Padres\' Manny Machado Leaves Loss With Sprained Ankle 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jun 20, 2022 11:32 am

Manny Machado left the San Diego Padres\' 8-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies after injuring his left ankle while falling at first base trying to beat out an infield grounder.

Machado\'s leg appeared to turn awkwardly while he was running to first base in the top of the first inning.

He struggled to put weight on the ankle as he was helped off the field. Machado was later diagnosed with an ankle sprain after X-rays came back negative.

Ryan Flaherty said Machado was feeling \"OK,\" and that \"all in all, as good as it could be.\"

Machado is hitting .328/.400/.545 with 12 home runs in 253 at-bats this season.

Manny is really lucky! After watching the way that ankle turned I could have sworn he was done for the year. Glad it's just a sprain.
SELL THE TEAM, JIM!!! :curse:
