Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Advice: Jose Acocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. At this point, Merrill should be considered day-to-day, but the Padres could offer more on his outlook following Thursday's contest.
