Giants Call Up Prospect Marco Luciano
7 months agoThe San Francisco Giants recalled infield prospect Marco Luciano from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday after they placed catcher Patrick Bailey (head) on the seven-day concussion list for the second time in the month. Luciano, the club's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .266 (34-for-128) with a home run, 20 RBI, three stolen bases and 20 runs scored in 34 games for Sacramento at the time of his call-up. It's unclear exactly how much Luciano will play, but he should at least get a shot to see some starts at the 6 with Nick Ahmed (wrist) currently on the 10-day injured list. Casey Schmitt got the start at shortstop for the Giants on Tuesday night. Luciano is attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues for his high-end bat speed and plus raw power to all fields, but he'll need to improve his plate discipline. In his first 14 big-league games last year, Luciano hit 231 (9-for-39) with no homers, six walks and 17 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances.
