Scouting Report: Manny Machado

Recently moved back to third base after serving as DH, Machado has shown some signs of life with a solo home run (his 200th as a Padre, 375th career) in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis, and a sacrifice fly in a 10-inning comeback win. Despite the struggles, Machado remains confident, noting he has approximately 500 at-bats remaining in his 15th MLB season and that the team is winning (27-18 record).
