Owings, who is competing for the D-backs' starting job at second base this spring, is healthy at the outset of spring training, the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He started hitting in late December, and is reportedly feeling great now that he's more than a year removed from shoulder surgery. Owings altered the follow-through on his swing last season in order to relieve stress on his shoulder, but his results at the plate (.227 average, 144 strikeouts in 515 at-bats) left plenty to be desired. Brandon Drury and Phil Gosselin will be his primary competition for playing time at second base, while Owings could also be used to spell Jean Segura at shortstop as needed if he's able to regain his stroke at the plate. Prior to suffering the injury in June of 2014, Owings was hitting .280/.323/.444 -- a far cry from the numbers he's delivered in the time since.
