Luis Matos, Heliot Ramos, and Marco Luciano have brought a jolt of energy (and an influx of wins) to the San Francisco Giants as injury replacements over the last week or two. The trio of young Giants are essentially replacing Austin Slater, Nick Ahmed, and Michael Conforto, who are all on the injured list. What should the SF Giants do when those veterans are ready to return? Have we seen enough of young players like Matos and Ramos to make a trade of Slater or Conforto? Would the Giants dare send either back to Triple-A if they're playing well? Matos in particular looks like a lock to stick in the majors, but Ramos and Luciano must continue to perform to hold onto their current spots given their optionality.

Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants are:

When’s Patrick Bailey coming back?

Who will be the Giants' All-Stars this year?

Randy Rodriguez: A mainstay or back to Sacramento?

With Keaton Winn hurt and Mason Black struggling, do you think we see Carson Wisenhunt or another Triple-A starter get a shot before Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray come back?
