What has become of Luis Matos? He has not played a game for the Eugene Emeralds since May 4. He is still listed on the roster for the Emeralds and is not listed as injured. I find it hard to believe that he is just sitting on the bench. I suspect he may be in Arizona working on hitting and getting his confidence back. APGiantsfan
ReplyDeleteI think you are in the right track. I suspect he either has a relatively minor injury and is day-to-day and there is no pressing need to put him on the IL to free up his roster spot OR like you say, he could be still listed on the roster but off the grid, possibly in Arizona, working on mechanics.
DeleteNot only Milone is a former Giant but Zach Green (2-14 for the 2019 Giants), hit a two-run homer for Tacoma.
