It was already bad enough that the San Diego Padres lost today’s series finale to the Kansas City Royals but more negative news came out of the clubhouse postgame. Manager Bob Melvin told the media that Manny Machado, who exited Monday’s game after getting hit in his left hand hand with a pitch, got a CAT scan and MRI that discovered a hairline fracture.
This news comes after Melvin said Monday night that Machado didn’t suffer any broken bones.
Melvin was hopeful Machado won’t have to end up on the Injured List but it appears that San Diego’s in wait and see mode.
