By Erin Walsh | Last updated 6/6/21

The San Francisco Giants will be without Evan Longoria for at least the next month.

The veteran third baseman will miss the next four to six weeks with a left shoulder sprain, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale:

Tough news for #SFGiants who lose third baseman Evan Longoria for 4-6 weeks with left shoulder sprain. Longoria is hitting .280 with 9 homers, 30 RBI and an .892 OPS

Longoria suffered the injury during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. With one out in the ninth inning, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit a slow roller toward shortstop. With the Giants shifting slightly, Longoria and Brandon Crawford converged on the ball and collided in a scary moment.

Crawford appeared to be fine, but Longoria laid on the infield dirt for a few moments before exiting.
