Orioles third baseman Manny Machado was struck by a line drive off the bat of Adam Jones during batting practice Tuesday before a game against Houston at Camden Yards, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Machado was hit in the left forearm just below the elbow and met with team trainers. Manager Buck Showater said later that Machado would remain in the lineup for the game. He did mention Machado could take a precautionary X-ray, just in case.
Batting .297 for the season, Machado has gone just 3 for 28 (.107) over his last seven games and is slumping for the Orioles.
