Merrifield was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game at Yankee Stadium.
Scouting Report
Owns plenty of positional versatility (he can play both in the outfield and infield), which adds value to a big-league squad. Can steal bases and hit for average at all levels. Does not have a position to call his own, though he can play everyday at different positions without hurting his overall game. Lacks optimum home-run power. Gets caught stealing a bit too much.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile everyday player.
