Owings, who last season made 27 starts out of the Diamondbacks' rotation and posted a 4.30 ERA, could find his way onto the field, perhaps at first base.
"It's potentially, depending on how our roster looks, an option," manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday during a Q&A session with reporters.
If he pulls this off, he becomes my favorite player. There's a case that he should be at least the first bat off the bench and occasional first baseman/DH in interleague games while he's not pitching.
