11 months agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is recovering from right-elbow extensor tendon repair surgery in early October and might not be ready to play defense by late March. It means that Machado might have to serve as the team's primary designated hitter to open the 2024 regular season. If that's the case, Gold Glover Ha-Seong Kim would be the likely replacement as the regular third baseman at the hot corner until Machado can return to play defense. Despite playing most of the year with his elbow injury, the 31-year-old six-time All-Star hit .258/.319/.462 with 30 home runs, 91 RBI and 75 runs scored in 601 plate appearances over 138 games played. There's a little more risk on Machado because of the fact that he might not be ready for Opening Day, but when healthy, he should continue to be one of the most consistent producers in fantasy at the hot corner.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
