The San Francisco Giants have an approximate timeline for Evan Longoria’s return: mid-May.
A day after the Giants third baseman underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament on his finger, which will need to be immobilized until Opening Day, manager Gabe Kapler said the expectation is that the three-time All-Star will be sidelined for six weeks.
The Giants have plenty of options to use in Longoria’s absence, with roster locks Wilmer Flores and Tommy La Stella capable of handling the position, and roster hopefuls Mauricio Dubón, Thairo Estrada, Jason Vosler, Jason Krizan, and Luke Williams also able to take on those duties.
