Evan Longoria On The Bench Monday
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is not in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener versus the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright. The veteran went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's series finale with the Reds but will take a seat on Monday. Longoria's bat has remained productive at the age of 37 as he has hit 11 home runs along with a .335 wOBA across 53 games. However, he also sports a .363 xwOBA which suggests he could see improved results moving forward. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner Monday night, hitting sixth against Wainwright in Arizona.
