Impact The 29-year-old made his impact felt prior to the injury, going 3-for-3 with a triple, two doubles, one run and two RBI. Owings should be considered day-to-day until more is know on the injury.

CHRIS OWINGS SECOND BASEMAN - NO TEAM
SECOND BASEMAN - NO TEAM
Leaves with leg soreness Owings exited Wednesday's game versus Arizona with right leg soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Reaches base twice Sunday Owings went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact With the Rockies facing another southpaw Sunday, Owings was back in the lineup at second base. He was able to do some damage out of the leadoff position, reaching base multiple times and scoring once. If Owings can consistently find ways to get on base he may get more opportunities to face right-handed pitchers.

Fills box score Owings went 3-for-3 with one triple, one walk, two stolen bases and three runs scored Thursday against the Dodgers.
Impact Owings got the opportunity to start at second base with a southpaw on the mound, pushing Garrett Hampson to the outfield and Sam Hilliard and Ryan McMahon to the bench. He put together an impressive performance based on his ability to get on base and aggressive baserunning. When the Rockies are facing righties on the mound, Owings doesn't figure to have a regular spot in the order, though his playing time is worth monitoring -- particularly when the team is at Coors Field.

To IL with hamstring injury Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a strained hamstring, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
Impact He exited a game last week with left hamstring tightness, and has since appeared in several games, but it sounds like he made the injury worse, despite going 2-for-4 in Wednesday's game. Brendan Rodgers was recalled and will start at second base Thursday against the Astros.

Playing time on rise Owings will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Mariners, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact The Rockies have faced a slew of left-handed pitchers lately, which has allowed Owings to at least temporarily emerge as a fixture in the lineup. He'll start for the seventh time in nine games, with the versatile Owings having manned five different positions over that stretch. Owings is slashing a respectable .296/.367/.444 across 30 plate appearances this season.
