Wilmer Flores Stats

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores is getting the start at first base on Thursday. The veteran is hitting seventh in Game 5 of the Giants' National League Division Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Right-handed reliever Corey Knebel is serving as the opener for Los Angeles with left-hander Julio Urias, who usually starts, also set to pitch. Urias could enter the game right after Knebel, or Los Angeles could theoretically use a second relief pitcher after the right-hander. Flores drew a walk and scored a run in two plate appearances against Urias in the second game of the series.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores is heading to the bench for Game 3 of the NLDS against Max Scherzer and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kris Bryant will be manning first base for the game with Evan Longoria at the hot corner and LaMonte Wade Jr. in left field. Flores started each of the first two games of the series and went 0-for-7 with a walk, a strikeout and a run scored. The 30-year-old was a key contributor for the team this year. He appeared in 139 games and slashed .262/.335/.447 with 18 home runs, 53 RBI and 57 runs. We likely haven't seen the last of him this series.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list Sunday morning and was immediately inserted into the lineup, playing first base and batting sixth. He has a favorable matchup against lefty Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs. Flores has slugged 17 homers this year in 349 at-bats and figures to see playing time against left-handed pitching going forward. He's most useful to fantasy managers in daily lineup formats.
