    • Not in Wednesday's lineup
      Merrill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

      Advice: The Rockies are sending southpaw Austin Gomber to the hill, so Padres manager Mike Shildt decided it would be a good day to give the left-handed-hitting Merrill a breather. Jose Azocar will patrol center field Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:24 am
       
    • Swipes another bag
      Merrill went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.

      Advice: Merrill struck out in his first two at-bats before reaching on a fielder's choice in the seventh inning and coming around to score soon thereafter. He added a single and stolen base in the eighth but was left stranded. Merrill has notched three thefts over his past three games and ranks second on San Diego with seven steals on the season.

    • Swats third homer
      Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to Colorado.

      Advice: Merrill was the only Padre with multiple hits in the contest, and his seventh-inning solo shot brought the team to within one run, though it turned out to be the final tally of the game. The rookie has notched consecutive multi-hit performances and has multiple hits in four of his past eight contests overall, so he could be back on the rise following an eight-game stretch from late April to early May during which he went 1-for-23 at the plate. Merrill still has a strong .291/.342/.403 slash line along with three homers, 17 RBI, 18 runs and six stolen bases on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:42 am
       
    • Impactful game in win
      Merrill went 3-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Merrill tallied at least three hits in a game for the fourth time this season and it was his 11th multi-hit game of his rookie campaign. Merrill hadn't swiped a bag since April 16 but managed to steal and eventually score in the fourth before taking another base in the eighth. He's settled in nicely thus far, slashing .282/.331/.374 with two homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs, six steals and a 10:23 BB:K in 143 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:00 pm
       
    • Three-run homer in loss
      Castellanos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Castellanos took Miami starter Braxton Garrett deep for a three-run shot in the top of the first inning, giving the Phillies an early 3-0 lead. The long ball was his fourth of the season and second homer in his last three contests. Castellanos has now secured at least one hit in eight consecutive games, batting .322 with two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 31 at-bats during that stretch.

    • Giants place Michael Conforto (hamstring) on IL
      Giants placed OF Michael Conforto on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: The 31-year-old slugger sustained the injury as he was rounding first base during Saturday’s game against the Reds. No word yet on how long exactly he’ll be sidelined for. Luis Matos was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move to provide depth in the Giants’ outfield while Conforto is shelved. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
      The Giants placed Conforto on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: After Conforto left in the fourth inning of Saturday's win against the Reds, the hope was that the right hamstring strain was mild enough for the 31-year-old to be considered day-to-day. The MRI on Sunday revealed a more severe strain, and Conforto will be sidelined until at least May 22. In a corresponding move, the Giants recalled Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacremento.

    • Michael Conforto (hamstring) remains out Sunday
      Michael Conforto (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.

      Advice: Conforto left Saturday’s game with a hamstring strain, and he’ll sit for at least one contest while recovering from the injury. The 31-year-old sits with Heliot Ramos getting a start in left field. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:08 am
       
    • Not starting Sunday
      Conforto (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Conforto left in the bottom of the fourth inning in Saturday's 5-1 win, and Giants manager Bob Melvin described the right hamstring strain as "mild," per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. With Conforto out of the lineup Sunday, Heliot Ramos will start in left field while Patrick Bailey serves as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:54 am
