Owings will start at shortstop and bat second in the order in the Diamondbacks' Opening Day game Sunday against the Giants, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a tough left-hander on the hill for the opposition in Madison Bumgarner, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo will stack his lineup with right-handed bats in the top three spots. Owings will occupy prime real estate between A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt on Sunday, but there's a chance that Lovullo could drop the shortstop in the lineup when the Diamondbacks face right-handed starters.
