Injury Report
Forearm - 60-day DL. Out until at least late June (Updated - 5/20/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Owings is on the 60-day DL and can't return to the majors until late June. Owings was settling in as the Padres' long reliever before getting hurt. He will likely return to that role once healthy, but that gives Owings marginal Fantasy appeal. Leave him off rosters until further notice. (Updated 05/20/2012).
