PHOENIX -- Just when he finally started to get his bat going, Evan Longoria has to take a seat. The third baseman tweaked his left ankle while standing in and tracking pitches during a Derek Holland bullpen session on Tuesday. Longoria was a late scratch from the lineup. Bruce Bochy said he might be down a couple of days.
Longoria dealt with this problem in spring training and missed about a week, although at the time he said it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal during the regular season. He has seven hits in his last 18 at-bats, with three doubles and a homer.
