MANNY MACHADO NEWS

Clubs first homer Machado went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two total runs scored and two total RBI in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact Machado entered the contest having gone hitless through his first seven at-bats of the campaign, but he struck quickly Saturday with a solo home run in the first inning and later drove in another run with a single in the fourth. The veteran third baseman is coming off a third-place finish in NL MVP voting last season and should have plenty of opportunities for production in 2021 in the heart of a loaded Padres lineup.

Hopes to see more clearly in 2021 Machado underwent laser eye surgery in the offseason, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Judging by Machado's .304/.370/.580 slash line last season, the veteran didn't exactly struggle to pick up pitches, though he noted that his vision wasn't 100 percent during night games in recent campaigns. Machado's .310 batting average under the lights last season was actually better than his .288 mark during day games, so the effects of the surgery are likely to be minimal for the career .280 hitter.
