Chris Owings fractures finger, headed to Diamondbacks' DL
Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Chris Owings suffered a fractured middle finger as a result of being hit by a pitch in Sunday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was unable to provide a timetable, but Owings is expected to miss a significant amount of time, if not the remainder of the year. This puts two shortstops on the shelf for Arizona, as Nick Ahmed is already on the disabled list following hand surgery. Ketel Marte figures to see the majority of starts at shortstop moving forward.
Owings is slashing .268/.299/.442 with 12 home runs, 51 RBI, and 12 steals in 386 plate appearances (97 games) this season.
