SF Giants’ phenom Luis Matos to make debut vs. Cardinals
The Giants were reluctant to call up red-hot outfielder Luis Matos only to have him cool his heels on the bench.
Matos, 21, was hitting .398 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs in 24 games with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats. He also played 31 games for Double-A Richmond, hitting .304 with three home runs and 16 RBIs. Haniger and J.D. Davis were removed from an 11-3 win over the Cardinals Tuesday night after being injured in the third inning. Haniger, hit by a pitch from St. Louis starter John Flaherty, will be out for an extended period of time with a fracture.
Before Haniger’s injury, Giants announcer Duane Kuiper sarcastically addressed the possibility of bringing up Matos too early during a regular appearance on KNBR.
