Owings is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Descalso and Ketel Marte will man the middle-infield positions as Owings sits for the second time in four games. With a .137/.154/.196 line and 15 strikeouts since the break, Owings seems to be undoing some of the goodwill he built up with his strong first half, but it's hard to imagine he will lose his role entirely.

Owings is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's tilt with the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Owings, is mired in a horrendous slump to begin the second half of the season, going just 6-for-43 over 11 games, so he'll head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale. His replacement, Ketel Marte, isn't hitting much better this season with a .196 average, so don't expect too much of a drop off in playing time despite the recent struggles.

Owings went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Owings has gotten off to an anemic start to the second half, tallying just six hits in 43 at-bats. Though the extended slump hasn't resulted in Owings losing out on regular playing time, he'll likely need to turn the corner before long or risk losing starts to backup shortstop Ketel Marte.

Owings is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Owings receives his first day off since June 27 as Ketel Marte draws the start at shortstop during Friday's series opener. Throughout the course of the 2017 season, Owings is hitting .283/.316/.464 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI. He will likely return to the lineup Saturday as the club faces Tanner Roark.

Owings went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Thursday's 12-2 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

In a game in which manager Torey Lovullo gave multiple key regulars the afternoon off, it was two of the Diamondbacks' lineup mainstays -- Owings and Paul Goldschmidt (0-for-5, four strikeouts) -- that were the only starters who failed to reach base. Owings' hitless showing came on the heels of an 0-for-5 effort the night before, but the lack of production over the last two contests won't jeopardize his everyday role. The 25-year-old continues to uphold a career-best .780 OPS, and Owings' ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots helps his case for sticking in the lineup over other regulars in instances where Lovullo wants to give his bench options some at-bats.

Owings went 2-for-3 with two runs and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Owings also reached base a third time when he was hit by a pitch for the first time all season. The shortstop may have missed out on All-Star nod, but he still remains in the midst of the best season of his career. His .294 average is 17 points better than his previous career best, and his 12 home runs nearly match his total (15) from the past three seasons combined.

Owings went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

After producing at least one hit in all but one of his 19 appearances from June 10 to July 4, Owings has turned in back-to-back hitless efforts, going 0-for-8 with six strikeouts. There's no reason for Owings' fantasy owners to panic given the brevity of the slump, but manager Torey Lovullo could look to give the 25-year-old a day off in one game of the Diamondbacks' three-game set with the Reds to close out the first half.

Owings went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Sunday's win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Owings had flashed signs through his first few tours of the majors, but he's put it all together in 2017 with a .297/.332/.507 slash line, 12 bombs, 49 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 37 runs. He's recently settled into the five-hole of the lineup behind Paul Goldschmidt and Jake Lamb, which projects favorably moving forward. However, it wouldn't be shocking if he struggled to maintain his current career-best pace.

Owings went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The doubles were Owings' 19th and 20th of the season, putting him seven shy of matching the career-best mark he established in 2015. Owings' increased power has helped fuel his breakout season, and fortunately for fantasy owners, it hasn't resulted in him sacrificing productivity on the basepaths. He's gone 11-for-13 on stolen-base attempts, putting him on track for his second straight 20-steal campaign.

Owings is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite riding a 12-game hitting streak, Owings will head to the bench for what appears to be a regular day of rest. Nick Ahmed will take over at shortstop in his absence.
