Evan Longoria gave the Rays a .329/.433/.561 triple-slash with four home runs and seven doubles in 82 at-bats in a torrid start to his 2012 season. Since sustaining a torn hamstring, though, he's given them nothing, and has been slow to recuperate. Monday night is part and parcel with that trend, as Longoria left a rehab assignment and suspended his recovery after aggravating the injury, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Evan Longoria Aggravates Hamstring During Rehab Assignment
Longoria felt soreness while running to first base in a game for triple-A Durham, and was removed for a pinch-runner. He will rejoin the Rays in Washington on Tuesday and continue his rehab with the team.
Tampa Bay was 15-8 before Longoria's injury, which has kept him out since May 3. Since then, the Rays have gone just 22-21, and sit four games behind the streaking Yankees in the AL East and in second place in the AL Wild Card standings.
