Jackson Merrill Drives in Three as Padres Top Cardinals
by Matthew Adam | Padres Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 5:42am EDT
Jackson Merrill played a key role in the Padres' 7-4 victory over the Cardinals, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not scoring or walking and striking out twice, Merrill's contributions were crucial in the win. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .290 batting average with 19 homers and 75 RBI over 128 games. His ability to add stolen bases, now totaling 14, provides an extra layer of value. Merrill's consistent hitting and knack for driving in runs make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward a blend of power and speed. His strikeout rate remains a concern, but his overall production should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.
