MIAMI -- Evan Longoria was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning of Thursday afternoon's game against the Marlins in Miami, and he was removed in the bottom half of the inning for precautionary measures.

Longoria was struck on the back of the left hand by a Dan Straily four-seam fastball, clocked by Statcast™ at 88.6 mph, to open the fourth. He remained in the game to run the bases, but he was erased on a double play that ended the top half of the frame. Longoria was replaced defensively in the bottom half by Alen Hanson.
