Marco Luciano's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants infielder Marco Luciano has been recalled from Triple-A ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old former top prospect has failed to live up to the hype at the big league level. He's slashing .262/.333/.400 with one RBI in 31 games between the last two seasons on the Giants roster. To be fair, Luciano has only be given a small sample size, so hopefully he'll get more playing time this time around. He'll bat eighth and cover second base versus right-hander Ryne Nelson on Tuesday. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can use a wait-and-see approach with Luciano.

The 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.

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento soon now that the trade of outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler opened up the DH spot and created more options for manager Bob Melvin. The 22-year-old Luciano had quality plate appearances in a major-league stint in May but couldn't stick as a reliable defensive option at shortstop. Luciano was locked in of late on the farm, posting a .413 on-base percentage while hitting six homers in July. He's walked 18 times and struck out 18 times this month. The Giants also plan to rotate outfielder Michael Conforto and, when healthy, infielder Wilmer Flores (knee) in the DH slot. Luciano had a .986 OPS in 10 games with San Fran earlier this year and is a waiver-wire consideration for those seeking middle-infield depth in deep-mixed leagues.

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano continued his power surge for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. MLB Pipeline's No. 73 prospect went 2-for-4 with a walk and home run, marking his sixth homer in the last 19 games. For the season, Luciano is now hitting .243 with eight homers and 36 RBI. The 22-year-old suited up at second base in this contest and gaining versatility could help him get more opportunities at the big-league level. Luciano has had an interesting year with getting a cup of coffee with the Giants earlier in the season and dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited his playing time this season. As one of the top prospects at the shortstop position, the Giants would be wise to give Luciano another chance before the season wraps up. For now, his most value is in dynasty leagues.

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano earned MLB.com's Prospect Team of the Week honors after a productive five games for Triple-A Sacramento, including a two-homer game on Saturday. The 22-year-old's hot stretch actually started back on July 2. Since then he's gone 13-for-38 (.342) with four home runs and a 6:7 BB:K in nine games. Luciano was productive in his short time with the Giants earlier this season, going 9-for-24 (.375) with two doubles, a triple, and a 3:5 BB:K in 10 games. MLB's 75th-ranked prospect (Giants No. 3) should get another shot in the majors later this season and is a stash candidate in deeper leagues for managers with an available bench spot.
