Jackson Merrill Beginning to Play Catch
Jackson Merrill (concussion) played catch on the field prior to Friday's matchup with the Royals. The 22-year-old was placed on the 7-day injured list on Sunday after getting hit in the head with a hard tag on a stolen base attempt. It's not clear if he'll be ready to return once eligible, but the Padres and fantasy managers alike will welcome him back with open arms. Despite missing time earlier this year due to a hamstring injury, the former first-rounder has been highly productive when on the field, registering a .304/.349/.474 slash line with five home runs, a .355 wOBA, and a 131 wRC+ through 44 games played.
