Longoria has a stiff neck and will get Friday off, though he's still set to start on Opening Day, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The third baseman dealt with a similar issue when he was scratched from Grapefruit League action March 19, but while the recurrence may make fantasy owners take note, it seems to be a minor hurdle. Watch for further news on Longoria in the coming week, and perhaps he deserves a slight decrease in his draft-day price.
