Wilmer Flores News
San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores had a strong game in the 10-5 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and a strikeout. Flores has been hot with the bat of late, but he's currently only been in San Francisco's lineup when a left-hander is on the mound. The 31-year-old Venezuelan veteran is hitting a strong .346 (9-for-26) with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored in his first nine games of the season. Perhaps his strong play to open the year will get him more playing time, but until that happens, he's tough to roster in shallow mixed leagues on the short side of a platoon at first base.
San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores is sitting out for the third straight game on Monday. David Villar is starting at third base and is hitting sixth, while LaMonte Wade Jr. is at first base and batting leadoff against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Michael Kopech. Flores has only played in one game so far in 2023, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, and it looks like he'll only be in San Fran's starting lineup when the team faces a left-handed pitcher. That will significantly limit his fantasy upside in deeper leagues. The 31-year-old veteran infielder's stock is definitely down after he struggled to a .229/.316/.394 slash line with a .710 OPS, 19 home runs, 71 RBI and 72 runs scored in 151 games for the Gigantes in 2022.
With right-hander Gerrit Cole on the mound for the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores got the start at the hot corner and hit in the heart of the lineup, batting third. He went hitless in three at-bats but managed a walk during the 5-0 loss. The start likely signals that Flores will be the starting third baseman moving forward, not just a platoon option against left-handers. With everyday playing time from the middle of the lineup, the 31-year-old veteran will look to improve his numbers from 2022, where he hit .229, slugged 19 homers, drove in 71, and scored 72 times. If manager Gabe Kapler continues using Flores in this role, he has more fantasy value than initially thought, specifically in deep leagues, and should contribute power and counting stats.
