San Diego Padres star Manny Machado left Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies after spraining his left ankle.
Machado slipped while stepping on first base after a first-inning groundout and immediately went down in obvious pain. He was helped off the field and replaced by Sergio Alcantara.
X-rays on his ankle came back negative.
The third baseman has been red hot to start the 2022 campaign, hitting .329 through 65 games, with 12 home runs and 46 RBI.
Machado is also coming off a strong 2021 campaign, producing a .278/.347/.489 slash line with 28 homers and 106 RBI.
