Luis Matos

McCray and Brett Wisely both get the boot from the roster, so it appears that Luis Matos has won a spot on the bench for the Giants. McCray will likely be up-and-down whenever the Giants need an extra outfielder, although Wisely could be that first name called.

It's a brutal development for Encarnacion, who was in the midst of a strong spring at the dish before suffering the injury earlier this week during a Cactus League contest while attempting to make a diving catch. He's facing a multi-week absence, and will undergo additional testing and evaluation this weekend to determine whether surgery is required, according to a team statement. There should be some clarity on his status later this weekend, but fantasy managers should anticipate him remaining on the shelf until at least late April or early May. His absence should result in an uptick in playing time for Luis Matos and Grant McCray, but their fantasy-relevance is limited to extremely deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats.

He's facing a multi-week absence, at a bare minimum, and will undergo additional testing and evaluation this weekend to determine whether surgery is required. There should be some clarity on his status shortly, but fantasy managers should anticipate a lengthy absence.

Assuming Jerar Encarnacion's spot is secure, Wisely is contending with Luis Matos, Grant McCray, Casey Schmidt, David Villar and some remaining NRIs for two spots on the Giants bench. The 25-year-old Wisely got into 91 games with the Giants last season, most of them at second base or shortstop. He's also plenty capable of playing the outfield. He is hitting .286/.362/.429 at the moment.
