Jackson Merrill shows speed with triple, Padres fall to Rockies
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Aug 17th 7:29am EDT
Jackson Merrill went 2-for-4 with a triple in the Padres' 7-3 loss to the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Merrill's ability to hit safely twice, including a triple, adds a slight positive note to his performance. This season, Merrill has maintained a solid .290 batting average and his extra-base hits, including today's triple, contribute to his respectable .342 wOBA. While his lack of production in runs and RBI in this game might not excite fantasy managers, his consistent hitting and ability to add extra-base hits keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, particularly in deeper leagues or those that value middle infielders with a blend of power and speed.
