Owings was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a sore left shoulder. Owings was scratched for precautionary reasons, as the team has no incentive to chance him injuring himself with the postseason hopes well in the rear-view mirror. He will have a good chance to retain the everyday duties at second base in 2015 if he has a good spring training, but his 2014 season hasn't been ruled over yet either.
