Manny Machado entered tonight hitting .356 with a .964 OPS in his last 13 games. So of course he gets hurt because, well, that’s what seems to happen to Padres players this year when they start to play better.
Xander Bogaerts was hitting .320 in seven games before hurting his shoulder in Atlanta. Joe Musgrove went six innings in his most encouraging start of the year before landing on the IL the first time. Now he’s on the IL again with elbow inflammation. Yu Darvish pitched 24 scoreless innings before two rocky outings that preceded him going on the shelf (hamstring).
