Manny Machado's message to Dodgers fans makes it sound like he's leaving Los Angeles
The slugger didn't explicitly say goodbye, but it sure seems like he's moving on

Direct answer
- As of mid-April 2026, there were notable on-field items around Manny Machado and Jackie Robinson Day, including a report that Machado wore his usual No. 13 instead of 42 on that day, which drew attention due to the Robinson tribute tradition. However, this is based on a parody account and other outlets often report on various jersey-number matters in the event’s context; verify with official team notes for the exact game in question.[1]
Context and how to verify
- Jackie Robinson Day ceremonies often feature players wearing 42, but teams may allow players to wear non-42 numbers for individual circumstances or promotions, with official MLB/club statements providing the final word. For the most reliable latest status, check Padres official game notes, MLB.com recaps, and reputable outlets around the date in question (noting that some social posts may be parody or miscaptioned).[2][4][1]
Illustration of the issue
- Example: If a player typically wears 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson but opts for a different number in a given game, teams often issue a brief clarification or rely on in-game graphics to show the wearer’s number, which is why official sources are key for confirmation.[1]
