Manny Machado Returns Against Cardinals
3 years agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is back at third base and is hitting second on Monday against St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Packy Naughton. Machado had missed the team's last two games with tennis elbow, but he's back in the lineup to begin the new week. Fantasy managers need to get the 29-year-old superstar back into all lineups. Machado has been a front-runner for National League MVP honors early in the season with his .357/.438/.583 slash line, 1.021 OPS, eight home runs, 27 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven RBI in 168 at-bats. His .357 batting average, .438 on-base percentage and 199 OPS+ lead the league.
