WILMER FLORES NEWS

Heads to bench Flores is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll take a seat in favor of the lefty-hitting Donovan Walton as the Giants stock up on extra left-handed bats to counter Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia. Flores went 2-for-10 with a home run, a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI while starting each of the past three games, and he should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role at second base until Brandon Crawford (knee) comes off the injured list.

Adds insurance with homer Flores went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.

Impact Flores went yard in the sixth inning. This was his second homer and fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. The 30-year-old infielder is up to a .249/.320/.418 slash line with nine long balls, a team-leading 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and 13 doubles through 66 contests. He's seen regular playing time throughout the season, but he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the lineup with the Giants' infield at essentially full health. Flores should still work his way into the lineup regularly as Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria are expected to draw regular rest days, though a strict platoon is unlikely to develop.

Takes seat against righty Flores is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact In the wake of Brandon Belt's recent return from the injured list, the Giants are back to full strength in the infield for one of the few times this season. As a result, Flores could find himself out of the lineup against right-handed pitchers like Atlanta's Spencer Strider more frequently, though manager Gabe Kapler's willingness to liberally dole out rest days to his veterans shouldn't make Flores a complete afterthought. At the very least, Flores should have a secure lineup spot versus lefties; he's produced a 117 wRC+ and .342 wOBA in those matchups for his career.

Hits eighth homer Flores went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Impact The veteran first baseman hit his eighth home run of the season off Jose Quintana to give his team the lead in the top of the first. Flores had been cold as of late, with only one hit in his last 14 at-bats coming into the game against the Pirates. He is now slashing a pedestrian .243/.315/.411 on the season.

Late addition to lineup Flores is starting at third base and batting third Wednesday against the Rockies.

Impact The 30-year-old was originally absent from Wednesday's starting nine but will join the lineup with Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) being a late scratch. Flores is 8-for-23 with two home runs and six RBI through six games in June.

Out of Wednesday's lineup Flores is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 30-year-old started the past nine games at first base and will take a seat after posting a .901 OPS with three home runs during that stretch. Darin Ruf, who was activated off the bereavement list Tuesday, will enter the lineup in place of Flores.

Goes deep in loss Flores went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Flores gave the Giants a 2-1 lead in the first inning with his homer, and he added a pair of singles for his second three-hit game in his last four contests. The infielder has also homered thrice in his last eight games as he continues to be a steady force in the heart of the lineup. The 30-year-old is up to a .266/.330/.446 slash line with seven long balls, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 doubles through 206 plate appearances.
