Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings is not in Tuesday's starting lineup due to a shoulder issue, MLB.com reports.

Owings had been dealing with an ankle injury, but the ankle is good to go, while the shoulder issue is a result of a slide home against the Giants on Friday in his last game played. Owings has hit .282/.319/.466 with six home runs, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases in 234 at-bats.

Diamondbacks infielder Chris Owings was not in the team's starting lineup Tuesday.

Owings is still dealing with an ankle injury. He missed Sunday's game with the issue, but initially believed he would return to action Tuesday. Owings is hitting .282/.319/.466 over 234 at-bats.

Dodgers infielder Dee Gordon was not in the team's starting lineup Tuesday.

Gordon is receiving a normal day of rest, and is expected to return to the lineup in a day or two. He'll be replaced in the leadoff spot by Justin Turner. Gordon is hitting .277/.333/.393 over 285 at-bats.

Diamondbacks infielder Chris Owings was not in the lineup Sunday due to an ankle injury, according to the Arizona Republic.

Owings doesn't believe the issue is serious, and expects to return to the starting lineup Tuesday. He's hitting .282/.319/.466 over 234 at-bats. 

Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon cranked out four hits in his team's 6-1 win over the Rockies on Monday.

Gordon singled in the opening frame, tripled in a run in the third, reached on an infield single in the fourth and singled again in the sixth. He finished a perfect 4 for 4 with one walk and two runs scored. He is hitting .285 with two homers and 21 RBI in 263 at-bats.

Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon went 1 for 4 with a two-run home run in his team's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks Saturday.

Gordon was able to collect his second home run of the season in the third inning off Arizona starter Josh Collmenter. His other home run came all the way back on April 8. Gordon has hit .278/.324/.392 with 21 RBI and 36 stolen bases in 255 at-bats.

Chris Owings did drive one out of the park Thursday against Houston, but that was one bright light in a dark period for the Diamondbacks shortstop.

Owings is 2 for 22 since a tremendous series in Colorado in which he compiled seven hits and seven RBI.

That, however, has only served to weaken his stat line to a still-solid .269/.304/.442. Owings is also 6 for 6 in stolen base attempts.

Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford has been inching his way up the lineup with a fine recent run. He even batted fifth Wednesday night.

Crawford owns a seven-game hitting streak and a triple in each of the last two games. He is 10 for 24 during that stretch and his .255 average is at its highest point since May 14.

He is on pace to establish a career year with 18 home runs and 85 RBI. His .458 slugging percentage far exceeds what he has achieved in any previous season.

Padres infielder Ryan Jackson's season is in jeopardy after he underwent surgery on his injured right wrist Tuesday.

U-T San Diego reports he had surgery on the troublesome wrist, which has bothered him for much of the season. He was initially hoping to avoid going under the knife, but it proved to be a necessity after all. He is expected to be out until late August or early September, but the El Paso season ends Sept. 1. 

Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon returned to the lineup as expected Tuesday at Cincinnati after missing two straight starts due to a hip injury. Gordon, who pinch-hit Monday, is batting .300 (6 for 20) with two doubles, three runs, four RBI and two stolen bases in five June games.
