Rockies' Chris Owings: Heads to IL with thumb injury

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a mallet finger of the left thumb.

Owings last played Sunday, though it's not clear when or how the injury was suffered. The utility man will become eligible to be reinstated July 29, but it's possible he'll require additional time to recover. Connor Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move.
