- He played rehabilitation games last weekend for Double-A San Antonio and was present at Yankee Stadium Monday when the Padres opened a series against New York.
- Merrill began the season hitting.378 with 14 hits, 3 homers, and 10 RBIs through eight games, and Padres manager Mike Shildt said he is "on track for tomorrow."
- His return suggests the Padres will regain a key offensive and defensive player, potentially boosting the team's performance going forward.
