Padres knuckleballer Matt Waldron getting a rematch with Diamondbacks team that handed him worst start of his career last month
Manny Machado is out the lineup a third straight day with a mild right hip flexor strain, but he played catch and hit on the field before Saturday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, further stoking the Padres’ confidence in their belief that their third baseman will avoid the injured list. “Haven’t ruled it out, but I don’t feel like we’re trending that way,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said before Saturday’s 5:40 p.m. first pitch.
“It's a complete balancing act, man,” Shildt said. “ God bless the medical people because you got a soft tissue thing and it's like, alright, we need to figure out if you can go ahead in a major league game and compete and do all the things that are required and all the movements, but you don't want to aggravate it by testing it to see if you can do it. “It’s just time is required, but they're really good at what they do.
