Baltimore Orioles 3B Manny Machado (illness) returned to the lineup Thursday, July 21, hitting third.

Fantasy Tip: Machado has a so-so .294-1-7 line in 34 career at-bats against CC Sabathia. He's a high-end DFS option.

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles 3B Manny Machado (illness) is dealing with a stomach virus and is out of the starting lineup Wednesday, July 20.

Fantasy Tip: Chris Davis has missed the last three games with an illness, too, and it looks like Machado has the bug now. He could be out a few days, as well, so plan accordingly. Machado is a must-start All-Star third baseman in all formats, but he's hitting only .172 (10-for-58) with a homer and four RBI this month. He'll surely snap out of this funk eventually.

Baltimore Orioles 3B Manny Machado is not in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 20. INF Ryan Flaherty is starting at third base and batting eighth against New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: It's been a slow July for Machado, as he's gone just 10-for-58 (.172 batting average) at the dish with only five runs, a home run, four RBI and a .476 OPS. Expect a bounce-back run and not more of the same going forward, though. Machado is a must-start hitter in all fantasy formats. Flaherty has very little fantasy upside given his career .363 slugging percentage.

Baltimore Orioles 3B Manny Machado, OF Mark Trumbo and 2B Jonathan Schoop combined to go 0-for-11 with a walk and three strikeouts Tuesday, July 19, against the New York Yankees.

Fantasy Tip: Needless to say, the Orioles were bombed by the Yankees Tuesday. Despite the hitless games from the triumvirate, each remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats and in DFS play regardless of salary.

Fantasy Tip: Machado has been on a tear, and is worth using in DFS most every night regardless of price tag until he starts to cool off significantly.

Baltimore Orioles SS Manny Machado went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, June 25, against the Tampa Bay Rays. Machado has registered multi-hit efforts in five straight and eight of his last 11 contests.

Fantasy Tip: Owners already know how great Machado is, but it says something about a player when he can return from a four-game suspension and pick right back up where he left off. He's a top-five option at shortstop and third base in most fantasy leagues, so make sure he's on your lineup card every time he's in manager Buck Showalter's.
