Longoria has been out of action since July 5, nursing a left oblique strain.

The 36-year-old spent seven games with Triple-A Sacramento on a rehab assignment. In seven games with Sacramento, Longoria batted .333/.360/.417 with eight hits and a walk over 25 plate appearances. 

On Saturday, the Giants also reinstated right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis from the 15-day injured list and placed pitcher Mauricio Llovera and infielder Brandon Crawford on the IL.

Junis hasn't pitched since June 10, out with a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old is 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA over seven starts with the Giants this season. 

Llovera heads to the 15-day IL with a right flexor strain. He's pitched in 17 games for the Giants this season, sporting a 4.41 ERA over 16.1 innings.
