Could return ahead of schedule Longoria (finger) could return within four weeks, rather than six as previously expected, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact A four-week timetable would give him a shot at returning before the end of April. While the Giants could still wind up playing things cautiously with the veteran third baseman, it appears as though he's making great progress in his recovery from finger surgery. He'll get his stitches out Friday and has already begun grip exercises.

Placed on injured list Longoria (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact A trip to the injured list was always expected after Longoria underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his right index finger in mid-March. The fact that he was placed on the 10-day injured list rather than the 60-day indicates that the Giants think he can return before early June, which is in line with the six-week timetable he was given at the time of the surgery.

Expected to miss six weeks Manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that Longoria (finger) is expected to miss approximately six weeks, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Longoria underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his right index finger Tuesday, and his finger will be immobilized for at least 10 days before he resumes baseball activities. With the 36-year-old out of game action until at least mid-May, Wilmer Flores is slated to serve as the team's primary third baseman.

Headed for surgery Longoria will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a ligament in his right index finger, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports. A timeline for his return isn't clear, but h...
Impact The Giants might have a better sense about how long Longoria might be sidelined once the surgery is completed, but he won't be ready to go for Opening Day and appears likely to miss at least the first week or two of the regular season. The third baseman had yet to see any Cactus League action in spring training and will likely need at least a few rehab appearances before making his 2022 debut. Wilmer Flores, Thairo Estrada and Tommy La Stella are all candidates to pick up more work at the hot corner while Longoria is out of commission.

Continuing baseball activity Longoria (finger) is participating in all baseball workouts, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Longoria has downplayed the injury, though he also noted that the pain stems from when he was hit by a pitch late in the 2021 season. Given that he's had the entire offseason to rest the issue, it's a bit concerning that he is still not feeling fully healthy. Even so, his Opening Day status does not appear threatened at this time.

Battling finger soreness Longoria has not played in Cactus League games due to soreness in his right index finger, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Longoria said it came from a hit-by-pitch late last season and flared up during spring training. The third baseman isn't expected to miss Opening Day, though the flexibility of the Giants' bench players could afford him to take time off it the injury persists.
