Outfielder Jackson Merrill was reinstated to the San Diego Padres' active roster on Monday after his third stint on the injured list this season.
Merrill was available to play Monday night, but not in the starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles for the first of a three-game set in San Diego.
Merrill, 22, was placed on the IL on August 23 with a sprained left ankle, with the move retroactive to August 20. He last played on August 17 in a 5-4 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The second-year pro also spent time on the 10-day IL in early April (strained right hamstring) and on the 7-day IL in mid-June (concussion).
After a brilliant rookie season when he hit .292, bashed 24 home runs and drove in 90 runs, Merrill has had a quieter 2025 with a .261 batting average, nine homers and 51 RBIs.
Padres manager Mike Shildt had to revise the lineup tonight as right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. was a late scratch with 'lower half tightness.' Bryce Johnson got the start in center and Ramon Laureano started in right.
The Padres also recalled right-handed reliever Sean Reynolds (0-1, 5.55 ERA) from Triple-A El Paso. The second-year pro has pitched in 18 games for the Padres in 2025 and allowed 15 earned runs in 24 1/3 innings.
