Wilmer Flores - Homers in winFlores went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Astros.
ImpactFlores, starting at DH against the left-handed Framber Valdez, extended the Giants' lead to 4-2 in the top of the ninth with a solo homer off Bryan Abreu. It's the fifth home run of the season for Flores and his third in eight games. He's gotten off to a solid start at the plate, slashing .253/.303/.470 with 12 runs scored and 10 RBI through 83 plate appearances. However, it's hard to count on consistent production from Flores as he's fallen into a short-side platoon role with LaMonte Wade and Joc Pederson.

Austin Slater - Two hits, steal in winSlater went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Astros.
ImpactSlater started in center field and led off against the left-handed Framber Valdez, logging a pair of singles and his second stolen base of the season. It was only Slater's third start after missing the first three weeks of the season with a hamstring injury. He's gotten off to a hot start at the plate, going 6-for-12 with a double. While Slater offers some stolen base upside, his role in the short side of a platoon makes it hard to rely on him for fantasy purposes.

Alex Bregman - Homers WednesdayBregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.
ImpactThe Astros were held without a run until Bregman's two-run shot off Logan Webb with two outs in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old Bregman had been struggling prior to Wednesday's contest, going just 2-for-25 with a .287 OPS in his last seven games. He's now slashing a disappointing .212/.336/.347 with four homers, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored through his first 140 plate appearances this season.
