San Francisco Giants outfielder
Luis Matos was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento for the final game of the regular season as outfielder
Mark Canha (finger) was placed on the injured list with a right thumb sprain. Matos is not penciled into the starting nine and will be available off the bench as the Giants face the St. Louis Cardinals in their season finale. Matos has posted a .216/.240/.351 line across 44 games at the major league level this summer. The Giant offense is best to fade in DFS this afternoon as they will face Cardinal prospect
Michael McGreevy who enters Sunday with a strong 2.40 ERA.

The San Francisco Giants have demoted outfielder
Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento to Double-A Richmond. It is a curious move as Matos, 22, was once one of the teams' top prospects and has spent time in the big leagues the last two seasons. Although he struggled with the Giants this season in 40 games, he was hitting well for Sacramento. With Sacramento, Matos has hit .242 with eight homers, 37 RBI and six stolen bases in 227 at-bats. Despite his demotion, Matos is still very young and has the ability to reach his potential with some more seasoning on the farm. As a member of the 40-man roster, it would not be a surprise to see Matos get another opportunity with the big-league club this summer. As it stands, he can remain on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants outfielder
Luis Matos turned in a solid game in his team's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Matos went 2-for-3 with a solo homer to help propel his team to victory. The 22-year-old's homer in the fifth inning broke a 3-3 tie and wound up being the difference in the ballgame for the Giants. Matos is hitting .253 with three homers, 10 runs, and 21 RBI across 99 at-bats in 2024. He has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .381 over his past seven contests. Matos is worth a look in NL-only formats while he's hot at the plate.

San Francisco Giants outfielder
Luis Matos is being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move that put outfielder
Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) on the injured list. Matos had a brief stint in the majors early this season and held a .224/.247/.329 slash line with two home runs, 20 RBI, and a 3:10 BB:K ratio in 21 games. In 44 games at Triple-A this season, Matos posted a solid .250/.324/.467 line with 15 doubles, eight long balls, 31 RBI, and five swiped bags. Since June 11, in the minors, Matos has been riding a stellar .375/.419/.925 line with five home runs, which resulted in his promotion. The 22-year-old outfielder is worth a look in deeper leagues as he should receive plenty of opportunities as Yastrzemski remains sidelined.
