SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Two days before the 2016 season opener, D-backs center fielder A.J. Pollock fractured his elbow sliding into home plate.
The trade of Ender Inciarte during the offseason combined with Pollock's injury left the D-backs with just Socrates Brito to play center, so the D-backs asked shortstop Chris Owings to play some there.
Owings, though, had not played the outfield since he was just a boy, so he didn't have an outfielder's glove.
"A.J. gave me his glove to use," Owings said.
After using it for a bit, Owings was suddenly struck by something.
