To IL with hamstring injury Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a strained hamstring, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact He exited a game last week with left hamstring tightness, and has since appeared in several games, but it sounds like he made the injury worse, despite going 2-for-4 in Wednesday's game. Brendan Rodgers was recalled and will start at second base Thursday against the Astros.
