Chris Owings Undergoes Surgery On His Thumb
3 years agoColorado Rockies infielder Chris Owings (thumb) underwent surgery to fix mallet finger on his left thumb on Friday, according to interim manager Mike Redmond, but the team doesn't have a timetable for his return. There's a good chance we won't see Owings on the field again at the major league level this season. The 29-year-old had a great .326/.420/.628 slash line with the Rockies, but it came in only 43 at-bats with a homer, five RBI and two stolen bases. There's no reason to hold onto him, even in NL-only leagues, especially without a firm timetable for a return. Expect Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon to continue sharing playing time in Colorado at the keystone.
