MLB star Manny Machado risks punishment after being caught on camera making obscene gesture to fan in the stands
The Padres went to LA last month for a four-game series, losing all but one game to their California rivals.
And as seen in a video which spread last weekend, Machado lost his cool at one point as he gave the middle finger to a fan.
In the clip, which was originally posted by the TikTok account @skyy.herrera, Machado pretended as if he was going to throw a ball to a Dodger fan - before making the gesture instead.
The clip, which appears to be from the Padres' 4-3 loss to the Dodgers on June 18, then shows Machado being struck out at the plate by Emmet Sheehan.
The video has nearly 14,000 likes on TikTok but was re-posted to X by the popular Jomboy Media account on Saturday, where it has received over 950,000 views and counting.
Machado has had a strong year for the Padres as he's hitting .293 with 13 home runs
Machado went 0-4 in the game, though he's having a strong season for the Padres.
In 356 plate appearances so far, he's hitting .293 with 13 home runs and 47 RBI.
The 32-year-old is in his seventh season with the Padres, who are 45-39 on the year.
They'll take on the Phillies in a doubleheader on Wednesday.

Guardians place OF Lane Thomas (foot) on injured list
July 6 - Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas returned to the 10-day injured list on Sunday because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The move, retroactive to Saturday, came after Thomas exited the 2-1 home loss to the Detroit Tigers after five innings on Friday and sat out the 1-0 setback to the Tigers the following day due to the injury. The Guardians have lost nine consecutive games. In a corresponding move, the Guardians recalled rookie infielder Will Wilson from Triple-A Columbus. Wilson, who turns 27 on July 21, batted .176 (9-for-51) in 24 games after making his major league debut in April. He hit .308 with eight home runs and 24 RBIs in 36 games with Columbus. Thomas, 29, also was on the IL for the same ailment from May 30 to June 9. He went on the list in April because of a bruised right wrist. Thomas injured his wrist when he was hit by a Shane Smith pitch in the fifth inning of the Guardians' home opener on April 8 against the Chicago White Sox. Thomas is batting .160 (20-for-125) with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 39 games this season. He is a career .242 hitter with 76 homers and 254 home runs in 600 regular-season games for the St. Louis Cardinals (2019-21), Washington Nationals (2021-24) and Guardians. Thomas hit two homers and drove in nine runs while batting .222 (8-for-36) in 10 postseason games with Cleveland in 2024. --Field Level Media

Milestone hunter Djokovic set for De Minaur test
July 6 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic's quest for an elusive 25th Grand Slam faces a major hurdle as the 38-year-old Serbian runs into in-form Alex de Minaur in the last 16, while Iga Swiatek faces Clara Tauson who stunned former champion Elena Rybakina in the third round. TOP MEN'S MATCH: ALEX DE MINAUR V NOVAK DJOKOVIC Djokovic joined Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova in an elite list of players who have won 100 matches at Wimbledon when he eased past Serbian compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-0 6-4 in the previous round. While he can also equal Federer's mark of eight titles at the All England Club, the milestone that is driving Djokovic is a 25th major to take him past Margaret Court. It is a record that has eluded him since he won the 2023 U.S. Open and he will look to build momentum and achieve the feat at Wimbledon, which he says is his favourite tournament. But Djokovic faces an opponent who is coming into Monday's match with unfinished business as Australian De Minaur, who had to pull out of their Wimbledon quarter-final last year with a hip injury, is relishing the chance to finally meet the Serbian on grass. 'It's funny how life works ... here we are a year later and I get my opportunity and chance again," De Minaur, 26, told Australia's Stan Sport after Saturday's win. "He's going to be very difficult to beat ... I'm going to have to go after it." De Minaur, who has won only one of his three meetings with Djokovic, said he was up for the task ahead. "You want to be beating the best players in the world ... I see it as the ultimate challenge in this sport, and I'm ready," he added. TOP WOMEN'S MATCH: IGA SWIATEK V CLARA TAUSON Five-times Grand Slam winner Swiatek has yet to replicate her stellar claycourt dominance on grass, but the former world number one said she had found a level of comfort at this year's Wimbledon that she had not felt before. The 24-year-old barely missed a beat as she brushed aside Danielle Collins 6-2 6-3 in the third round, a rarity for the Pole who has never won a WTA title on grass. "I was in the zone," Swiatek said after Saturday's victory. "I had practices where the ball was listening to me. Today was a good day and it is a new experience feeling good on this surface." However, Swiatek's Wimbledon campaigns have often been derailed by rising contenders. In 2023, she lost in the quarter-finals to wildcard Elina Svitolina. Last year, she was upset by unseeded Yulia Putintseva in the third round. Tauson, who defeated last year's semi-finalist Elena Rybakina in the third round, may fancy her chances of becoming the latest opponent to derail Swiatek's Wimbledon dream as the Danish 22-year-old enjoys her best year on the circuit yet. "Before the grass season started, I'd never won a match on grass," Tauson said after beating Rybakina. "But I played some of my best tennis." Seventh seed Mirra Andreeva has enough reasons to feel confident after she dismantled Hailey Baptiste in straight sets to reach the last 16. "With every match I play I feel my level is rising," Andreeva said after Saturday's win. The 18-year-old has emerged as a dark horse for the women's title after winning her first two WTA 1000 trophies this year, notably beating Aryna Sabalenka to clinch the Indian Wells Open in March. Andreeva has yet to drop a set as she faces 10th seed Emma Navarro, who knocked out defending champion Barbora Krejcikova in the third round. However, for Navarro, the win came with an asterisk as Krejcikova was visibly struggling with injury as she lost the match after winning the first set. "Neither of us played our best tennis," Navarro said. A win over Andreeva would be the best way for the American, who reached the quarter-finals last year, to announce herself as one of the major contenders for the title. WIMBLEDON ORDER OF PLAY ON MONDAY (prefix number denotes seeding) Centre Court (Play begins at 1230 GMT) 11-Alex de Minaur (Australia) v 6-Novak Djokovic (Serbia) 7-Mirra Andreeva (Russia) v 10-Emma Navarro (U.S.) 1-Jannik Sinner (Italy) v 19-Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria) Court Number One (Play begins at 1200 GMT) 18-Ekaterina Alexandrova (Russia) v Belinda Bencic (Switzerland) 10-Ben Shelton (U.S.) v Lorenzo Sonego (Italy) 8-Iga Swiatek (Poland) v 23-Clara Tauson (Denmark) Court Number Two (Play begins at 1000 GMT) Marin Cilic (Croatia) v 22-Flavio Cobolli (Italy) 19-Liudmila Samsonova (Russia) v Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (Spain)
