Padres standout 3B Manny Machado (calf) exits vs. Braves

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado left the game against the Atlanta Braves in San Diego due to right calf tightness.
The injury occurred after Machado swung at a pitch from Spencer Schwellenbach during a fourth-inning at-bat.
After fouling off a pitch and hobbling out of the batter's box, Machado was checked by a trainer but finished his at-bat, flying out to right field.
Manager Mike Shildt removed Machado from the game as a precaution, with Machado stating, "Shildty did the right thing there, just taking me out...It was precautionary stuff...It was maybe keeping it from being something worse."
Machado was replaced by Jose Iglesias in the top of the fifth, and his status is day-to-day, with the possibility of returning for Sunday's series finale, although Iglesias could take over at third if Machado misses further time.
