San Diego Padres slugger Manny Machado has a small fracture in his left hand and the team isn't sure if he will require a stint on the injured list.
Machado was hurt when he was hit by a pitch in Monday night's 4-0 win against the Kansas City Royals. Padres manager Bob Melvin said X-rays that night didn't show a fracture, but Machado had a CT scan and MRI on Tuesday that revealed a fractured metacarpal.
After a 4-3 loss to the Royals on Wednesday, the star third baseman was asked if going on the injured list is a possibility.The slumping Padres lost two of three to the last-place Royals and have dropped nine of 11 overall. “It's definitely a tough stretch for us," said Machado, who is hitting .231 with five homers and 19 RBIs."We definitely want to be out there and help this team win in whatever way. It's just a bummer. It's not ideal for us right now.”“The swelling's gone down tremendously. I definitely have more range of motion today.
