## Resource

Manny Machado’s offensive slump is hitting a new low, but his leadership and durability keep the Padres afloat—despite a brutal slump hitting just .188, he’s still powering the lineup with 18 homers and 51 RBIs, and he’s back in the lineup after a minor shin scare turned out to be a scheduled day off. With the All-Star break looming, it’s the perfect time for Machado and the Padres to reset and reignite their playoff push.
