Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a mallet finger of the left thumb.

EDGE Analysis

Owings last played Sunday, though it's not clear when or how the injury was suffered. The utility man will become eligible to be reinstated July 29, but it's possible he'll require additional time to recover. Connor Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move.

Owings went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in a 3-1 triumph over the Padres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Owings pinch hit for starter Jon Gray in the seventh and took Craig Stammen deep to give Colorado a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The utility man has now gone 3-for-his-last-5 following an 0-for-16 stretch over his previous 10 games and concludes the first half slashing .306/.405/.667, albeit in only 19 games.

Owings was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Owings began a rehab assignment last week and will rejoin the active roster after missing more than two months due to thumb surgery. He was 8-for-15 with three triples, three doubles, three RBI , two stolen bases and six runs in seven games prior to the injury, and he should fill a utility role for the Rockies. The 29-year-old is available off the bench for Tuesday's game at Seattle.

Owings (thumb) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Owings sprained his thumb in early April badly enough to require surgery and a trip to the 60-day injured list. Given the length of his absence, his rehab assignment probably won't be a short one, but it won't be too long before he's back on the big-league roster.

Manager Bud Black said Tuesday that Owings (thumb) has resumed playing catch and is "getting closer" to returning, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list April 10 and was later shifted to the 60-day IL on April 18 with a sprained left thumb. Given that the utility man is just now beginning to play catch again, it seems fair to reason that he's at least a couple of weeks from making his return to the major-league roster.

Owings had surgery on his thumb in Arizona and has returned to Denver where he is wearing a soft cast, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The surgery was considered successful, though Owings will have to rest for a substantial period of time. Assuming all goes well, he should be able to start taking ground balls in roughly 2-to-3 weeks.

Owings (thumb) will require a surgical procedure, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bud Black said Sunday that Owings is slated for surgery after he was transferred to the 60-day injured list. The utility man will be out until at least June and will need at least eight weeks to recover, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports. Prior to the injury, Owings went 8-for-15 with six extra-base hits, three RBI and two stolen bases in seven games.

The Rockies transferred Owings (thumb) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Owings was diagnosed with a sprained left thumb at the time he was placed on the 10-day IL on April 10, but the injury was apparently more severe than the club initially anticipated. He'll now be shut down until June as a result of the issue, making it tough to justify holding onto the 29-year-old utility man outside of NL-only leagues. Owings was off to a hot start prior to suffering the injury, as he produced six extra-base hits (three triples, three doubles) to go with two stolen bases in his first 17 plate appearances.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Sunday that X-rays on Owings' sprained left thumb returned negative, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Owings' thumb injury was still significant enough for him to land on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but the Rockies are seemingly hopeful he'll avoid a lengthy absence. Black said that Owings will still receive a precautionary MRI next weekend when the Rockies return to Denver.

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Owings has been dealing with a tight hamstring recently, but he's now also managing a thumb injury that will force him to miss at least 10 days. It's not yet clear when Owings will be able to return to action, but Alan Trejo's contract was selected by the Rockies in a corresponding move. Trejo will serve as a bench option with Owings and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined.
