Machado was 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Orioles win over Tampa Bay on Friday night.
Machado now has a pair of home runs - both solo shots - but fantasy owners in leagues with minimal qualifying rules will be happy to hear he played the game at shortstop as Baltimore gave J.J. Hardy a night off. A potent bat by any definition, additional eligibility at a middle infield position will only enhance his value in fantasy circles.
