Gets aboard four times Flores went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Pirates.
Impact Flores has hit safely in six straight games, and he's batting .342 with a home run, three RBI and five runs scored through 12 games in August. The 31-year-old infielder has started seven of the last 10 contests, but his playing time is likely to be a bit more limited with the Giants' infield at essentially full health. For the season, Flores has been steady with a .258/.342/.448 slash line, 16 homers, 58 RBI, 58 runs scored and 22 doubles through 421 plate appearances.

Four scoreless outings in last five Flores has given up just one run in his last five starts (18.2 innings) for Double-A Erie, surrendering just eight hits and five walks with 20 strikeouts in that span.
Impact The results are obviously positive, but he hasn't finished five innings in any of those outings -- the longest came Tuesday, when he tossed 4.2 one-hit frames against New Hampshire. Flores has only completed five frames a handful of times this season, so it remains an open question what we'd see from him the third time through a batting order. Even if he can't ultimately do that successfully (and consistently), Flores could have major-league success as a high-leverage bullpen arm.

Heads to bench Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact With the Giants bringing back Brandon Crawford, Joc Pederson and Thairo Estrada from the injured list this weekend and Evan Longoria (hamstring) on track to be activated Monday, Flores' time as an everyday player could be over. Due to the high volume of left-handed hitters on the roster, the righty-hitting Flores should at least retain a regular spot in the lineup versus southpaws.

Pops 16th homer Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Flores' fifth-inning blast was the Giants' lone extra-base hit in the contest. He's gone yard three times in his last six games, and he's up to 16 homers this year. The infielder has added a .251/.330/.455 slash line with 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 20 doubles through 97 games. With both Thairo Estrada (concussion) and Brandon Crawford (knee) out, Flores should be an everyday player at second base for the foreseeable future.

Heads to bench Flores is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Flores' move to the bench ends a stretch of 12 consecutive starts for the 30-year-old. Tommy La Stella will step in at second base in place of Flores, who should continue to have a regular spot in the middle infield while both Thairo Estrada (concussion) and Brandon Crawford (knee) are on the injured list.

Accounts for offense Friday Flores went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.
Impact Flores accounted for the Giants' run production Friday with his ninth-inning blast. This was his first multi-hit performance since July 11 -- in the 14 games in between, he hit just .182 with five extra-base hits. The infielder has a .248/.329/.448 slash line with 15 homers, 55 RBI, 53 runs scored and 20 doubles through 95 contests.

Knocks 14th homer Flores went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Flores tied the game with his blast off Tyler Gilbert in the third inning, but the Diamondbacks took the lead back a half-inning later. In his last 12 games, Flores has gone 7-for-37 (.189) with no multi-hit efforts in that span. The infielder's slump has him down to a .245/.327/.436 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI and 50 runs scored through 92 contests. With Brandon Crawford (knee) still out, Flores has seen an everyday role at second base while Thairo Estrada moves over to shortstop.
