Longoria is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria had started four of the team's last five games and has a three-game hitting streak. However, he'll hit the bench Saturday, with Kyle Lewis entering the lineup while hitting second and serving as the designated hitter.

Longoria started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria started for the fourth time in the last five games and has experienced an uptick in playing time since Arizona demoted Josh Rojas to Triple-A Reno. For a time, it looked like Emmanuel Rivera moved ahead of him on the depth chart, but the 37-year-old Longoria has been one of the team's hottest hitters of late, posting a 1.178 OPS since June 12.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria isn't seeing consistent playing time, but he's swatted six of his 11 homers this year over his last 13 games. In that span, he's gone 12-for-39 (.308) with 13 RBI, three doubles and a 6:10 BB:K. The veteran third baseman remains stuck in a part-time role, though he continues to make the most of his opportunities. He's up to a passable .244/.301/.569 slash line across 40 contests this season.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-5 loss against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria is on a four-game hit streak and is slashing .320/.379/.800 in the month of June. That's the good news; the bad news is he's started just six of 21 games during the month. The longtime veteran is on pace to hit his most homers in a season since 2019, when he launched 20 as a member of the Giants. The demotion of Josh Rojas to Triple-A Reno benefits Longoria, but the Diamondbacks have mostly rolled with Emmanuel Rivera (.316 average, .372 BABIP) at third base. Additionally, the return of Alek Thomas from Reno crowds the outfield, which has moved Lourdes Gurriel to the primary DH spot.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and then gave Arizona some cushion in the sixth with a three-run home run. It was the seventh home run in the last 19 games for the 37-year-old veteran, who's slugging like a rookie again. For the season, Longoria is slugging .538, which would rank 12th in MLB if he qualified. And therein lies the issue for Longoria -- playing time. He has just 116 plate appearances over the team's 66 games.

Longoria went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria notched a pair of run-scoring doubles. He finished off the scoring in the Diamondbacks' three-run first inning then extended the lead to 4-2 in the seventh. The part-time role appears to suit the 37-year-old, who is normally in the starting nine against left-handers. Fourteen of his 23 hits are extra-base knocks, leading to a .295 ISO.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria got Arizona on the board in the fifth inning with a blast off Spencer Strider. This was Longoria's fifth homer over his last 11 games, but that span dates back to May 9 as he remains in a part-time role. The veteran is batting just .216 on the year, but he's added a .505 slugging percentage, eight homers, four doubles, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored through 104 plate appearances.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria's first-inning home run provided all the cushion starter Zac Gallen would need. It was the veteran third baseman's seventh homer in 92 at-bats. Longoria's part-time role -- starts at 3B or DH against lefties -- puts a cap on what he can offer fantasy managers.

Longoria went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria extended Arizona's lead to 5-0 with a two-run, 422-foot shot off Ranger Suarez in the third inning. It's Longoria's sixth homer of the year and his third in his last seven games. Still, the 37-year-old veteran doesn't offer much in the way of fantasy value at this point while filling in the short side of a platoon. He's now slashing .221/.269/.477 with 13 runs scored and 10 RBI through 93 plate appearances.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-5 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Longoria got the start against a righty and made manager Torey Lovullo look smart when he snuck a ball just inside the left-field foul pole for his fifth homer of the season and second this week. Playing mostly against lefties, the 37-year-old Longoria hasn't been able to get into a groove at the dish and is batting just .227 (17-for-75). On a positive note, eight of his 17 hits are extra-base knocks.
