ANALYSIS: San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos was recently promoted to the major leagues and is worth adding in all standard leagues.

Matos made his major league debut last season and posted a solid .250/.319/.342 line with just two home runs and a 20:33 BB:K ratio in 76 games.
Through 63 games at the Triple-A level over the past two seasons, Matos has posted a .289/.357/.498 with 12 total home runs.
While Matos is flashing elite power right now in the majors, it is hard to believe that it could be sustainable since Matos usually finishes with just around ten home runs every season.
If you are looking to grab a hot hitter who can provide you with a strong batting average, add Matos. In addition, the young outfielder has recently been moved up to the five-hole in the Giants lineup which is a great sign for his counting stats.
The Giants will continue to rely on the 22-year-old to man center field as he has made five straight starts there and is worth adding in all leagues.
