After hitting from the leadoff position in each of the last three games, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado will slide down to the No. 5 spot in the order on Wednesday against the Mets. Machado had just two hits in 12 at-bats from the top of manager Buck Showalter's lineup, though one of those hits was a home run.
Alejandro De Aza was listed as the team's leadoff hitter on Wednesday.
