The Indianapolis Indians announced prior to Wednesday’s afternoon game that infielder Chris Owings has been placed on the 7-day Injured List. The move was made retroactive to April 18th.
Owings was likely at the top of the Pittsburgh Pirates early season depth chart if they needed a middle infielder. That’s especially true with Mark Mathias already getting called up to the majors. Owings has played parts of ten seasons in the majors, posting a career .240/.287/.366 slash line in 712 games.
Owings has mostly played shortstop for Indianapolis during the early stages of the 2023 campaign. He’s also made one start each at second base, third base and center field.
