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

Jackson Merrill is out of the lineup a day after left ankle discomfort forced him from the game, paving the way for switch-hitter Bryce Johnson’s first start since before the trade deadline. Monday’s first pitch is at 6:40 p.m.

The Padres entered their weekend series at Dodger Stadium in unfamiliar territory at this juncture of a season -- in first place. They had overturned a nine-game deficit and rode a five-game winning streak into Los Angeles.
