Evan Longoria will return to the Rays lineup on Tuesday, the team announced on Monday.

The Rays optioned infielder Will Rhymes to make room for Longoria.

Longoria, 26, hasn't placed since suffering a partially torn left hamstring on April 30. He's had a few setbacks in his rehab, but in his most recent stint, he played eight games for Triple_A Durham, going 5 for 25 with three RBI and seven walks.
