Getting regular action Flores will serve as the Giants' designated hitter and will bat sixth Sunday against the Athletics, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Back on bench Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Flores was included in the lineup in each of the team's last four games, but the Giants faced three lefty starters during that stretch. As a result, Flores should still be viewed as a short-side platoon player at this stage, relegating his usefulness mostly to NL-only leagues.

Pops go-ahead, three-run homer Flores went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, two total runs scored and a walk in Friday's 9-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Flores' go-ahead homer off Rangers starter Mike Minor in the fifth inning gave the Giants a lead they would not relinquish. Batting second and manning first base, Flores later drew a walk and scored on a Donovan Solano single in the seventh. With the Giants' infield fully healthy, Flores may be limited to a utility role. He's batting .300 with two homers, six RBI and three runs scored in 32 plate appearances this season.

Cranks out four hits Solano went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 12-7 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Impact Three of Solano's four hits were doubles, including one of the run-scoring variety in the seventh inning. He added the game-tying run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Solano has hit safely in five straight games (10-for-19) with a homer, nine RBI, four doubles and three runs scored. The 32-year-old infielder is still expected to make most of his starts versus southpaws, but his recent success could earn him more general playing time over the likes of Mauricio Dubon and Wilmer Flores.
