Rookie Jackson Merrill held out a second straight game with right groin tightness as Padres start three-game series against Philadelphia Phillies
Jackson Merrill stopped briefly at his locker Friday afternoon. Long enough to hastily throw on his shoes, grab a bat and defer any and all questions about his right groin tightness to Padres manager Mike Shildt. The agitation was clear and a stark contrast to a smiling Manny Machado holding court moments earlier on the other side of the clubhouse as a proud new father and, for the first time this season, a fully functional third baseman.
“I’m so happy he’s kind of pounding the table to be in there,” Shildt said. “ … Give me a guy that wants to be on the field, wants to compete. I’ll deal with all the fallout from that every day.” Shildt added: “I love the fact that it looks likes like we’re getting this behind us, but I want to make sure it’s behind us because I don’t want to look up and do something that’s not smart and prudent and have a guy out that’s a big part of our club for an extended period of time.
