Owings is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

Analysis:

The slumping Owings will give way to Aaron Hill after going 0-for-5 with a walk and two stolen bases in the first two games of the series. Since Owings is still only in his age-23 season, the Diamondbacks will likely continue to give him the bulk of the starts at second base moving forward, as Hill has generally failed to get much going offensively during the recent opportunities he's received.
