Rockies Place Chris Owings On Injured List
3 years agoThe Colorado Rockies placed infielder/outfielder Chris Owings (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a mallet finger of the left thumb and recalled infielder/outfielder Connor Joe from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. It sounds as if Owings may be out longer than the 10 days, but there isn't exactly a firm timetable for how long he might be sidelined. Owings has been solid in just 50 plate appearances for the Rockies this year, going 14-for-43 (.326) with one home run, five RBI and two stolen bases. Joe will provide versatility off the bench but is unlikely to see enough at-bats to even be worth much of a look in the short term in NL-only affairs.
