has been on base a ton because of walks, but Machado has been a little show in most of the offensive categories. His three homers aren't bad, but Machado is hitting .244 with six RBI and seven runs with 45 at-bats already. He also has one steal.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in San Diego's 6-4 win Saturday against the Cardinals.

Machado provided the Rays' fifth and sixth runs with two-run shot in the eighth inning and has now homered twice in the last three games. The two hits raised Machado's batting average to .290 for the season.

Machado went 1-for-2 with three walks and a run in San Diego's 5-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Machado reached base in his first four appearances before grounding out in his last at-bat to snap a streak of seven straight trips to the plate where he got on base. He's the first Padres to achieve that feat since Jose Pirela in 2017, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune. Machado only has one home run through his first eight games, but he's now got a .394 on-base percentage, and the patient approach is a good sign he's seeing the ball well as he looks to consistently find his power stroke.
