AUGUST 20, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Two-run homer in return Flores went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.

Impact Flores was out Monday with an ear infection, but it turned out to be a short absence for the infielder. He'd cooled off a bit prior to sitting out a game, going 1-for-12 across his last four contests, though he's still been one of the Giants' better hitters in recent weeks. Flores is up to a .300/.356/.542 slash line with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 39 runs scored and 19 doubles through 88 games this season. If he continues to hold down a starting role, he could make a push for his first 20-homer season.

Back in lineup Tuesday Flores (ear) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.

Impact After being scratched from Monday's series opener due to an ear infection, Flores will start at third base and bat third Tuesday against the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. J.D. Davis is on the bench for the host Giants.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with ear infection Flores is no longer listed in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rays due to an ear infection, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Flores was slated to get the nod at the hot corner, but he'll now be considered day-to-day after getting scratched. Johan Camargo is starting at third base and batting ninth in Flores' place.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in four Flores went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and two additional RBI in Tuesday's loss against the Angels.

Impact Flores accounted for four of the Giants' five runs Tuesday, plating Luis Matos and LaMonte Wade on a third-inning single and swatting a two-run homer off Dominic Leone in the eighth. The outing marked Flores' fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games while the long ball was his fifth in his last 18 appearances. Over that 18-game stretch, Flores is 27-for-67 (.403) with 15 RBI and 12 runs scored while striking out at a 13.3 percent clip.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three-hit effort in win Flores went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Flores has hit safely in his last six games, and he has multiple hits in three of those contests. The infielder got the nod at designated hitter with Joc Pederson taking a start in left field Wednesday, though the Giants' outfield remains unpredictable on a game-by-game basis. Flores has been hot lately, which may force manager Gabe Kapler to make room for him in the lineup. Flores is at a .305/.360/.545 slash line with 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles through 79 contests overall.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in extra-innings loss Flores went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Flores ends July on a five-game hitting streak, and he batted .383 (31-for-81) with six homers and 11 RBI in the month. The infielder got the nod at third base Monday, though he may be slipping back into a utility role with LaMonte Wade (back) returning to action following a three-game absence over the weekend. Flores is slashing .298/.354/.537 with 14 homers, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and 16 doubles over 268 plate appearances this year -- he's done well enough to see more than just a short-side platoon role even when the Giants are mostly healthy in the infield.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up three hits Flores went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Flores has knocked an extra-base hit in four of his last six games. He's put together a strong July, going 28-for-71 (.394) over 21 contests with five home runs and nine RBI. While he's not an everyday player, Flores continues to provide steady cover around the infield for the Giants. He's up to a .297/.357/.534 slash line with 13 homers, 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and 16 doubles through 76 games.

Lands on MiLB IL Flores was placed on the 7-day injured list due to an undisclosed injury, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard again Flores went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Reds.

Impact The Giants put just four runners on base, and Flores accounted for half of those instances. The infielder has taken advantage of playing more regularly in July, batting .417 (20-for-48) over 14 contests this month. He's also homered four times in his last four games. For the season, he's at a .292/.349/.526 slash line with 12 homers, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and 13 doubles over 232 plate appearances. Until LaMonte Wade (hamstring) is ready to play, Flores will likely see a majority of the time at first base.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers twice in win Flores went 2-for-3 with two homers and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Impact Flores got the scoring started with his first home run, a solo shot off Luke Weaver in the first inning, before tying the game at four with a three-run blast in the third. The 31-year-old Flores is now 5-for-8 with three home runs over his last two games. Since the All-Star break, he's batting .471 (8-for-17) with a 1.650 OPS. Overall, Flores' slash line is up to an impressive .292/.348/.520with 11 homers, 30 RBI and 28 runs scored across 224 plate appearances this season.

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.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
