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

San Francisco Giants shortstop Marco Luciano (hamstring) exited Wednesday's game against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with tightness in his right hamstring. Luciano exited in the third inning of Wednesday's series finale and is considered day-to-day, as the Giants will use Thursday's off-day to determine the severity of the injury. San Fran's No. 1 prospect for 2024, the 22-year-old slugging infielder has gone 9-for-24 (.375) with two doubles, one triple, and six runs scored over 10 games but is currently stuck on the weak side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Blake Wisely for at-bats at shortstop. Until his playing time increases, Luciano isn't a fantasy option even in the deepest of redraft leagues. He may even head back to the minor leagues when veteran Nick Ahmed (wrist) comes back from the injured list.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jorge Soler and shortstop Macro Luciano are not in Saturday's lineup. Soler has started in every game since returning from the injured list with an injured shoulder and has performed well with a .267/.333/.467 line highlighted by a solo shot on Friday evening. Luciano has started at shortstop over the past seven games and posted a stellar .429/.500/.619 line. As a result, Patrick Bailey will serve as the designated hitter and bat third on Saturday afternoon, and Brett Wisely will serve as the shortstop and bat in the nine-hole. Bailey is worth a look in DFS as he enters Saturday with a strong .301/.352/.495 line with four long balls and two stolen bases. He will face Luis Severino, who enters Saturday with a 3.48 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Marco Luciano put together a solid performance against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The 22-year-old was recalled on Tuesday with the team being shorthanded in the infield. He made the most of his chances on Saturday, going 2-for-4 in the win. The expectation is that Luciano is going to get significant at-bats with Nick Ahmed (wrist) still on the injured list. Luciano should get plenty of chances to show what he can do at the big league level.

The San Francisco Giants recalled infield prospect Marco Luciano from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday after they placed catcher Patrick Bailey (head) on the seven-day concussion list for the second time in the month. Luciano, the club's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .266 (34-for-128) with a home run, 20 RBI, three stolen bases and 20 runs scored in 34 games for Sacramento at the time of his call-up. It's unclear exactly how much Luciano will play, but he should at least get a shot to see some starts at the 6 with Nick Ahmed (wrist) currently on the 10-day injured list. Casey Schmitt got the start at shortstop for the Giants on Tuesday night. Luciano is attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues for his high-end bat speed and plus raw power to all fields, but he'll need to improve his plate discipline. In his first 14 big-league games last year, Luciano hit 231 (9-for-39) with no homers, six walks and 17 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances.

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano tallied three RBI en route to Tuesday's victory, increasing his season total to 13. After getting a small taste of the major leagues last season, the Giants sent down the 22-year-old to continue his development in Triple-A. Luciano has performed well early in the season, posting a .303/.419/.382 slash line with six extra-base hits and three stolen bases. Luciano is expected to return to the major leagues later in the summer and is worth keeping an eye on in deeper re-draft formats.
