Manny Machado delivers in Padres' rout of D-backs

Manny Machado (3B,DH - SD)

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.
