Padres remain optimistic Manny Machado will avoid a trip to the injured list; Wil Myers jogs on the field; Adrian Morejon to the injured list to make room for Joe Musgrove
Melvin was speaking with reporters in the home dugout at Petco Park as Machado progressed through some modified jogging in right field — forwards and backwards — and speaking with trainers throughout the session. The intensity never approached even 50 percent, but he also played catch before stopping to visit with a young fan who’d won a Sports Illustrated for Kids drawing contest.
Asked how he felt on the field, Machado smiled just as he had earlier — “No comment” — leaving his manager to provide some context as the third baseman attempts to avoid a trip to the injured list. For the record, little brother didn’t come away emptyhanded as Austin Nola gifted Aaron a picture of him walking back to the dugout after Joe Musgrove struck him out, not to mention plenty of good-natured jabs from himself and Jake Cronenworth as the trio worked out together this offseason.
Aaron Nola will start Friday’s game against the Padres with the Nola family again in town for the series.
