Owings went 2-for-7 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Owings helped Arizona prevail in 12 innings, doubling home a run in the fourth and smacking a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth. The 25-year-old hasn't shown great power with four homers and 24 doubles this season, but he's flashed more pop lately with a dozen extra-base hits over his last 19 games. He's slashing .284/.325/.433 in 388 at-bats.

Owings is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Owings is hitting a sizzling .385 (15-for-39) through nine games this month, but manager Chip Hale decided it was time to give him what will be just his second day off since July 30. Jean Segura will get the start at shortstop in Owings' place, and Brandon Drury will take Segura's spot at second base.

Owings finished 4-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop singled in each of his at-bats, matching a career-high four hits, including an RBI single in the second inning which gave Arizona a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Owings has stolen 15 bases this season -- he was caught stealing for the first time on Saturday -- and owns a .285/.332/.412 line in 323 at-bats.

Owings is out of the lineup Saturday in San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Phil Gosselin will start at the keystone Saturday with Jean Segura sliding over to play shortstop. Owings has been in the lineup almost every day of late, and it is a little surprising to see him sit with a lefty on the mound, however it appears to be just a standard day off.

Owings went 3-for-5, falling just a home run shy of the cycle, in Thursday's 9-0 drudging of the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Owings big day included a bases-loaded triple in the sixth, pushing his RBI total to 26 on the season. Over his past four games, the 24-year-old is 9-for-17 with three doubles, two triples, four RBI, four runs and two stolen bases. Owings would appear to be fully healed from the plantar fasciitis that landed him on the DL for most of June and July.

Owings went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-inning win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Owings, who played primarily in center earlier this season, is getting regular playing time at shortstop with Nick Ahmed on the DL. He's not an elite option by any means, but Owings offers a solid batting average and a little speed, which puts him on the fantasy radar.

Owings is out of the lineup Thursday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
He has been seeing everyday at-bats since Nick Ahmed (hip) landed on the DL, but he will take a seat Thursday as Jean Segura gets the start at shortstop and Phil Gosselin gets the nod at the keystone. Still just 24 years old, Owings is a sneaky middle infield option in deeper formats, as he offers a middling batting average (.264) with some speed (nine steals).

Owings is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Owings will get the day off as the Diamondbacks put Jean Segura at shortstop and Phil Gosselin at second base for the series opener against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old is 1-for-9 through his first two games back after missing the previous 37 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, so it appears Arizona will try to slowly ease him back into action.

Owings (plantar fasciitis) was reinstated from the 15-day DL on Saturday and is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
He will take the place of Nick Ahmed on the active roster after Ahmed placed on the 15-day DL with a right hip impingement. Owings figures to handle the shortstop duties while Ahmed is out, and he will hope to pick up where he left off prior to the injury. Still just 24 years old, Owings' .759 OPS is the best mark of his career. He has rewarded those who did not completely give up on him after he turned in a sub-replacement level season in 2015.

Owings (foot) began a rehab assignment Wednesday with the Diamondbacks' Rookie League squad.
EDGE Analysis
Owings has played in two games since returning to game action and is 1-for-5 with two runs scored. It's not clear if he will come off the disabled list for the Diamondbacks' first game out of the All-Star break Friday night, but he should not be sidelined much longer.
