Jackson Merrill

SD Center Fielder #3

Jackson Merrill went 2-for-4 with a two-run triple on Wednesday, leading the Padres to a lopsided 8-2 win over the Pirates.

Merrill gave San Diego a commanding six-run advantage in the third inning by hooking a two-run double down the right-field line off Pirates starter Mitch Keller as part of yet another multi-hit performance. The 21-year-old rookie sensation has shown a flair for the dramatic this season with a barrage of clutch hits and he certainly looks like a potential franchise cornerstone, and five-category fantasy superstar, until further notice. He’s batting .288 (120-for-416) with 60 runs scored, 17 home runs, 66 RBI and 13 stolen bases through 118 contests.
Jake Cronenworth

SD First Baseman #9

Jake Cronenworth walloped a three-run homer on Wednesday in a win over the Pirates.

Cronenworth kicked off the scoridng with a tone-setting three-run tater off Pirates starter Mitch Keller in the opening frame. It was his 15th round-tripper of the season and also snapped a 20-game homerless drought. The 30-year-old’s multi-positional versatility is appealing for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues and he’s been a mainstay in the heart of San Diego’s lineup, which has helped from a counting stats perspective.
Martin Perez

SD Starting Pitcher #54

Martín Pérez struck out eight and yielded one run over 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a win over the Pirates.

Pérez was staked to an early eight-run cushion on Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park against his former organization, which enabled him to cruise to a relatively easy victory as a sixth-inning solo shot from Joey Bart represented the lone tally against him. He piled up eight strikeouts and only issued one walk. The 33-year-old journeyman southpaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three consecutive starts since being acquired by the Padres at last month’s trade deadline, posting a robust 2.08 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 13/2 K/BB ratio across 13 innings during that span. He’ll square off against the Twins on Tuesday in his next outing.
Michael King

SD Relief Pitcher #34

Michael King scattered seven hits over six innings and struck out 10 in the Padres’ 3-0 shutout of the Pirates on Tuesday.

He’s no Juan Soto, but King has certainly been everything the Padres could have hoped for after being picked up in the deal with the Yankees. This makes him 10-6 with a 3.19 ERA overall. He has a 2.54 ERA since the end of April.
Robert Suarez

SD Relief Pitcher #75

Robert Suarez protected a 3-0 lead in the ninth for his 27th save Tuesday against the Pirates.

Suarez had already pitched four of the last six days, including a 19-pitch save on Monday, so a day off tonight, especially with a three-run lead, might have been to the Padres’ long-term benefit. Mike Shildt had other plans, though, and both Suarez and Tanner Scott pitched for the fifth time in seven days. They both deserve Wednesday off now, but only Shildt knows if they’ll get it.
Luis Arraez

SD Second Baseman #4

Luis Arraez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a steal and two runs scored Tuesday against the Pirates.

The walk was Arraez’s first since July 24. Putting the ball in play even more than usual, he’s totaled 26 strikeouts and 18 walks in 508 plate appearances on the year. Add in the three homers, and only 9.3% of his plate appearances have ended in one of the three true outcomes.
Manny Machado

SD Third Baseman #13

Manny Machado is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Pirates.

Machado is back at the hot corner and batting cleanup after getting a rare day off during Monday’s series opener. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart is batting .276 (34-for-123) with eight homers and 23 RBI over his last 30 contests.
Joe Musgrove

SD Starting Pitcher #44

Joe Musgrove shut out the Pirates for 4 1/3 innings in his return from the IL, and the Padres went on to prevail 2-1 on Monday.

Musgrove’s velocity was up a bit from where it was prior to his elbow problems, so that’s good. He gave up eight hard-hit balls but just two hits, and while he settled for only one strikeout, hit 30 CSW% was fine. It definitely rates as a successful return.
Robert Suarez

SD Relief Pitcher #75

Robert Suarez escaped with his 26th save after allowing a run in the ninth Monday against the Pirates.

Andrew McCutchen plated the Pirates’ first run of the game with two outs in the ninth, and Bryan Reynolds followed with a scorching liner to right-center, but Jackson Merrill was able to chase it down and make a diving catch. Suarez and Tanner Scott have both worked four of the last six days, so the Padres might look to give them a break Tuesday and perhaps reserve Jason Adam if a save chance arises.
Joe Musgrove

SD Starting Pitcher #44

Padres activated RHP Joe Musgrove from the 60-day injured list.

Following a 2 1/2-month absence, Musgrove will make his return from an elbow injury against his former team, the Pirates, tonight.
