Evan Longoria Playing Third Base Friday
10 months agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria will make the start at third base and hit sixth in the lineup on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios to kick off the second half of the season. Longoria and Emmanuel Rivera are currently locked into a platoon at the hot corner in the desert for the D-backs, but it will be the 37-year-old veteran getting the nod for the first game of the second half. Longoria can still provide a little thump for fantasy managers in deeper leagues, as he's hit 11 home runs in 139 at-bats this year, but he's hitting only .237 with 22 RBI and went hitless in his last five games before the All-Star break.
