Owings is starting in right field and batting second Wednesday against the Giants, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.
The Diamondbacks are showcasing what could be their go-to configuration against lefties, as they take on Matt Moore at home. The righty-hitting Owings, who hit seventh Tuesday against right-hander Johnny Cueto, moves into a more favorable spot in the order against the southpaw, with David Peralta hitting the pine and Nick Ahmed getting the start at shortstop. Owings has a career .244/.284/.381 slash line against lefties, but the Diamondbacks still have faith in the 25-year-old developing into at least an average hitter against opposite-handed pitching.
