Longoria goes on DL with left hand fracture

MIAMI -- Evan Longoria fractured the fifth metacarpal in his left hand when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning of Thursday afternoon's 6-3, 16-inning win over the Marlins. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday, with RHP Pierce Johnson called up from Triple-A Sacramento as the corresponding move.

"It was a pretty traditional break," Longoria said after the game. "It's unfortunate. We're just going to wait and see what the plan is. I don't know if we're going to have surgery or not. Obviously, they're looking for the best solution right now.
