Knocks three hits in win Flores went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

Impact All three hits were singles and none of them directly generated a run, but it was still a positive showing for Flores. He's hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, though that's a span that dates back to June 11. He's gotten in the lineup four times in the last six contests and could continue to pick up playing time with Thairo Estrada (hand) out for 4-6 weeks. Flores is slashing .266/.332/.457 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and nine doubles over 193 plate appearances this season.

Goes yard Friday Flores went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

Impact Flores was able to do some damage in the series opener versus his former team. This was his first start since returning from a foot injury that sent him to the injured list. The infielder is up to eight home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .255/.318/.460 slash line through 55 contests this season. He was in a bench role for much of June prior to the injury, and he'll likely continue to be a short-side platoon option going forward.

Remains on bench Flores is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Flores hasn't appeared in a game since returning Tuesday from an IL stint for a bruised left foot -- maybe because the Giants don't want to expose him to the turf at Rogers Centre in Toronto. LaMonte Wade is playing first base in Thursday's series finale and J.D. Davis will handle the hot corner.

Back from IL The Giants reinstated Flores (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact San Francisco sent infielder Isan Diaz back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Flores, who spent the minimum amount of time on the shelf due to the left foot contusion. Now that he's healthy again, Flores should step back into a short-side platoon role in the Giants infield.

Takes part in BP Flores (foot) was able to take batting practice before Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Flores continues to make steady progress after being placed on the injured list Saturday with a bruise on his left foot. The infielder is eligible to return from the injured list before Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, but it's possible the Giants will have Flores participate in a short rehab assignment before adding him to the active roster.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Flores (foot) said he expects to be activated from the injured list when first eligible early next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Flores ran the bases and fielded grounders Wednesday as he completes his recovery from the left foot contusion that sent him to the 10-day IL on June 17. It sounds like he'll be ready to return to the Giants' active roster ahead of their series opener next Tuesday in Toronto.

Placed on IL with foot contusion Flores was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday with a left foot contusion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Flores will miss a week-plus with the bruise on his foot. The infielder had been performing well in the month of June with a .385/.500/.615 slash over 26 at-bats. The Giants recalled Tristan Beck in a corresponding transaction.

Lifts homer in win Flores went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Dodgers.

Impact Flores sparked the Giants' comeback with his seventh-inning blast. The 31-year-old infielder has hit safely in five straight games, going 6-for-16 (.375) over that span. The success of LaMonte Wade at first base and a combination of Casey Schmitt and J.D. Davis (ankle) at third has left Flores in a short-side platoon role at best, though Davis' current injury has opened up some playing time for Flores. For the season, Flores owns a .258/.324/.452 slash line with seven homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles over 173 plate appearances.

Three hits in Saturday's win Flores went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

Impact Flores has seen his playing time steadily decline with LaMonte Wade at first base and Casey Schmitt holding down a regular role in the middle infield. Over his last 10 games, Flores went a meager 2-for-21 before breaking the slump Saturday. He's now at a .248/.299/.436 slash line with six home runs, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles through 44 contests. Flores appears to be the Giants' preferred first baseman versus southpaws, but he's stuck competing with Blake Sabol for time at designated hitter against righties.

Homers in win Flores went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Astros.

Impact Flores, 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.
