Owings (shoulder) may not be ready for the start of spring training but is expected to be 100 percent for Opening Day, Jack Magruder of FOXSportsArizona reports.
A head-first slide into home plate in June resulted in a labrum injury to Owings' left shoulder, one which required surgery to repair at the conclusion of the season. Owings hit .277/.313/.458 with six homers and seven steals in 238 at-bats before being forced out of action, and the Diamondbacks' trade of Didi Gregorius suggests they plan to deploy Owings as the starter at short next season, health permitting.
