Evan Longoria - Receives cortisone shot Longoria received a cortisone shot Tuesday to address his hand soreness and is tentatively scheduled to resume hitting within the next two days, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco... Impact Longoria has been out since Aug. 18 with the hand issue. He attempted to hit high-velocity pitching last week, but had to stop after experiencing too much pain in his right index finger. The hope is that the cortisone shot will help the discomfort subside and allow the third baseman to resume taking swings. If Longoria's able to ramp up his baseball activities substantially in the coming days, he could have a chance of being activated without going on a rehab assignment.
