Manny Machado Returning For Friars
Manny Machado (hip) "will be in the DH spot to make sure we limit the load on his lower half." A strained right hip flexor has kept Machado out of the team's starting lineup for each of the last four games, although he did serve in a pinch-hitting role several times since getting hurt last week in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. The 31-year-old veteran will hope to pick up where he left off offensively before his injury as he faces Oakland Athletics right-hander Joey Estes on Monday, a pitcher he's never faced in his career. After getting off to a slow start in 2024, Machado has picked things up at the plate and is hitting .333 (16-for-48) with a homer, four doubles, seven RBI, three steals and five runs scored in 15 games since May 22. Get him back in your fantasy lineups this week.
