PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona says infielder Chris Owings will have shoulder surgery.

The Diamondbacks said in a news release Wednesday that the decision was made after Owings received a second opinion and surgery on the posterior labrum will be performed by Dr. James Andrews on Thursday.

Arizona said Owings will be ready for spring training in February.
