Our Scott White is not pleased with the depth at the third base position this season, but he begrudgingly considers Manny Machado of the Orioles a worthy start in his Hit Parade column for Fantasy Week 5 (April 29-May 5).
Machado has been up and down in his second season, but is batting .327 over the last 13 games and has some decent matchups this week. The Orioles do not seem likely to face much in the way of high-end starting pitcher during matchups with the Angels and Mariners. Machado could remain hot and worth starting for the scoring period.
The depth at the position should be improving in the next few weeks with a handful of high-end options set to return. Until that happens, Machado is a decent low-end Fantasy option.
