Chris Owings is not in Tuesday's lineup due to a shoulder issue.
Owings missed a couple games over the weekend with what the D'Backs said was an ankle injury, but apparently his shoulder is now the issue. It doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, so consider the shortstop day-to-day.

Chris Owings went 3-for-4 with a double, triple, RBI and run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Brewers.
Arizona only took tonight's game in the three-game series, but Owings was hardly to blame, going 6-for-11 (.545) with three extra-base hits against Milwaukee pitching. The 22-year-old is easily hitting well enough to fend off Didi Gregorius at shortstop, slashing .283/.321/.465 with six homers and 20 RBI over 68 games.

Chris Owings went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Astros.
Owings contributed to his club's slow climb back into the ballgame, as his seventh-inning homer off of Scott Feldman cut the Astros' lead to 4-3. It was his sixth blast of the season. Owings has slumped recently, and he's now slashing .269/.308/.442 with 19 RBI and six stolen bases.

Chris Owings is not in Monday's lineup against the Astros.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has used a rotation between shortstop and second base since Didi Gregorius has come up from the minors, so Owings has sat in four out of the last eight games. It's a frustrating development for fantasy owners.

Chris Owings belted a solo homer in Sunday's win over the Mets.
Owings' blast two batters into the game got the scoring going, and the D'Backs eventually tallied the winning run in the ninth inning on an error. The rookie shortstop has moved up in the batting order of late, as he's hit second in each of the last six games. Owings' .267/.313/.413 batting line isn't anything special, but he's hit three homers and stolen six bases.
