Sitting versus southpaw Machin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Machin has an .810 OPS through 12 games in August and will take a seat Friday with lefty Marco Gonzales on the mound for Seattle. Sheldon Neuse will start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Hot hitting continues Machin went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact Machin authored the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics in an extension of what has arguably been his best stretch of hitting in the majors yet. The 28-year-old now boasts a .364 average and tiny 8.7 percent strikeout rate over his last seven games, a stretch during which he has only one extra-base hit, a double, but a trio of two-hit efforts.

Sits against left-hander Machin isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Impact Machin started the last seven games but will head to the bench Wednesday since left-hander Cole Ragans is starting for Texas. Sheldon Neuse is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-hit effort in loss Machin went 2-for-4 with two runs in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact The multi-hit effort extended a productive stretch of hitting for the 28-year-old, who now owns a .353 average (6-for-17) over his last six games. Machin has arguably been running into a bit of tough luck at the big-league level to date when putting the ball in play, as he was saddled with a .245 BABIP during his 2020 debut, a .182 figure in that category last season and a .200 mark this season until his current hot stretch.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling in second half Machin, who went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Giants on Sunday, owns just a .189/.295/.243 slash line over the 13 games he's appeared in since the Al...

Impact Machin has struck out at just a 15.9 percent clip and has drawn walks at a rate of 11.4 percent during that sample of 44 plate appearances, but a .226 BABIP has conspired to put a significant cap on his production. The 23-year-old has seen most of his action at third base during his month-plus stay with the Athletics, and offensive success continues to elude him whenever he not toiling for Triple-A Las Vegas in the hitter-friendly confines of the Pacific Coast League.

Yaz homers twice, Webb, Giants hold off A's 6-4

Mike Yastrzemski homered twice, Thairo Estrada also connected and the San Francisco Giants won their seventh consecutive interleague road game, 6-4 over the Oakland Athletics

AUGUST 7, 2022 • Associated Press

Sits again Sunday Machin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Machin will head to the bench for the second time in three games and could be in danger of losing the everyday role at third base to Jonah Bride. Since establishing a five-game hitting streak from July 10 through July 15, Machin has fallen into a 4-for-37 funk at the plate.

JULY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Friday Machin isn't starting Friday against the White Sox.

Impact Machin is getting a chance to reset after he went 0-for-10 with a walk and three strikeouts over the last three games. Jonah Bride will start at the hot corner while Seth Brown starts at first base.

JULY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Breather Sunday Machin is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Rangers.

Impact Machin will get a breather after he went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in the first two contests of the series. Sheldon Neuse will start at the hot corner and bat ninth against Texas.

A's benefit from Rangers' defense, win 3-1 for 3rd straight

Vimael Machin scored on first baseman Nathaniel Lowe’s fielding error to snap a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, and the Oakland Athletics held off the Texas Rangers 3-1

JULY 24, 2022 • Associated Press

On base thrice in win Machin went 1-for-3 with an RBI ground-rule double and two walks in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Operating out of the leadoff spot, Machin got the first run of the game on the board with his ground-rule two-bagger in the first inning that plated Skye Bolt. Machin has hit safely in each of the Athletics' first three games of the second half, but Friday's double was his first extra-base hit since a solo home run July 10 against the Astros.

JULY 13, 2022 • Associated Press

Continues hitting well Monday Machin went 2-for-5 with a run in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Impact The 28-year-old filled the leadoff spot and handled the hot corner Monday, posting his second straight two-hit game in the process. Machin got off to a forgettable 2-for-14 start over his first seven games after his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas. However, his last pair of performances offer some hope he can begin producing in a manner that at least approximates the strong body of work he put together with the Aviators over the first two-plus months of the minor-league season.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts first multi-hit game Machin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Astros.

Impact Machin recorded his first homer and first multi-hit game of the year, accounting for the Athletics' only run Sunday. He's hitting .222 with a 1:5 BB:K in eight games since he was brought up from Triple-A Las Vegas at the end of June. This was also his second career multi-hit game -- his only other one also came against the Astros in September of 2020. The 28-year-old has settled into a strong-side platoon role at third base, with Sheldon Neuse picking up most of the starts versus southpaws at the hot corner.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Saturday Machin isn't starting Saturday against the Astros.

Impact Machin started in the last two games and went 1-for-7 with two strikeouts but will take a seat with left-hander Framber Valdez on the mound Saturday. Sheldon Neuse will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets third start in five games Machin will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact He'll stick in the lineup for the third time in five games, with all of his starts coming against right-handed pitching over that stretch. Meanwhile, Sheldon Neuse has made the other two starts at third base when Oakland has faced left-handed pitchers, so the lefty-hitting Machin looks as though he'll fill the large side of a platoon at the hot corner while Jonah Bride (shoulder) remains on the injured list. Machin has thus far gone 1-for-7 with a walk since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Thursday.
