Owings spent the last couple months stationed at Triple-A Oklahoma City after signing a minor league deal with the Dodgers back in February. The 32-year-old veteran infielder wasn’t going to be part of Los Angeles’ roster down the stretch so he’s been cut loose to pursue other opportunities.

There’s no room for Owings on the Dodgers’ roster, but someone might grab him for a utility role if he keeps hitting like this; he’s at .333/.417/.571 in 29 plate appearances. The Yankees had him in their organization in the second half of 2022 and might want to consider bringing him back with Oswald Peraza absent.

The 32-year-old Owings appeared in just 11 big league games last season for the Pirates, hitting .160 with no extra base hits. He has just 187 MLB plate appearances over the last four years. Owings played 86 games in Triple-A last year, slashing .241/.349/.449 with 15 home runs and four steals. He figures to provide organizational depth across the infield for the Dodgers.

Owings has the ability to elect free agency, but might opt to stick around and wait for another shot in Pittsburgh. The versatile 31-year-old super utility specialist went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week.
