Longoria would have been considered an unannounced sub (Pinch hitter) should he had come to the plate. At that point we end up with a new F1 & someone (likely either Longoria or Zobrist) would be done for the day.
As others have stated, best to check the lineups carefully before the game. It's something the MLB guys don't really expect.
