Padres Rally with Machado DH | San Diego Padres News

Padres close out a crucial road trip in Miami with a strategic lineup tweak: Manny Machado DHs while Xander Bogaerts gets his first day off since July, replaced by Sung-Mun Song at shortstop.

Walker Buehler takes the mound against a struggling Janson Junk, while Tatis Jr. returns to lead off. Can they seal the deal and keep their postseason dreams alive?
