Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings has been diagnosed with a bruised shoulder, MLB.com reports.

Owings is on the disabled list retroactive to June 26 with the shoulder injury. He should return around the All-Star break if his rehab progresses well. Owings has hit .277/.313/.458 with six home runs, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases in 238 at-bats.

The Diamondbacks announced Sunday they promoted infielder Nick Ahmed from Triple-A Reno after placing shortstop Chris Owings on the disabled list due to a shoulder injury.

The 2011 second-round draft pick hit .324 with a .390 on-base percentage, .431 slugging percentage and .822 OPS in 79 games for Reno. He had two home runs, three triples, 20 doubles, 36 RBI, 40 runs and 10 stolen bases as well.

The Diamondbacks announced Sunday they placed shortstop Chris Owings on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. The move is retroactive to June 26.

Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings will not play until he can visit with team doctors in Arizona, as he continues to deal with a sore left shoulder.

Owings told MLB.com the shoulder has not responded to treatment, and he will sit out Sunday's series finale in San Diego. He will travel to Arizona to be examined by a doctor, putting his status for the series beginning in Pittsburgh Tuesday up in the air as well.

The injury has been bothered Owings for more than a week, as he thinks he suffered it June 20 against the Giants. He has not played since Wednesday, and the injury has not gotten better with time off.

"It's been feeling better, but just taking swings it just kind of aggravates it a little bit," Owings said. "It's just not responding. I'm not really sure what happened."

Owings missed Friday's game while dealing with shoulder soreness, and he was unable to return to the lineup one day later. He remains day-to-day with the injury.

Owings was announced as a starter with the first lineup, but was a late scratch as a result of the injury. The team announced he is day to day shortly after. 

The Dodgers got a huge performance out of leadoff man Dee Gordon Wednesday, in a 5-4 win over the Royals.

Gordon reached base four times while going 4 for 5, and he scored twice. He had one triple and stole one base, though he was also caught stealing once in the win.

Gordon ha been slumping in his previous seven games, hitting just .190 in that span, though he did bookend the slump with four-hit games on each side. He is hitting .285/.340/.405 in 291 at-bats, while leading the majors with 40 stolen bases.

Owings, who had just recovered from an ankle injury, has had just one at-bat since Friday. He did not get a hit, thereby ending a six-game hitting streak.
