Evan Longoria On The Bench Monday
10 months agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is not in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener versus the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright. The veteran went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's series finale with the Reds but will take a seat on Monday. Longoria's bat has remained productive at the age of 37 as he has hit 11 home runs along with a .335 wOBA across 53 games. However, he also sports a .363 xwOBA which suggests he could see improved results moving forward. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at the hot corner Monday night, hitting sixth against Wainwright in Arizona.
