Manny Machado has quiet night in Padres' loss to Braves
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Jul 13th 7:21am EDT
Manny Machado went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the Padres' 6-1 defeat to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is somewhat reflective of his season thus far, where he's batting .261 with moderate power numbers, including 12 homers and 51 RBI over 89 games. While the double adds slightly to his total, bringing him to 15 for the year, Machado's lack of multi-hit games recently is a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for robust offensive production. His strikeout rate remains stable, but an uptick in walks would be beneficial to boost his on-base percentage from its current level. Fantasy managers should monitor if this game is part of a larger trend or just a minor blip in his production trajectory.
