Owings went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

All three of Owings' hits were singles, and he still owns a poor .367 slugging percentage on the season. Owings struck out again on Monday and has 14 in his 19 games this season; his 22.2 percent strikeout rate suggests he'll struggle to maintain his current .283 batting average.

Owings went 2-for-4 with two steals and a run in Thursday's win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

A middle infielder by trade, Owings has been playing center for the Diamondbacks thanks to A.J. Pollock's elbow injury, but the defensive stats haven't been very kind to him so far, so he needs to start doing some more with the bat and on the bases. With two-hit efforts in three of the last four games, he's showing some signs lately.

Owings is out of the lineup on Friday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Owings will remain on the bench for the second game in a row with right-hander James Shields on the mound for the Padres. Socrates Brito will take over in center and bat second in Owing's place.

Owings is out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Owings received the start Wednesday with lefty Alex Wood on the bump for Los Angeles, but he'll retreat to the bench with right-hander Ross Stripling starting Thursday. Socrates Brito will man center field and bat second in his stead.

Owings is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Socrates Brito got the start for the series opener Tuesday, but Owings will take his spot in center Wednesday with left-hander Alex Wood on the mound for the Dodgers. Owings will continue to see regular playing time in center field when the Diamondbacks face southpaws and is talented enough to get the lion's share of the playing time in center over Brito.

Owings is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Owings started the last two games and has started five of the Diamondbacks' seven games this season, but he will get the day off Tuesday with Socrates Brito starting in center field. The two will continue splitting the center field duties in Arizona moving forward.

Owings is back in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Owings was given the day off Friday against Chicago's Jason Hammel, but he'll return to center field Saturday and bat second versus Kyle Hendricks. Socrates Brito, who got the start Friday, will shift back to the bench.

Owings is starting in center field and hitting second Wednesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

This will be his second start in center field, with Socrates Brito getting his first start Tuesday. It is unclear exactly how the Diamondbacks intend to handle the rotation in center field this season, but Owings has the early upper hand on playing time. He is 2-for-6 with a RBI, two runs and two strikeouts so far this season.

Owings is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Owings received the Opening Day start with lefty Jorge De La Rosa on the bump for Colorado, but the utility man will head to the bench with right-hander Chad Bettis pitching Tuesday. Socrates Brito will take his place in center field.

Owings is starting in center field in Monday's season opener versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

After A.J. Pollock (elbow) went down, Owings was tested out in center field and apparently put together a good enough showing to get the start in center on Opening Day. It's unclear how frequently he'll appear there, but it could increase how frequently he gets into the lineup over the season and could be a nice boost to his value if he can appear enough to gain outfield position eligibility.
