Chris Owings likely to see time at second base

Diamondbacks rookie shortstop Chris Owings will likely see some playing time at second base over the remainder of the season, MLB.com reports. The team could be looking to see if Owings can function as a regular second baseman with the intention of having both he and Didi Gregorius on the field regularly in 2014.

"I've been taking ground balls over there," Owings told MLB.com Friday. "Whenever he decides to play me over there, I'll be ready."

Owings, a natural shortstop, played 11 games at second base in the minors this season.
