Owings was o-for-4 with two strikeouts Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to the Giants. He is 0-for-7 with three strikeouts to start the year and he may be struggling with a mechanical change he made in spring training to take stress of his surgically repaired shoulder. It's just two games and you need to be patient with Owings coming back from a shoulder injury. That said, if he is indeed fighting a mechanical issue it could take some time to set or it could indicate the shoulder is bothering him. Aaron Hill could see some at-bats in place of Owings if he shows signs of either being the case.
