Manny Machado

Manny Machado went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Padres' 3-1 win over the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

Despite managing to contribute an RBI and swipe a base, Machado's ongoing struggles at the plate were evident as he failed to secure a hit. His season batting average now sits at a concerning .217, and with a wOBA of just .262, fantasy managers might be growing weary. Although he has driven in 23 runs over 42 games, his lack of consistent hitting and power numbers (only five home runs) are alarming. His ability to occasionally steal bases and drive in runs provides some value, but unless he can find a way to boost his average and on-base skills, his fantasy relevance may continue to wane.

Manny Machado went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the Padres' dominant 13-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, featuring a key extra-base hit and multiple runs batted in, provided a much-needed boost to his somewhat middling .258 season batting average. While Machado's power numbers have been decent with five homers, his overall production has been less than stellar compared to previous seasons. Fantasy managers should note that his wOBA remains solid at .306, suggesting some underlying skills are still intact despite the average. However, his low walk rate (.073) and high strikeout rate (.225) this season are areas of concern, indicating potential volatility in his performance moving forward.

Manny Machado went 1-for-4 in the Padres' 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks, contributing a home run, two runs scored, two RBI, a walk, and a strikeout.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, highlighted by his fifth homer of the season, offers a slight boost to his somewhat sluggish .250 batting average. While the power display is a positive sign, Machado's overall production has been underwhelming given his high expectations. His .299 wOBA and modest RBI totals reflect a player still finding his rhythm at the plate. Fantasy managers should remain patient, as his track record suggests potential for improvement as the season progresses.
