PEORIA, Ariz. —
Gabriel Arias played two games at second base at high Single-A Lake Elsinore, 10 games at third base and 104 at shortstop. The Padres certainly don’t expect to need the 19-year-old Venezuelan there anytime soon, but they also aren’t in a hurry to move Arias off Fernando Tatis Jr.’s position.
