Giants' Marco Luciano: Could move to outfield
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey indicated Tuesday the club is considering moving Marco Luciano to the outfield, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.Luciano has played only shortstop and second base but has struggled mightily defensively at both spots. Additionally, Posey believes a move to a less taxing position could unlock Luciano's potential at the plate. The 23-year-old has slashed just .217/.286/.304 with no home runs and a 35.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 126 major-league plate appearances.

Giants' Marco Luciano: Expected to be promoted
The San Francisco Giants are expected to recall Marco Luciano from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.San Francisco has an open spot on its active roster following Monday's trade with Atlanta and that spot will be filled by Luciano, who boasts a .413 on-base percentage with six home runs in July at Sacramento. The 22-year-old hit well with the Giants earlier this season, too, with a .986 OPS in 10 games, but his defense at shortstop was lacking.
