The Giants optioned Matos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Even after the Giants shipped Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals on Thursday, Matos was unable to take control of anything more than a short-side platoon role in the San Francisco outfield. The left-handed-hitting Grant McCray started over Matos in right field in both of the final two games of the weekend series versus the Mets, who sent right-handers to the mound in those contests. Matos should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Sacramento.

Matos is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Matos will be on the bench to begin Saturday's game while Grant McCray starts in right field and bats ninth. Matos is off to a slow start at the dish since the All-Star break, having gone 3-for-20 (.150) with one RBI over eight games.

Matos went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants struggled to get any offense going until Matos delivered a game-tying homer in the ninth inning off Tanner Scott. The outfielder has gone 4-for-21 (.190) over seven games since returning to the big-league roster July 1 after a month-long stay with Triple-A Sacramento. Matos has struggled to a .172/.214/.387 slash line with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases over 98 plate appearances. He will likely continue to serve in a short-side platoon role while in the majors, most often spelling Mike Yastrzemski in right field when the Giants face a southpaw.

Matos went 1-for-5 with a two-RBI double in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Matos cracked a ground-rule double to right-center field in the fifth inning, driving in two runs and giving the club a 5-1 lead. The 23-year-old outfielder has now recorded three doubles in his last four games. Since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, Matos is slashing .231/.286/.462 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored across 14 plate appearances. He has started each of the two games against a lefty but has only started one of four games against righties since his most recent promotion.

The Giants recalled Matos from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Christian Koss (hamstring) headed to the injured list, the Giants will turn to Matos to replenish the big club's bench depth. The 23-year-old outfielder owns a .572 OPS in the big leagues this season but has slashed .272/.326/.444 across 89 plate appearances since being sent down to the minors in early June.

The Giants optioned Matos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes one day after Matos cranked a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins. He's slashed only .167/.211/.361 in 24 games this season and will look to get into a groove with regular at-bats at Sacramento.

Matos went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Matos drew his first start since Monday and broke out of an 0-for-18 slump by giving the Giants a 4-0 lead with a 390-foot homer in the fourth inning. He later added a single and a stolen base in the ninth. Despite the encouraging performance, the 23-year-old owns an ugly .167/.211/.361 slash with four home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and two steals across 76 plate appearances on the season.

Matos (shoulder) will bat sixth and play right field Sunday against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matos was scratched from Friday's lineup due to discomfort in his right shoulder and didn't appear in Saturday's 1-0 win over the A's. However, he's back in the starting nine for the series finale. Matos is slashing .167/.219/.350 in 64 plate appearances this season.

Matos was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Athletics due to right shoulder discomfort, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Matos' injury remains unknown, though it's enough to warrant holding him out of action Friday. The Giants should provide some more details in the near future, and in the meantime, David Villar will take over as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Matos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Cubs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The only runs San Francisco managed to score in the loss came on Matos' two-run homer in the fourth inning. The long ball was his second in his last three games, a stretch during which he's gone 4-for-9. Matos has started to get more opportunities of late, as he's started four of the Giants' past five contests.
