I thought the same, but AZ law says that if a Senate seat is vacated, the Governor, currently Dem, will appoint a replacement to fullfil the rest of the term. So, good news, the seat will not be up for grabs.
Not so good news, the appointed will have incumbency advantage and more than likely never be seriously primaried.

Oh, well thank you for that info. I wasn’t aware of that AZ law, but ya… incumbency counts.
