Owings was placed on unconditional release waivers Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Owings spent the first two months of the season on the active roster, but he did very little with his limited opportunities, hitting .107/.254/.143 in 68 trips to the plate. His career 69 wRC+ means he'll likely be looking for a minor-league deal on the open market.
