Manny Machado, born 6 July 1992 in Miami, Florida, is a Dominican-American third baseman for the San Diego Padres and one of the most durable stars of his generation. The son of Dominican parents Manuel and Rosa Machado, he was drafted third overall by the Baltimore Orioles in 2010 and debuted on 9 August 2012. He won Gold Glove Awards in 2013 and 2015, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2018, and signed with San Diego in 2019, later extending on an 11-year contract that runs through 2033. A seven-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger, he reached 2,000 career hits on 7 July 2025, becoming the fifth active player to the mark. Machado has represented the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic in 2017, 2023 and 2026, publicly grounding that choice in his Dominican parentage. Through the 2026 season he had 2,197 hits, 399 home runs and 1,235 RBIs, and he led the 2026 Padres with 30 home runs and 91 RBIs.

Notes

Staged 2026-10-16 under CTL-GOV-006 (Census Intake Wave 4 — 747 Program, Wave 10; 40-record packet). Gate A (2026-10-16): no Manny Machado entity in the live graph at 3,683 entities (exact / normalized / alias + token containment); ID CTL-E-5984 assigned at assembly. Supply: 747 Supply Ledger, Tier 3 — Famous Birthdays ABSENT census, readiness rank 1116 (Baseball Players list). The census supplied the NAME ONLY; no fact in this record is sourced to it (CTL-GOV-004). SCOPE GATE: PASS WITH GAP NAMED — Dominican-American third baseman; son of Dominican parents Manuel and Rosa Machado, with his own sourced statement of Dominican identity (ESPN, 2016), staged within CTL's Afro-Latino / Dominican diaspora scope. GAP NAMED: three search passes located no standard source applying the label Afro-Latino or Afro-Dominican to Machado individually; Dominican descent is documented, African descent is not separately documented for the subject in the sources found. Record is therefore staged Provisional pending a sourced Afro-Latino documentation or a founder scope ruling (precedent: Romeo Santos staged in Wave 3 under a founder diaspora-scope ruling). Vital status: LIVING — San Diego Padres third baseman in late-September and October 2026 lineups, leading the club with 30 home runs and 91 RBIs in 2026 (Sportradar; Wikipedia statistics through the 2026 season). STATISTICS (sourced, dated): Through the 2026 season: .274 career average, 2,197 hits, 399 home runs and 1,235 RBIs; 2,000th career hit on 7 July 2025 (Wikipedia; Yardbarker/AP) — accessed 2026-10-16. MEDIA: photo HELD (candidate: San Diego Padres / MLB press photography of Machado at Petco Park; no file page read at file-page level — CTL-PHOTO-001; CTL-created graphic is the standing alternative); chart FILLED (charts/chart-ctl-e-5984-manny-machado.svg); video HELD (Shorts Link Map checked — no matching CTL Short); audio HELD (no rights basis). Coordinator verification pass (2026-10-16): one additional targeted search for individual-level Afro-Latino / African-descent documentation was run at assembly for this record; no citable individual-level source was found, so the Provisional cap and the named gap stand, pending a sourced document or a founder scope ruling (precedent: Romeo Santos, Census Intake Wave 3). MEDIA LAYER (staged 2026-10-16; full per-asset PHOTO-001 records + embed specs in the packet's staged JSON, Drive packet folder): map = N/A (Person records carry no map slot under the media-layer rule; maps attach to places and institutions.) | visual_assets = HELD: | chart = FILLED (CTL-created SVG (black / deep red / gold) built only from this record's sourced facts) | video = HELD (No matching-entity CTL Short in the Shorts Link Map catalog (checked by name and variants), and no official/em) | audio = HELD (No CTL-owned or rights-cleared matching-entity audio at staging; the subject's own recordings/appearances are )
