Donovan Solano gets start at third base for Padres for Manny Machado, who came out of Thursday's pinch-hit appearance 'fine'
Manny Machado shot his shot on Thursday. He’s out of the lineup a second day in a row due to a mild upper hip flexor and Padres manager Mike Shildt acknowledged it might be harder to get him into Friday’s game as long as head athletic trainer Mark Rogow is in the dugout. “He wasn’t available; I think Rogow was going to tackle him,” Shildt said before Friday’s 6:40 p.m. first pitch. “Rightfully so as part of his job. That was a decision that and I made.
” Donovan Solano took Machado’s place as the third baseman in Friday’s lineup and will bat fifth between second baseman Jake Cronenworth and David Peralta getting his second straight start at DH. Luis Campusano is also back in the lineup behind the plate as Kyle Higashioka started Thursday with Randy Vásquez and will be behind the plate on Saturday with Matt Waldron.
