Chris Owings Stats

Colorado Rockies infielder Chris Owings (thumb) has had a pin inserted into his thumb and will not return to action this season, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Owings appeared in just 21 games this year, and was a decent option in deep formats as he slashed .326/.420/.628 with one home run, two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored. There's no reason he should remain rostered in any format.

Colorado 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.

The 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.
