  06/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Machado (quadricep) went 2-for-9 with a run scored in two games since being reinstated from Triple-A Sugar Land's 7-day injured list Thursday. Machado had been sidelined since early in spring training due to the right quad injury before he was finally cleared to debut for the Triple-A club last week. The 32-year-old infielder hit .286/.500/.357 over four rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League prior to being activated by Sugar Land.

  Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Machado has a Grade 2 quadriceps strain and could miss the remainder of camp, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Machado sustained the quadriceps injury in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins. He received a non-roster invitation to spring training and this setback likely derails any slim chances he had of making the Opening Day roster. Machado played 74 games with Triple-A Sugar Land in 2023 and slashed .230/.369/.356 with seven home runs and 33 RBI over 293 plate appearances.

  03/28/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Astros reassigned Machado to minor-league camp Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Machado spent almost all of last season in Triple-A, where he slashed .291/.372/.390 over 522 plate appearances. He had a solid spring as well and could contribute off the bench for Houston if he continues to succeed in the minors, but he would have to be added to the 40-man roster first.
