  • Taking seat Thursday
    Stanton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

    Advice: Stanton homered in the second and third games of the series but has bookended that with days off in the first and now the fourth games. Aaron Judge will get a day at designated hitter, with Trent Grisham patrolling center field. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Makes history with walk-off homer
    Merrill went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the A's.

    Advice: The rookie center fielder took Hogan Harris deep in the fifth inning, setting the stage for Merrill to play hero by ripping a slider from Mason Miller down the right-field line in the bottom of the ninth for his first career walk-off homer. In the process, Merrill become the youngest player in Padres history with a walk-off blast, and the youngest player in MLB history with a two-homer game that included a walk-off shot. The 21-year-old snapped a 26-game homer drought with the performance, but he's been heating up in June, batting .355 (11-for-31) over the last eight contests with four doubles, two steals, four RBI and five runs.
