Flores is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Flores will head to the bench Sunday after starting the past 13 games and posting a .553 OPS. Mauricio Dubon will start at the keystone Sunday for San Francisco in the series finale.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 27-year-old was reinstated from the injured list Thursday but will head to Triple-A with Alex Dickerson (shoulder) rejoining the active roster Sunday. Wade is 3-for-12 with a double and a walk in five big-league appearances this season.

Rizzo went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

It's been a relatively slow start for Rizzo, but he's shown more signs of life in May, as he has an .870 OPS this month compared to the .768 mark he posted in April. Those numbers aren't too far off from the .756 OPS Rizzo recorded in the shortened 2020 season, but he had a .925 OPS in his last full season back in 2019. Still just 31 years old, the slugging first baseman is certainly capable of upping his production the rest of the way.

Cabrera (hamstring) said he was feeling better Saturday and is hopeful surgery will not be required, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera also acknowledged that doctors told him he could potentially be out at least four weeks due to the injury. The 35-year-old infielder has appeared at third base (27 games) and first base (nine) for the Diamondbacks.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Freeman is only hitting .221 and has lacked consistency at the plate, but he's getting the job done in terms of power and is just one of four National League hitters to have reached the 10-homer plateau. The star first baseman has also hit safely in six of his last seven contests while extending his hitting streak to three games.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

The 27-year-old started the scoring Saturday with a 420-foot, two-run blast to right-center field during the opening frame. Olson has a .260/.340/.528 slash line with nine home runs, seven doubles, 25 RBI and 19 runs through 35 games this season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a home run in Saturday's loss against the Royals.

Abreu was involved in a nasty collision Friday but still got the start Saturday, and he responded by launching his eighth homer of the season -- off Mike Minor -- and hitting safely for the seventh time over his last eight contests. The slugging first baseman is hitting .333 with three homers and 14 RBI across 39 at-bats this month.

Santana went 2-for-3 with a home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Saturday's win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

Santana launched his eighth homer of the season in the top of the ninth inning, taking Jose Ruiz deep. Santana has homered in back-to-back games for the second time in 2021 and also extended his RBI streak to four appearances.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the 4-0 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

Guerrero hit his 10th home run of the season off Aaron Nola in the first inning. This marks back-to-back games and three of the last five with a home run for Guerrero. The 22-year-old is off to a terrific start, leading the Blue Jays with a .308 average and 1.015 OPS. His 10 homers has him tied for fifth in the American League. In addition, he's drawn the fifth-most walks (27) in all of baseball.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs during Saturday's 9-0 win against the Angels.

The 25-year-old now has three straight games with two RBI and has driven in 11 runs in his past seven contests. Dalbec is 9-for-25 with three homers and three doubles during that stretch as he's heated up after a tough start to the season.
