Jackson Merrill went 3-for-4 in the Padres' win over the Marlins with a triple, a home run, one run scored, two RBI, and two stolen bases.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Merrill's growing role as a multifaceted contributor in fantasy leagues, especially given his ability to blend power with speed. His season batting average now sits at a healthy .294, indicating consistent offensive production. Fantasy managers should note his balanced skill set, which includes 16 homers and 13 steals over 113 games, making him a valuable asset in both rotisserie and points formats. His low walk rate and relatively high strikeout rate are areas for potential concern, but his overall contributions across multiple categories help mitigate those issues.
