Merrill (concussion) played catch ahead of Friday's game against the Royals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Merrill attempted to steal second base in the seventh inning but was tagged in the head area. He stayed on the ground for a considerable amount of time before walking off the field with trainers.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Heading to concussion IL
The Padres are expected to place Merrill on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The 22-year-old suffered the head injury Saturday when he was tagged in the head on an attempted steal, and he'll be unavailable for at least the next week as he enters the concussion protocol. Brandon Lockridge will start in center field Sunday and should see a boost in playing time, along with Tyler Wade, while Merrill is sidelined.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Move to IL official
The Padres placed Merrill (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday.
Merrill will be out for at least the next week after he was diagnosed with the concussion upon taking a hard tag to the head in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks. The Padres called up first baseman/outfielder Trenton Brooks from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move, but Tyler Wade and Brandon Lockridge are the most likely candidates to fill in for Merrill in center field in the short term. A return date for Merrill should begin to come into focus once he makes enough progress in his recovery from the concussion to resume baseball activities.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Three hits in return from illness
Merrill (illness) went 3-for-4 with an RBI triple and two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.
Merrill missed one back while under the weather, but it shouldn't be an issue moving forward. In his return to the lineup, he delivered his fifth straight multi-hit effort since a month-long absence with a hamstring injury. The last three of those games have featured three or more hits each. In other words, he hasn't lost any momentum after a blistering start to the season prior to his stay on the injured list. He's batting .467 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, four doubles, one triple and a stolen base across 65 plate appearances.

Tyler Wade will enter the lineup in center field after Merrill had started four straight games following his return from the injured list Tuesday. The 22-year-old has avoided any setbacks with the strained right hamstring that kept him on the shelf for a month, but he'll have to shake off this illness ahead of the Padres' series opener Monday against the Angels.

Padres' Jackson Merrill: Activated Tuesday
The Padres reinstated Merrill (hamstring) from the injured list Tuesday.
After spending nearly a month on the injured list due to a strained right hamstring, Merrill will rejoin the active roster and reclaim his role as San Diego's everyday center fielder. The 22-year-old went 2-for-6 with a walk and two runs scored during his two-game rehab assignment at Double-A San Antonio, and he'd been slashing .378/.415/.676 in the majors before getting injured.
