San Diego Padres star third baseman Manny Machado departed Saturday’s game against the visiting Atlanta Braves due to right calf tightness.
Machado was injured while swinging at a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning. A trainer examined Machado, who attempted to stretch the calf. Machado stayed in the game and flew out to right.
Machado was replaced in the field by Jose Iglesias at the top of the fifth inning. It was Iglesias’ San Diego debut.
Machado was 0-for-2 before exiting and is 2-for-9 in three games.
The six-time All-Star is in his seventh season with the Padres. He has hit a franchise-record 167 homers, breaking the longstanding mark that Nate Colbert (163) held for 50-plus years.
