8 months agoThe San Francisco Giants recalled infield prospect Marco Luciano and catcher Blake Sabol from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. The Giants were fully expected to give Luciano another shot in the big leagues after trading outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night. Luciano will serve as the DH and bat sixth in Tuesday's contest against the visiting Oakland Athletics and left-hander JP Sears. The Giants' No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, should see regular playing time the rest of the way in San Fran, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup in deep-mixed leagues for middle-infield depth. The 22-year-old was on fire recently on the farm and went 9-for-24 (.375) with two doubles, a triple and an RBI in 10 games earlier this year in the big leagues. The Dominican infielder is intriguing due to his raw power from the right side of the plate.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

1 month agoSan Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said that infielder Marco Luciano will play a corner-outfield spot in spring training. Luciano admitted on Friday that he felt "totally lost" in the batter's box last year and said he wasn't ready mentally for winter ball and wanted to concentrate on getting in shape first and foremost. The team's former top prospect slashed .211/.259/.303 with a .562 OPS, no homers, three RBI and 28 strikeouts in 81 plate appearances over 27 games for the Gigantes last year. It's unclear if the Giants are giving up completely on him being an infielder, but Luciano is now blocked at the 6 by Willy Adames. The 23-year-old's defense at shortstop wasn't all that great, either, so they'll give him a try in the outfield this year and he'll likely open the year at Triple-A Sacramento. Now is a good buy-low opportunity for those in dynasty/keeper leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

5 months agoSan Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said that the team is looking for a shortstop this offseason. Tyler Fitzgerald impressed at the 6 in his rookie season, but he can also play multiple positions. Meanwhile, the Giants hope that moving infielder Marco Luciano to the outfield will help him unlock his true potential offensively. If Fitzgerald continues to hit like he did this year, the Giants will find a place for him in their everyday lineup. In 96 games after debuting in 10 games in 2023, Fitzgerald hit a strong .280/.334/.497 with an .831 OPS, 15 home runs, 34 RBI, 17 steals and 53 runs scored. Over a full season, that kind of production will be very attractive in all fantasy leagues. Luciano has struggled defensively up the middle and also hit just .211/.259/.303 with no homers and 28 K's in 76 at-bats in 27 games in 2024.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoSan Francisco Giants infielder Marco Luciano has been recalled from Triple-A ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old former top prospect has failed to live up to the hype at the big league level. He's slashing .262/.333/.400 with one RBI in 31 games between the last two seasons on the Giants roster. To be fair, Luciano has only be given a small sample size, so hopefully he'll get more playing time this time around. He'll bat eighth and cover second base versus right-hander Ryne Nelson on Tuesday. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can use a wait-and-see approach with Luciano.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

8 months agoSan Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento soon now that the trade of outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler opened up the DH spot and created more options for manager Bob Melvin. The 22-year-old Luciano had quality plate appearances in a major-league stint in May but couldn't stick as a reliable defensive option at shortstop. Luciano was locked in of late on the farm, posting a .413 on-base percentage while hitting six homers in July. He's walked 18 times and struck out 18 times this month. The Giants also plan to rotate outfielder Michael Conforto and, when healthy, infielder Wilmer Flores (knee) in the DH slot. Luciano had a .986 OPS in 10 games with San Fran earlier this year and is a waiver-wire consideration for those seeking middle-infield depth in deep-mixed leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
