Diamondbacks' Owings to undergo shoulder surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings is expected to undergo surgery to repair the posterior labrum issue that sidelined him for more than two months this season, reports AZCentral.

The 23-year-old spent 69 days on the disabled list this season with discomfort in his left shoulder and struggled upon his return, hitting just .208/.256/.236 over his final 19 games.

Owings, the 41st overall selection in the 2009 draft, is expected to be ready for spring training.
