Astros' Dixon Machado: Signs minors deal with Houston
Dixon Machado signed a minor-league contract with the Houston Astros on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.Machado's deal includes an invitation to big-league camp. The 30-year-old has a strong defensive reputation but offers very little at the plate, hitting .226/.285/.292 in 177 career major-league games. He's unlikely to earn anything more than a bench role in Houston and would have minimal fantasy value even if he manages to secure a roster spot.

Giants' Dixon Machado: Gets fifth straight start
Dixon Machado will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Dodgers.Machado will pick up his fifth consecutive start, but it has more to do with the San Francisco Giants' lack of available alternatives at the position than a result of his performance. He's gone 2-for-12 with a walk and a run scored through his first four contests. The Giants are off Friday before returning to action Saturday in Oakland, where top shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) is expected to come off the injured list and rejoin the lineup. Machado will likely move to a bench role at that point, if he's not moved off the active roster entirely.
