Evan Longoria leaves team for birth of child
Evan Longoria - 3B - Tampa Bay Rays
Feb. 20, 2013 - 8:50 AM ET

Evan Longoria will not be at Rays' camp Wednesday because his girlfriend is having induced labor.

Longoria was likely to be eased into action following hamstring surgery, so he wasn't a sure thing to play in the early part of the Grapefruit League schedule, anyway. The Rays will give him all the time he needs.
