Longoria went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria came up a triple shy of the cycle, but he hasn't hit a three-bagger since 2020, so he was never much of a threat for the feat. The homer was Longoria's second in his last six games and his fourth of the season. The 37-year-old raised his slash line to .229/.276/.443 with seven RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles through 76 plate appearances this season. He continues to be a short-side platoon option at third base and designated hitter.

Longoria went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 12-4 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria finally broke out of his slump, hitting his first home run since April 7 while also receiving his first walk since April 14. In his last six appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, Longoria was 1-for-20 (.050) at the plate without a single run scored. Considering his struggles with the bat, his minuscule role platooning with Josh Rojas and the ascension of Emmanuel Rivera, it's difficult to see Longoria etching out a fantasy-relevant role this season.

Longoria started at designated hitter and went 0-for-5 in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria has just one hit over the late 21 at-bats, lowering his season average to .208. He could be in danger of losing plate appearances to Emmanuel Rivera, who started at third base and had three hits Saturday.

Longoria went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria had not played the previous three games before being used as a pinch hitter and finishing out the final two innings at third base Saturday. Josh Rojas usually starts at the hot corner against right-handers, leaving Longoria on the short side of a platoon. That's likely the outlook for the 37-year-old Longoria, who's had fewer than 300 plate appearances the last two full seasons.

Longoria went 3-for-3 with a double, homer and two runs scored in Friday's victory over the Dodgers. He also walked.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria continues to rake in the early part of the season, and the veteran tied the game at 3-3 with a solo blast off Clayton Kershaw in the sixth. In his first year with the Diamondbacks the third baseman has gone deep twice over his first five contests while slashing an impressive .427/.467/1.000 in 14 at-bats.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting Sunday, Longoria was back in the starting lineup Monday and smacked his first home run as a Diamondback. The veteran has struggled with injuries, playing less than 90 games in three straight seasons (all with San Francisco), but if he can stay on the field, he figures to see plenty of plate appearances with his new squad.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria is 1-for-7 with a double and a run scored through the first three games of the season and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Los Angeles. Josh Rojas will step in at the hot corner and bat leadoff for Arizona.

Longoria isn't in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria will take a seat Friday after starting the season with an 0-for-3 performance Thursday. Josh Rojas will take over in the hot corner and bat in the leadoff spot.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's spring game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was the first of the spring for Longoria and just his second hit. The third baseman is 2-for-18 (.111) over eight Cactus League games. He's expected to serve as the Diamondbacks' primary third baseman to start the season, although remaining healthy could be an issue for the 37-year-old, who hasn't played more than 89 games since 2019.

Longoria (illness) returned to camp Saturday after missing time with strep throat, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria is the leading candidate to start at third base. He's perceived as a better glove than last year's primary starter at the hot corner, Josh Rojas, who went 1-for-3 with a run-producing double in a spring game against the Rockies.
