Jackson Merrill Could Land on 10-Day Injured List
Jackson Merrill (ankle) was out of the lineup for the third straight game on Wednesday as a result of a left-ankle strain. Merrill suffered the injury last Friday and has been out of commission since he left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers early. While the Padres have avoided placing him on the 10-day injured list, manager Mike Shildt said Wednesday that "there is some bone bruising, which can take a while to heal." With that in mind, Merrill's status for the Padres' series against the Dodgers this weekend "appears questionable," according to Dennis Lin of The Athletic. If that's the case, the team may have to put him on the IL. Should Merrill go on the shelf on Thursday, the Padres would be able to backdate it to Aug. 18. The club should have an update on his status before Thursday's series finale against the San Francisco Giants.
