San Diego Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill is out of the Padres lineup against the Giants on Monday after suffering an apparent left ankle injury in Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.
The Padres are coming off being swept by the Dodgers after having a chance to take the NL West lead. After winning five straight, including a three-game sweep over the Giants, the three losses to Los Angeles is a small setback for San Diego.
Jackson Merrill slugged his ninth home run of the season in the eighth inning to put the finishing touches on the Giants (59-61) defeat. San Diego improved to 68-52 and pulled into a tie with the Dodgers for first place in the NL West.
Xander Bogaerts had a home run taken off the board Monday night after a disputed fan-interference ruling -- a run that ultimately proved decisive in the Padres’ 4-3 series-opening loss to the Giants at Petco Park.
