Impact Since Brandon Belt (thumb) went on the injured list, Flores has started three of four games at first base, with the other game going to LaMonte Wade. Flores had been little more than a bench option prior to Belt's injury, but the former has hit .400 (8-for-20) with five walks and two doubles in his last 10 games. Flores could still end up on the short side of a platoon, but he's a natural infielder, which bodes well for his usage in the postseason.
