Eligible to return Tuesday Longoria (hand) is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list as early as Tuesday against the Brewers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Longoria was transferred from the COVID-19 injured list to the 10-day IL on Tuesday, but the Giants were able to backdate the move by three days. Although the 35-year-old will be eligible to return early next week, it's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy enough to rejoin the Giants during the team's homestand against Milwaukee.

Details about when he might return should become available in the next week or so.

Impact Longoria hasn't played since Wednesday because of lingering hand soreness, and he's been on the COVID-19 injured list since Sunday due to symptoms from a vaccine shot. The third baseman will remain inactive Tuesday, but it sounds like the club is expecting him to return within the next few days.

Heads to COVID-19 IL The Giants placed Longoria (hand) on the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday.

Impact A sore hand kept Longoria on the bench for the Giants' previous three games, but he'll be deactivated ahead of Sunday's series finale in Oakland while he recovers from a recent COVID-19 vaccine shot, per Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News. Even though Longoria should be feeling fine in the next day or two, the Giants could choose to stash him on the IL a little while longer in the event he's still experiencing pain in his hand.

Impact Longoria is out of the lineup for a second straight game Friday, and manager Gabe Kapler revealed that the third baseman is dealing with a hand issue. However, the injury doesn't appear to be serious, and the 35-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Gets Wednesday off Longoria is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Longoria and fellow veteran Buster Posey will both be extended breathers for the day game after both played in the first two contests of the series with New York.

Records three hits Longoria went 3-for-3 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Impact Longoria blasted his 10th homer of the season off Marcus Stroman in the seventh inning, but the veteran third baseman delivered a strong all-around offensive game and reached base in all three of his at-bats. The former Rays star has hit safely in three of his four games since returning from a lengthy spell on the injured list but has been seeing the ball well during most of the year. He has hit safely in all but one of his last 14 games -- dating back to May 22 -- and is hitting .432 with five homers and 14 RBI over that span.

Resting Sunday Longoria is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Manager Gabe Kapler noted that Longoria's shoulder is feeling fine after he returned from the 60-day injured list Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Giants' 4-1 loss. Longoria was making his first appearance with the Giants since June 5, so he'll be getting some extra maintenance for the day game after a night game as he works back to full speed. Wilmer Flores will cover third base in Longoria's stead.

Returns from injured list Longoria (shoulder) was activated off the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Longoria had an excellent start to his age-35 season, hitting .280/.376/.516 through his first 50 games. He then sprained his left shoulder in early June and wound up missing over two months. The Giants will hope he can recapture his early-season form for the stretch run, beginning Saturday against the Rockies, when he'll bat fifth and play third base. Thairo Estrada was optioned in a corresponding move.

Impact The Giants were hopeful that Longoria could be activated in time for Wednesday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, but he'll require some extra time to recover. However, the team doesn't plan to sent the 35-year-old back to Triple-A Sacramento to continue a rehab assignment, so his return to the active roster is imminent.
