San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has been diagnosed with a small fracture in his left hand after being hit by a pitch during Monday's 4-0 win over the Kansas City Royals.
"So the initial X-ray didn't show anything. He had a CT scan and an MRI yesterday that showed a small fracture on the metacarpal," Melvin told reporters Wednesday. "We don't think it's an IL situation but we're going to probably go through the off-day, see how he feels and see where we are on the weekend."
Machado has missed San Diego's last two games.
