Overview
- Pittsburgh announced Luciano as an outfielder on its 40-man roster following the waiver claim.
- Because he has no minor-league options remaining, the Pirates cannot send him to Triple-A without first exposing him to waivers.
- San Francisco’s 40-man roster drops to 39, giving the Giants added flexibility ahead of winter roster deadlines.
- Luciano spent 2025 at Triple-A Sacramento after an offseason move to left field, hitting .214/.335/.413 with 23 home runs and a 30.6% strikeout rate.
- A $2.6 million international signee in 2018 and former top-100 prospect, he hit .217/.286/.304 in 41 MLB games with San Francisco and struggled defensively at shortstop before the position switch.
