Padres' Manny Machado Leaves Game; Reason Unclear
Padres manager Craig Stammen said Machado was removed as a precaution after awkward lower-half movements, and the team will evaluate him Tuesday.
- On Monday, San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado exited the game against the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park after the sixth inning as a precautionary measure due to left leg discomfort.
- Before his departure, Machado was in the midst of a strong offensive performance, tallying three hits—including his 400th career double—and scoring three runs during the contest.
- Padres manager Craig Stammen downplayed the injury after the win, stating, "He's fine," while noting the team removed the All-Star after he felt awkward leaving the batter's box and experienced discomfort during slides.
- Following the exit, Ty France shifted from first base to third base to cover the position, while Gavin Sheets entered the lineup at first base to take the cleanup spot.
- Should the third baseman require a stint on the injured list, infielder Sung-Mun Song remains a potential option for the big league roster.
