6/27/24	Cubs searching for answers, trying to avoid 4-game sweep in series finale Thursday in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The struggling Chicago Cubs will be looking to avoid a sweep in San Francisco when they conclude their four-game series against the Giants on Thursday afternoon. At this point, any win for the Cubs would be welcome. Their long malaise continued late Wednesday night, as the Giants’ Luis Matos hit a […] Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/cubs-searching-answers-tr...
6/07/24	Giants notes: Melvin excited to give Ramos opportunity in center field. When the Giants lost Jung Hoo Lee for the year, they hoped to count on Luis Matos to handle center field. Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater are better in the corners, and while Tyler Fitzgerald and Brett Wisely both can play center field, neither is viewed as a regular yet and Wisely is needed at shortstop. Heliot Ramos had not played center regularly since 2022, and the staff initially didn't view him as someone who could slide back over. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...

6/05/24	Why SF Giants sent Luis Matos back to minors not a month after winning NL honors. Less than a month after he was named the National League's player of the week, Luis Matos was packing up his bags Wednesday morning inside the visitors' clubhouse at Chase Field. The 23-year-old outfielder was optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento when Austin Slater was activated from the injured list before first pitch, a roster move that would have been unthinkable only a few weeks ago, when Matos drove in 11 runs in a two-game span and earned leaguewide honors alongside Aaron Judge. While Matos was sent down with a batting line of .224/.247/.329 — a .577 OPS and 69 OPS+, 31% below league average — that doesn't reflect the initial success he enjoyed, when it looked like he would be the Giants' everyday center fielder in the wake of Jung Hoo Lee's season-ending injury. Hitting safely in 10 of his first 13 games after being called up May 12, Matos earned a promotion to the leadoff spot for 10 games and put himself in the company of some of the franchise's greatest players with 16 RBIs in his first five games while making some highlight-worthy catches in center.

Luis Matos hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, Spencer Howard pitched four scoreless innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the MLB-leading Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Tuesday night. After the Phillies failed to score in the top of the 10th off Sean Hjelle (2-1), automatic runner Tyler Fitzgerald advanced to third on a flyball by Wilmer Flores before Matos knocked him in with a flyball to left off Matt Strahm (3-1).

5/23/24	Kurtenbach: The SF Giants' comeback kids spark hope into season [3 Up, 3 Down]. The Giants' series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates was unquestionably the wildest three-game set this team has played all season and is well in the running ot the most ridiculous over the last few seasons. Last week, I said that the Giants' downright absurd string of injuries could end up being the best thing for the team. Ready or not, the youth movement for the Giants' roster was coming. Collectively, the under-25 contingent of the Giants' roster — Luis Matos, Heliot Ramos, Marco Luciano, Brett Wisely, and Patrick Bailey are hitting .341 with 20 (!!!) RBI over the Giants' last six games. Source: https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/23/kurtenbach-...

5/17/24	As injuries pile up, Matos, Ramos to get extended look for SF Giants. On Tuesday, Luis Matos missed a play that almost every outfielder should make, dropping a catchable fly ball and turning an out into three bases. Roughly 24 hours later, Matos made a play that just about no one would make, tracking Teoscar Hernández's deep drive to center field and robbing a home run. Over in left field, Heliot Ramos had a field-level view of Matos' lowlight and highlight. Ramos will have plenty of opportunities to graze that patch of outfield grass himself.

5/14/24	Dodgers' Rivalry With Giants Provides 'Always Intense Games'. The Los Angeles Dodgers renewed their rivalry with the San Francisco Giants on Monday and came from behind to earn a 6-4 win in 10 innings at Oracle Park. The Dodgers took an early lead but quickly relinquished it when Luis Matos hit a three-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the second inning. L.A. would eventually tie things up before the Giants reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the sixth. The Dodgers quickly tied the score in the seventh and never looked back from there.

The San Francisco Giants could soon have their hand forced by an up and coming slugging prospect. Author: Kade Kistner Apr 08, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants Luis Matos Mike Yastrzemski The San Francisco Giants are off to a fairly cold start in the scorching hot National League West. After the additions of Blake Snell, Matt Chapman and Jordan Hicks in MLB free agency, the expectations are high for the 2023 MLB season. But a 4-6 start to the year is far from what the front office, players and fans expected. Especially, when trying to chase down the Los Angeles Dodgers .

3/29/24	Giants notes: Matos, Teng join team; Cobb's return is close. Before the 2024 MLB season opener Thursday, Giants manager Bob Melvin said his conversation with Luis Matos was the toughest one he had as the roster was finalized. A day later, Matos arrived back in the big leagues. With Mike Yastrzemski on the paternity list and Luke Jackson on the IL, the Giants brought Matos and right-hander Kai-Wei Teng down from Sacramento. The Matos move was expected, although the Teng addition was an emergency addition. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...
3/15/24	Kurtenbach: Red-hot Luis Matos should be the SF Giants' Opening Day right fielder. It's a ridiculous that he won't be. Luis Matos deserves to be the Giants' Opening Day right fielder this season. He, at the very least, deserves to make the Giants' big-league roster to start the season. But I don't expect either of those things to happen by the time the Giants break camp in Arizona next week. And if that prediction comes to pass, the Giants are making a mistake. Matos, once the Giants' No. 4 overall prospect, is ripping up the Cactus League. In his 31 at-bats going into Friday, he had nine runs, nine hits, seven RBI, three home runs, and was slashing .290/.371/.742. Sure, it's a small sample size, but those are big, big numbers. Lineup-changing numbers, even with an inevitable drop-off. And it's not luck that Source: https://www.montereyherald.com/2024/03/15/kurtenba...

8/06/23	A's fans make themselves heard against Giants before largest home crowd of the season. It got quiet when Luis Matos stepped into the batter's box for the Giants to face A's right-hander Paul Blackburn. Then, in the moments before Matos grounded harmlessly to second baseman Zack Gelof for the first out of the fifth inning, the chanting began. It was yet another message to A's owner John Fisher, reviled by the local fan base for letting their beloved franchise fall into disrepair before making a deal to play in a new stadium on the Las Vegas strip. “I don't really hear much out there, but all of a sudden they started chanting and it's like a wave that hits you,” Blackburn said after a 2-1 win over the Giants before a season-high crowd of 37,533.
