Stays hot Wednesday Longoria went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.

Impact All of a sudden, Longoria is red hot. He has multiple hits in four of his last six games, with three homers during that stretch. The third baseman has battled finger, shoulder and hamstring issues already this season, so he may require more days off than in past years, but he can still do damage when on the field.

Homers in consecutive contests Longoria went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.

Impact Longoria has homered in consecutive games and he's hit safely in six straight, going 8-for-21 (.381) during the streak. The third baseman tied the game at 1-1 in the second inning with his blast before adding a sac fly in the third for the Giants' fourth run. Longoria had another short burst of power in late May before suffering a minor shoulder injury, but it looks like he's back in a groove. He's batting .241 with an .801 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles through 122 plate appearances this year, and he should command a majority of the starts at the hot corner, though the 36-year-old is likely to get routine rest.

Reaches three times in loss Longoria went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Longoria struggled in the middle of June while battling a hamstring injury, but he's starting to gain some traction at the plate. He's gone 5-for-15 (.333) with a pair of walks, a double and three runs scored across his last four games. If he can stay healthy, the third baseman could get rolling. He's slashing .225/.307/.422 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles in 35 contests overall this year.

However, he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Royals while Wilmer Flores shifts to the hot corner with Tommy La Stella starting at first base.

Hitless in return Longoria (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Longoria started at designated hitter, but gave way to pinch hitter Tommy La Stella in the sixth inning. This was Longoria's first start since Friday as he battled a hamstring injury, and he may be eased back into action to avoid aggravating the issue. The third baseman is slashing .225/.287/.463 with five home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs scored through 87 plate appearances.

JUNE 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins lineup Tuesday Longoria (hamstring) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Longoria has been held out since Friday due to tightness in his left hamstring, but he'll rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The 36-year-old still made two appearances off the bench, so the injury never appeared to be a serious concern.
