Owings is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Giants. Owings will head to the bench after six straight starts, opening the door for Aaron Hill to slot back in at second base. The Diamondbacks seem intent on getting a good, long look at both Owings and Didi Gregorius in the middle infield over the final weeks of the season.

Owings is not in the lineup Tuesday. He was activated from the disabled list Tuesday after a lengthy absence with a shoulder injury, but the Diamondbacks will wait at least a day to get him back in the lineup. Didi Gregorius will get the start at shortstop, but the Diamondbacks will likely look to return Owings to the everyday role in the coming days.

Owings (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday. Owings was placed on the disabled list in late June, and will finally make his way back to the roster for the September expansion. The team has two other options at shortstop in Didi Gregorious and Cliff Pennington, but Owings should receive a good chunk of starts.

Owings (shoulder) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Friday. As expected, Owings will jump to Reno after three games with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level affiliate. He could supplant Didi Gregorius as the top option at short as soon as next week, though there's an outside the chance the team leaves him down until Sept. 1.

Owings (shoulder) began his rehab assignment with the complex league team in Arizona on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with two steals. He will eventually progress to Triple-A Reno on Friday, before presumably being activated from the DL an rejoining the Diamondbacks in late-August/early-September.

Owings (shoulder) will play in the Arizona League Diamondbacks before he heads to Triple-A Reno on Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Owings is hoping to make a return to Arizona before the year ends, although he'll need to avoid any setbacks while making his way back. As of now, he's on track to join the Diamondbacks early in September.

Owings (shoulder) will face live pitching for the first time since suffereing a shoulder strain in late June, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Owings played pretty well for the Diamondbacks this season before suffering the shoulder strain, batting .277/.313/.458 over 72 games with seven stolen bases and six home runs over the span. After live batting, Owings will need to participate in some rehab games before returning to the big league roster.

Manager Kirk Gibson said Owings (shoulder) is unlikely to return until September, Jack Magruder of FOXSportsArizona.com reports. Owings has begun taking batting practice and seemed to be on pace to return from the DL next weekend, but the Diamondbacks will take it slow with his recovery process. Look for Owings to make appearances in several rehab games across multiple levels over the next two weeks, allowing the Diamondbacks to get a longer look at Didi Gregorius as their everyday shortstop.
