Padres notes: Hoping Friday is Darvish's last regular-season start; Dixon gets first look

Yu Darvish will start Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox. The Padres are hoping it will be his last regular-season start. Bob Melvin wants to line up the rotation for a wild-card playoff game on the road against Giants.  

Brandon Dixon will start in the seven-hole for the Padres against Andrew Heaney. It's Dixon's first start since 2020 with the Tigers. Wil Myers and Josh Bell will be on the bench. Dixon hit 23 homer in Triple-A and had a .374/.442/.823 batting line against left-handers.
