Owings will see time on the outfield corners during spring training, The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Owings filled a void in center following an injury to A.J. Pollock in 2016. The Arizona Republic also reports that Owings could be an option to start in place of outfielder David Peralta against lefties while keeping 26-year-old Nick Ahmed in the lineup at shortstop. Owings hit .277 in 466 plate appearances across 119 games in 2017, also swiping 21 bases in 25 attempts. The 25-year-old has also appeared at second base during his time in Arizona, so it seems he could be in line to see opportunities in both the infield and outfield in 2017.
