Longoria out of lineup with sore left wrist

SEATTLE -- Add Evan Longoria to the list of dinged-up Rays. Fortunately for the Rays, the standout third baseman does not believe his sore left wrist is a major concern.

Longoria was not in the lineup Saturday night, but he was available for duty.

"My wrist has just been sore for a few days, so it's a good opportunity, with a tough right-hander on the mound, to get out of the lineup for a day," Longoria said.

Longoria could not pinpoint when he began to feel pain other than to deduce that, over time, the wrists of hitters get sore swinging at the ball.
