BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Luis Matos is the hottest waiver wire pickup at the moment. The 21-year-old is the Giants' fourth-ranked prospect and received his first call-up earlier this week. His promotion followed the loss of Mitch Haniger to the injured list, opening up a slot in San Francisco's outfield. With Haniger shelved for at least two months, Matos should receive an extended opportunity to cement his major league-level stay.

Through 24 games in Triple-A this season, Matos posted a phenomenal .398/.435/.685 slash line with seven home runs and six stolen bases. It remains to be seen how his game will translate to the next level, but Matos possesses one of the highest ceilings of anyone available on the waiver wire right now.
