San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos has officially been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Michael Conforto (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list as a corresponding move. It is unclear whether Matos will receive everyday at-bats or not, but he will definitely be in the outfield mix for the Giants. The 22-year-old has scuffled at the plate to start his minor-league season as he is slashing .218/.308/.355 with three homers, 17 RBI and three stolen bases across 31 games. He is worth a speculative add in the deepest of leagues, but most managers should probably take a wait-and-see approach with Matos instead.

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Luis Matos is likely being called up to the majors after he was pulled from his game at Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday night. Reports have also noted that Matos is in the Giants clubhouse on Sunday. Michael Conforto (hamstring) strained his right hamstring in Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds and may require an IL stint once the results of his MRI come back. Matos is the likely replacement on the roster if Conforto misses time. Matos had some fantasy hype coming into the season but has had an underwhelming start to the year. He is slashing .218/.308/.355 with three homers, 17 RBI and three steals through 31 games in the minors.

Giants outfielder Luis Matos has opened the 2024 season in style at Triple-A. Matos, who struggled in his first taste of the big leagues last season, hit two home runs with five RBI and a stolen base in his first game of the year in Sacramento. The 22-year-old has already flashed elite contact skills and has shown an uptick in power over the spring and into the start of the season. The Venezuelan has a chance to be a multi-category contributor for fantasy managers in 2024, as he should get another shot with the Giants in the first half of the season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos continued his red-hot stretch at the plate on Friday. The 22-year-old blasted two solo home runs during the 11-5 victory over the Texas Rangers. Now, Matos has three dingers over his last 11 at-bats. He is showing that he's ready for the big league level. Sadly, Matos doesn't have a good shot at earning a starting outfield spot to begin the season. The Giants are expected to start Jung Hoo Lee, Mike Yastrzemski, and Michael Conforto across their outfield to begin the 2024 season. Possibly, Matos grabs a bench spot, but a young player like Matos deserves everyday playing time. For now, the best move might be for him to stick in Triple-A until an everyday spot opens up in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Giants appear content to start the 2024 season with a semi-stable outfield of Luis Matos in left field, Jung-Hoo Lee in center field and a Mike Yastrzemski/Austin Slater combination in right field. If Blake Sabol makes the Opening Day roster, he could serve as a left-handed complement to Matos against certain right-handed starters. That alignment would leave Michael Conforto as the primary designated hitter against righties, with Wilmer Flores seeing most of his playing time against lefties. The 22-year-old Matos hit .250/.319/.342 with two homers and 14 RBI in his first 76 big-league games in 2023 after tearing up the upper level of the minors. The Giants will be hoping Matos can grow into some more power as he matures, but his elite contact rates in the minors carried over to his small sample size for San Fran last year, and it looks like he'll see plenty of playing time to start the 2024 campaign.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos went 0-for-4 on Monday versus the Seattle Mariners and is now hitting a weak .226 with one homer, four RBI, two stolen bases and nine strikeouts over 18 games. The 21-year-old was on fire in Triple-A prior to his promotion and remains of the more exciting all-around prospects, but his struggles may lead to a demotion if he can't get it going shortly. Matos has been playing everyday and has plenty of opportunity with Mitch Haniger (forearm) set to be sidelined for most of the second half, but he will need to start picking it up if he plans to remain in the big leagues. He's a fine watch list candidate in redraft leagues for now and managers in dynasty leagues should remain patient.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos is being moved up to the two-hole in a matchup against Padres left-hander Blake Snell on Thursday. Matos debuted out of the two-spot on June 14 but has since hit no higher than fifth in his six ensuing starts. The 21-year-old has more than held his own through his first seven big-league contests, hitting .304 with a double, two steals, a hefty 20.7% BB%, and a .796 OPS across 29 trips to the plate. Matos also sports a .383 xwOBA that is above his impressive .371 wOBA to this point. Perhaps most impressive is the fact he's struck out in just one of his 29 plate appearances so far, although he'll be in tough to keep that up against Snell and his 29.2% K% on the season.

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Luis Matos has officially been promoted from Triple-A Sacramento and will bat second versus Jordan Montgomery. Speculation of this move trickled through the news wire when he was removed in the third inning of Tuesday's game. More fuel was added to the fire when it was announced that outfielder Mitch Haniger (forearm) was diagnosed with a fractured forearm and corner infielder J.D. Davis (ankle) with an ankle sprain. Matos, 21, has been on an insane tear of late with six homers over his last seven games and is an extra-base machine that also offers value on the basepaths. Between Double-A and Triple-A this year, Matos has hit .350 with 13 doubles, 10 homers, 36 RBI and 15 stolen bases. He is worth an add in all formats.

The San Francisco Giants may call up outfield prospect Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento after Mitch Haniger (forearm) sustained a fractured right forearm Tuesday. The 21-year-old is the team's seventh-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline and has slashed an impressive .396/.434/.660 with six home runs, 19 RBI, and six stolen bases in 114 plate appearances. Matos was pulled from Sacramento's game at Sugar Land, Texas, after Haniger's injury, which further suggests a call-up. Matos has always been regarded as a high-hit-tool fantasy prospect, so he would be worth a look in all leagues if he were to get the call.
