Happy Wednesday, San Francisco Giants fans.
Today is one of the most exciting days to be in a Giants fan in recent memory. It is, presumably, the debut of outfield prospect Luis Matos.
Just as with Casey Schmitt and Patrick Bailey last month, Matos’ debut is coming at the intersection of excellent play and injury opportunity. It just happens to be that both of those things are extra intense in Matos’ case.
First, the bad: left fielder Mitch Haniger suffered a fractured forearm in last night’s win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
