The Milwaukee Brewers beefed up their outfield depth Monday by acquiring Luis Matos from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash.
The Giants designated the 24-year-old Matos for reassignment last week, which limited their leverage in the deal.
Matos was regarded as highly as a Top 30 prospect in 2022, but he has yet to display that form on a regular basis.
Over three partial seasons with the Giants, Matos fashioned a .231/.281/369 slash line over 593 plate appearances with 15 homers, 61 RBI and seven stolen bases.
He posted a career-high .424 slugging percentage in 57 games last year, but the Giants didn't have room for him this year as they signed center fielder Harrison Bader in free agency and gave Jerar Encarnacion and Jared Oliva jobs to open the season.
To make room for Matos on the 40-man roster, the Brewers designated left-handed reliever Sammy Peralta for assignment. Peralta, 27, has thrown just 45 2/3 innings over three major league seasons with the Chicago White Sox (2023-24) and Los Angeles Angels (2025).
