Evan Longoria Dealing With Plantar Fasciitis
5 years agoSan Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that third baseman Evan Longoria (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis, but the hope is that he can return to the lineup for Game 2 of a doubleheader on Monday against the Rockies. The fading veteran is hitting just .239/.317/.446 with 13 home runs, 38 runs, 39 RBI and two steals in 276 at-bats, so this is just more bad news. Hopefully he can play through the ailment effectively, but we don't have much hope that his numbers will improve drastically the rest of the way. If Longo is forced to miss any extended time because of his foot injury, Pablo Sandoval would likely see most of the starts at the hot corner in San Fran.
