Chris Owings out of Arizona's lineup against Washington

Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Chris Owings is not starting against the Washington Nationals on Friday night.

Owings is likely just getting a breather. He's slashing .283/.316/.464 with 12 homers, 50 RBI, and 12 steals in 360 plate appearances (89 games) this season. Brandon Drury is starting at second base and Ketel Marte is handling shortstop for the Diamondbacks.

numberFire's models project Owings to record a .281 batting average with 6 homers, 27 RBI, and 10 steals in 246 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
