The Pittsburgh Pirates made a change in the infield on Monday prior to their game with the Colorado Rockies. They also made an announcement regarding tomorrow’s starting pitcher.
Infielder Chris Owings had been added to the 40-man roster and called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. He missed some brief time this year due to a minor injury, limiting him to 13 games so far. He’s hitting .278/.360/.523 over 50 plate appearances. Owings has played four positions for Indianapolis, though nine of his starts were at shortstop.
Owings has played parts of ten seasons in the majors.
