Orioles' Manny Machado: Plays shortstop Tuesday

Machado started at shortstop Tuesday and the Orioles are taking it one day at a time at the position while J.J. Hardy is on the DL, MASN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Machado is already one of the best players in the game no matter where he plays on the field. That said, his normal third base position is rather deep, with Josh Donaldson, Nolan Arenado and Kris Bryant at the fantasy position. If Machado earns shortstop eligibility, the flexibility could be very nice for his owners. Machado has logged five games at shortstop so far. Ryan Flaherty started at third base Tuesday and Machado figures to have a green light at shortstop unless he starts to make errors.
