Manager Kevin Cash said that Longoria (shin) was sore but was walking around fine and could be the designated hitter Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Considering it's spring training, it wouldn't be surprising for a veteran like Longoria to take a day off to rest his ailment, but the injury appears to be minor enough that even a day at designated hitter wouldn't be problematic. His status for Friday's game should become clearer as game time approaches.
