The Giants activated Evan Longoria, giving their roster a clean bill of health for one of the first times all season.
SAN DIEGO — Facing the division-rival Padres for the first time since they acquired the brightest and shiniest possible addition at the trade deadline to the middle of their lineup, the Giants on Monday were sporting a new look of their own — one they hope can make an equal impact for their fast-fading playoff hopes.
“We can’t wait any longer,” said Longoria, who was also sporting a slightly new look, with his mohawk now bleached blond. “The goal now is to stay healthy the rest of the season and try to put together a run. It started in Oakland. Obviously we know we have to go through these guys and the Dodgers again, and there’s a lot of games left with them. So being at full strength will be a big deal.”
After the Padres were swept by the Dodgers this weekend, Soto offered his own proclamation for their three-game set with San Francisco: “Don’t be surprised if you see all these guys going off next series.”
