8 Manny Machado SS

Machado went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in Monday's Game 4 win over the Braves.

It was Machado's second homer of the series and accounted for almost all of the Dodgers' offense. Machado will look to stay hot against the Brewers in the NLCS.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 17-4 rout of the Cardinals on Saturday.

Machado provided one of the Dodgers' five long balls, upping his season total to 35 in the process. The 25-year-old is just two homers and one RBI away from tying his career highs in each category with 13 games left in the 2018 campaign.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Cardinals.

Machado took John Brebbia deep in the seventh inning to record his 34th home run of the season. He had turned in a productive effort before the home run, driving in runs on a double and sacrifice fly. While his production has met preseason expectations, the long ball was Machado's first since Aug. 30 and he has managed just five RBI in that span.

Machado is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Machado sits for just the second time since joining the Dodgers at the All-Star break. He's hit a solid .273/.351/.488 with nine homers and five steals for his new team. Enrique Hernandez will start at shortstop in his place.

Machado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Machado took Robbie Ray deep in the sixth inning to record his 33rd home run of the season. He now has five home runs in his past eight games after hitting only two through the first three weeks of August. While he's posted standout seasons in the past, Machado is pacing towards career-best marks in batting average, on-base percentage, home runs, and RBI.
