2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matos spent the year on the Sacramento shuttle, bouncing between the majors and Triple-A six times, ending the year on the farm. While with the Giants, Matos was a regular for a couple of stretches, but he also fell into a platoon. He fanned at a tidy 15.4 percent rate, but his quality of contact was weak, though his hard-hit rate and barrel rate were better than his rookie season. Even so, Matos was less productive last year as his .221 BABIP was 64 points shy of his 2023 level. Part of the BABIP decline was hitting more flyballs without the power to clear the fence. Entering his 23-year-old season, Matos isn't a finished product, but until he adds some exit velocity, he'll be at the whims of batted ball fate. His defense isn't strong enough to keep his bat in the lineup, and with Jung Hoo Lee back, Matos is looking at a reserve role, and likely a few more bus rides to and from Sacramento.

Back in majors
Matos was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Matos is not in Sunday's lineup, but he'll replace Mark Canha (thumb sprain) as a righty-hitting bench option. Matos is just 22 years old, but he was below league average at Triple-A (91 wRC+) and the majors (62 wRC+) this season.

Stat Review
How does Luis Matos compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

There might not have been a prospect to improve their standing more than Matos did last season. He was awful and often injured in the low minors in 2022, but the young outfielder earned a promotion to the big leagues in mid-June after getting off to a blistering .350/.415/.561 start between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. Matos wasn't ever able to get going with the Giants, eventually leading to a couple stints back in the minors during the second half. The struggles weren't surprising given that he was just 21 and had very little upper-minors experience before getting called up. Matos' elite contact rates from the minors (12.2 percent strikeout rate) did carry over to the majors (13 percent) and the hope is that some over-the-fence power will come along as he matures. Ultimately, though, there are still a wide range of outcomes here.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On taxi squad
Matos is on the taxi squad for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, reports Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Heloit Ramos has been recently dealing with a thumb injury, so Matos is up with the big club as emergency depth. Ramos is starting Tuesday's contest, so at this point it appears Matos isn't likely to be joining the MLB roster.
