Jackson Merrill shines in Padres' shutout victory
by Craig Castriano | Padres Correspondent | Mon, May 13th 8:24am EDT
Jackson Merrill went 3-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in the Padres' 4-0 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Merrill's growing role as a consistent contributor at the plate and on the bases for fantasy managers. His season batting average now sits at a respectable .282, and with today's game, he's shown he can be a multi-category asset, particularly in leagues that value stolen bases. While his power numbers are modest, his ability to get on base and score runs, combined with his speed, makes him a valuable commodity in deeper fantasy formats or as a middle infield option. His increasing stolen base tally, now at six, should keep him on the radar for fantasy managers looking for speed.
