The San Diego Padres released a veteran, a pitcher doesn't like facing the Dodgers and the latest on Jackson Merrill's injury.

An injury timeline for San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill is revealed shortly after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

San Diego Padres centerfielder Jackson Merrill is questionable for tonight's series opener against the San Francisco Giants. Merrill, who struck out twice in Sunday's 5-4 loss against the Dodgers, exited the game due to a left ankle injury. After rolling his ankle during a play on Friday, Merrill decided to "play through" the injury.
