Merrill Returns: Padres’ Spark vs. Dodgers?

Big news for Friar Faithful! After a rough stretch and falling behind the Dodgers, the Padres just reinstated Jackson Merrill from concussion protocol. Merrill, aka the rookie phenom, was sorely missed after that wild tag from Ketel Marte last week. With the bats slumping, his .304 average and clutch presence could be the boost we need to chase LA in the NL West. Can Merrill’s return reignite the rivalry and get us back in the Wild Card hunt? Let’s hear your takes! #Padres #JacksonMerrill #BeatLA #Sports #Baseball
