Wilmer

Flores

Flores, in an interview with Susan Slusser, revealed that he has had some minor-league offers but has declined them all to this point. The 34-year-old is working out in Florida and staying ready, saying that he plans to play this year. We’ve had no public reports of interest in Flores from a team at this point.

Flores drove in a run with a base hit and came around to score in the first inning, then took Eduardo Rodriguez deep for a solo homer in the third. The 34-year-old first baseman is up to 16 homers and 70 RBI while hitting .243/.310/.385 across 452 plate appearances.

Flores smacked a run-scoring single off of Michael Kopech in the eighth inning, pulling the Giants to within seven runs at 9-2. He has fallen off considerably since his hot start to the season and is now hitting .240/.308/.376 with 15 homers and 68 RBI in 448 plate appearances.

Flores put the Giants on the board with a solo homer off Matthew Boyd in the second inning. He later drew a walk in the sixth before scoring on a home run by Matt Chapman. The 34-year-old is up to 14 homers and 64 RBI while slashing .245/.315/.383 across 413 plate appearances.

It appears to be a routine off day for Devers, who rarely misses any time. He’s been scuffling a bit of late, hitting .200 (5-for-25) with two homers over his last seven games. It’ll be Dominic Smith at the cold corner with Wilmer Flores getting an opportunity at DH on Sunday afternoon with Milwaukee rolling with a bullpen game.

Flores makes his first start since August 1 after being held out for seven consecutive games due to left hamstring tightness. The 34-year-old veteran came off the bench to pinch-hit during Saturday’s contest. He’s presumably ready to roll after missing more than one week due to injury.

Flores came off the bench during the eighth inning of Saturday afternoon’s contest after being held out of the lineup for seven consecutive games due to a left hamstring issue. The 34-year-old veteran will likely have a limited workload for the next couple days, but it appears he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list.

Flores has been sidelined for more than one week at this point due to left hamstring tightness. There’s a list to address these types of situations, but the Giants apparently aren’t going to use it. It’ll be Dominic Smith at first base on Saturday afternoon in his place.

Flores has now missed an entire week’s worth of action after leaving last Friday’s game against the Mets due to tightness in his left hamstring. He’s close to a return though which is why the Giants haven’t placed him on the injured list. He’ll keep taking things day-to-day. Rafael Devers will cover first base on Friday night with Dominic Smith functioning as the team’s designated hitter.

This is now the fifth straight game that Flores will have missed. If the team does place him on the IL, it’s possible they could opt to call up top prospect Bryce Eldridge. For now, Casey Schmitt will start at first base and hit fifth.
