The San Francisco Giants roster is going to be compromised for the start of the season, which is never the news you want to hear. On Monday it was reported that third baseman Evan Longoria will undergo surgery on his right index finger on Tuesday.
There’s no timeline yet for his return, but the finger will be immobilized until at least Opening Day on April 8.
Longoria had yet to appear in a Spring Training game as he dealt with the lingering finger injury. The Giants were obviously optimistic that he’d be able to recover without surgery, or they wouldn’t have waited this long into camp to move forward with the procedure.
