CLEVELAND (AP) — Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon isn’t sure when third baseman Evan Longoria will be healthy enough to return to the field.

Longoria has been sidelined since May 1 with a partially torn left hamstring. The Rays hoped he would be able to resume baseball activities soon, but Maddon says that will not happen until at least after the All-Star break.

Longoria was shut down after he felt discomfort in the hamstring during a minor league rehab assignment last month.

The Rays had a 15-8 record when Longoria played every inning of the team’s first 23 games. They are 29-32 without him, entering Saturday’s game at Cleveland.

Longoria, a three-time All-Star, is batting .329 with four homers and 19 RBIs this season.
