Injuries to J.D. Davis & Mitch Haniger have forced the Giant’s hand and as a result Venezuelan 21 year old outfielder, Luis Matos, will be getting the call. Upon arriving from Double-A with his mid-May promotion to Triple-A he has hit the ground running, slashing .396/.434/.660 with 6 home runs, 19 RBI and a 1.094 OPS through 23 games. Matos has always been an exceptional defender (won Defender of the Year in 2022 - Arizona Fall League) but did see struggles with the bat in Single-A due to a quad injury and pitchers starting to take advantage of his aggressiveness at the plate.
