Wilmer Flores: Everything you need to know

Flores went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies. The 34-year-old lined a single to right field in the second inning before coming around to score on a three-run homer by Casey Schmitt. Since Bryce Eldridge was called up in mid-September, Flores has appeared in six of the Giants' last 12 games, batting .286 with three RBI, three runs scored and a home run in just 14 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .242/.307/.380 with 71 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 long balls and a stolen base across 462 plate appearances in 124 outings this season.

Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total 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 while Bryce Eldridge is on the major-league roster. 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.

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.
