Machado likely to play short in Dodgers debut

Superstar slugger Manny Machado will be in the Dodgers' starting lineup Friday night as Los Angeles opens the second half of the season, according to general manager Farhan Zaidi. The Dodgers play the Brewers in the first of a three-game weekend series at Miller Park, with first pitch scheduled for 5:10 p.m. PT.

The newest Dodger -- acquired Wednesday in a blockbuster trade with the Orioles that sent five prospects to Baltimore, including three of the Dodgers' top 30 prospects per MLB Pipeline -- will reportedly wear No. 8 as he makes his Dodgers debut.
