Giants Officially Call Up Marco Luciano
4 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.
