Orioles third baseman Manny Machado was not in the field for his rehab debut at Class A Frederick Friday, but he showed that he isn't at all rusty at the plate.
With wet field conditions thanks to a rain delay, Machado was limited to designated hitting duties in his first game action since offseason knee surgery. He went 3 for 4 at the plate with two runs, a double and a triple in the game.
Machado will likely remain at Frederick through the weekend, and will likely play in the field at some point, if weather permits, before moving up a level.
