Evan Longoria Returns To The Starting Lineup Wednesday
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. It's the veteran's first game action since Saturday when he hit a solo home run for his third long ball over his last five games and fifth across his last 11 contests. Despite the recent power surge, Longoria has just one multi-hit effort since a two-hit effort on April 18. The 37-year-old is hitting just .216 but with eight homers and an impressive .289 isolated power in 32 contests while his .347 xwOBA is superior to his .321 wOBA. Considering his .283 ISO and .911 OPS against lefties this season, Longoria is a nice streaming option against Corbin.
