What happened: Helton appeared with his family as Colorado held the statue ceremony Saturday. Fans packed the area for the unveiling.

By the numbers: The Rockies entered the weekend after another Padres series loss, and the Dodgers and Padres are 42-10 against Colorado since 2025.
What to watch: Colorado is scheduled to return to the field later Saturday against Seattle in Denver.
