Owings went 2-for-4 driving in and scoring a run with two doubles Thursday against the White Sox. Owings remains in a tight competition for the starting shortstop job with Nick Ahmed. The 23-year-old had a solid rookie season batting .261/.300/.406 with 6 homeruns and 8 steals, but it was marred by a shoulder injury that required off-season surgery from which he is still recovering. He played 18 games at second base last year and a shift across the diamond is also a possibility, but veteran Aaron Hill is entrenched there. The final decision about who starts at shortstop is down to the wire with Arizona's opener coming up on Monday.
