Expected back in action Tuesday
Merrill (hamstring) has joined the Padres in New York for their series against the Yankees and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis
The expectation had been that Merrill would be activated Monday. While he's met up with the Padres after traveling to New York following his rehab assignment with Double-A San Antonio over the weekend, rainy conditions are expected in The Bronx on Monday night, so the team will wait an extra day to reinsert him into the lineup. Merrill has been shelved since early April with a right hamstring strain.

Trending toward Monday return
Merrill (hamstring) appears on track to return from the 10-day injured list Monday in the Padres' series opener versus the Yankees in New York, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis
Merrill hasn't played since April 6 while recovering from a right hamstring strain, but he recently resumed taking live at-bats at the Padres' spring facility in Arizona and has been cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A San Antonio on Saturday, per MLB.com. It's unclear if Merrill is scheduled to play for San Antonio both Saturday and Sunday or just Saturday, but assuming he makes it through the weekend without any setbacks, he'll join up with the Padres as their three-city road trip moves to New York. Merrill will supplant Tyler Wade as the Friars' primary center fielder once he's officially activated.

Closing in on return
Merrill (hamstring) could be activated from the IL during the Padres' upcoming road trip, Marty Caswell of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Analysis
Merrill recently began taking live at-bats at San Diego's spring complex, and manager Mike Shildt described him as being "towards the finish line" of his rehab, per MLB.com. Shildt also indicated that the second-year outfielder could return during the team's next road trip, which begins Friday in Pittsburgh and ends Sunday, May 11 in Colorado. It isn't yet clear whether Merrill will require a minor-league rehab stint before he's activated.
