Manager Chip Hale said Friday that Owings, Nick Ahmed and Jean Segura will rotate around between second base and shortstop to start the season, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Dave Stewart had previously expressed some reluctance to rotate the three players between the two middle-infield spots, but the team will go that route to begin the year. Segura is expected to see everyday at-bats, so Owings and Ahmed, both right-handed hitters, will probably play only on a part-time basis.
