San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Manny Machado doubled and scored a run on Thursday in his return to the Padres’ lineup. Machado rejoined the Padres’ lineup for Thursday’s pivotal series opener against the Dodgers following a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He made an immediate impact, slicing a line-drive double to left field in the opening frame before coming around to score on Nomar Mazara’s RBI single. It was his lone hit in four at-bats. The 29-year-old third baseman has emerged as one of the early contenders for the National League MVP Award this season, hitting .327/.398/.545 with 49 runs scored, 12 homers, 46 RBI and seven steals in 289 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Justin Turner went 3-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI on Thursday, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Padres. Turner put the Dodgers on the scoreboard with a solo shot to left-center field in the second inning off Padres’ starter Joe Musgrove. He also delivered a tie-breaking two-run blast to right-center field against Musgrove in the seventh inning to record his first multi-homer performance of the 2022 campaign. The 37-year-old veteran slugger has just six round-trippers in 70 games this season.
