The Diamondbacks announced Sunday they placed shortstop Chris Owings on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. The move is retroactive to June 26.

Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings will not play until he can visit with team doctors in Arizona, as he continues to deal with a sore left shoulder.

Owings told MLB.com the shoulder has not responded to treatment, and he will sit out Sunday's series finale in San Diego. He will travel to Arizona to be examined by a doctor, putting his status for the series beginning in Pittsburgh Tuesday up in the air as well.

The injury has been bothered Owings for more than a week, as he thinks he suffered it June 20 against the Giants. He has not played since Wednesday, and the injury has not gotten better with time off.

"It's been feeling better, but just taking swings it just kind of aggravates it a little bit," Owings said. "It's just not responding. I'm not really sure what happened."
