The San Diego Padres kicked off their four-game series against the Colorado Rockies with a 2-0 win on Thursday. An early RBI single from Luis Arraez and a Jackson Merrill solo shot made the difference for the Friars, and brought them half a game closer to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division.

In other news, former Padres first baseman Anthony Rizzo announced his retirement from MLB on Wednesday, ending a decorated 14-year career. Rizzo played his first season with the Padres before landing with the Cubs, where he made three All-Star games and won a World Series.

Additionally, Padres manager Mike Shildt gave an update on shortstop Xander Bogaerts' injury, stating the All-Star can resume baseball operations and is going to be on a "day-to-day situation."

With Bogaerts' injury and a potential injury to replacement Jose Iglesias, right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. began practicing at the position in case he is needed.
