Rotowire
Flores went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Flores was part of the Giants' early rally in the first inning and added his solo shot in the third. This was his second multi-hit effort in a row, and he continues to have a regular spot in the lineup versus southpaws while also playing against some right-handers. Flores' playing time versus could drop with Bryce Eldridge now on the major-league roster, however. For the season, Flores has a .243/.310/.385 slash line with 16 homers, 70 RBI, 43 runs scored and one stolen base over 119 contests.
Giants' Wilmer Flores: Stepping in for injured Smith
Rotowire
Flores will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Flores has mostly occupied the short side of a platoon with Dominic Smith (hamstring) since the All-Star break, but with Smith landing on the injured list Saturday, Flores should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis. The 34-year-old heads into Sunday's contest having produced a .238/.306/.375 slash line with 15 home runs, 67 RBI, 41 runs and one stolen base in 444 plate appearances on the season.
Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
The homer was Flores' 15th of the year, and he now has one hit in four of his past five outings. The veteran slugger had 46 RBI through May 31, but he's cooled down dramatically ever since. Over his last 201 plate appearances (55 games), Flores is slashing a frigid .230/.303/.343 with five homers, five doubles and 20 RBI since the start of June.

Giants' Wilmer Flores: Goes yard in win
Rotowire
Flores went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
Flores got the start at designated hitter, and he made an early impact by taking southpaw Nestor Cortes deep in the first inning. Flores was one of three Giants to hit a homer in the opening frame, and that ultimately was all the offense the team needed. Playing in a short-side platoon role, Flores will likely continue to be limited for playing time. The veteran infielder has gone 5-for-16 (.313) over just seven games in August. On the year, he's slashing .248/.316/.383 with 13 homers, 63 RBI, 37 runs scored and one stolen base over 395 plate appearances.
