Wilmer Flores Fantasy Stats

Per the team, the Detroit Tigers have re-assigned pitcher Wilmer Flores (shoulder) to minor-league camp. The 24-year-old has been rehabbing throughout camp after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection back in January for shoulder soreness. Flores pitched poorly last season at Triple-A Toledo, compiling an 8.51 ERA across 25.1 innings pitched for the Mud Hens, and he'll likely operate there once again when he's back to health. The former non-drafted free agent was a former MLB Pipeline Top 100 prospect. However, he's likely to be more of an organizational depth piece for Detroit until he proves he can pitch well against higher levels of competition.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Wilmer Flores (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 23-year-old is working his way back from a AC joint issue in his shoulder. Before going down, Flores was struggling to the tune of a 6.04 ERA in 13 relief appearances in Triple-A. The Tigers still have high hopes for Flores despite his recent struggles. He came into the league as a starting pitcher, but is transitioning into a relief role this season.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores (shoulder) is starting at first base and is batting fifth on Monday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander James Paxton. Flores was initially held out of the lineup after injuring his shoulder in the series finale against the San Diego Padres on Sunday, but the team's updated lineup has Flores in there. The 32-year-old Venezuelan veteran had a strong 2023 campaign in the Bay Area by hitting .284/.355/.509 with an .863 OPS, a career-high 23 home runs and 60 RBI in 126 games played and he's off to a 2-for-9 start with two RBI and three runs scored in the first four games of the 2024 season. Flores has just six career at-bats against Paxton and is searching for his first hit against the lefty.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Flores suffered a left shoulder contusion when he fell into the dugout while trying to make a catch in foul territory. The injury doesn't sound serious and this shouldn't force Flores onto the injured list. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Flores as day-to-day. LaMonte Wade could see more action at first base until Flores is ready to play again.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (knee) returned to Cactus League action on Friday against the Chicago Cubs, starting at first base and batting third in the lineup. Flores returned to the field on Friday after he was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League lineup due to minor knee soreness. The fact that the 32-year-old is already back on the field heading into the weekend suggests he won't open the 2024 regular season on the injured list next week. The Venezuelan veteran hit an impressive .284/.355/.509 with an .863 OPS, a career-high 23 home runs and 60 RBI in 126 games in 2023 in his third year in the Bay Area. At the very least, Flores should be a lineup regular for the Gigantes this year against left-handed pitching at either first base or designated hitter.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (knee) was scratched from the team's Cactus League lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels due to a little knee soreness. Flores said "it's nothing." Flores should be considered day-to-day for now and should be ready for Opening Day next Thursday versus the division-rival San Diego Padres. Despite the 32-year-old Venezuelan putting up the best offensive numbers of his career last year for the Giants -- .284 average, 23 home runs and 60 RBI in 126 games -- playing time is going to be an issue for him in 2024. Flores was a bit fortunate to put up the numbers that he did, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he hits lefties well. At worst, he should be in some sort of short-sided platoon role in San Francisco's infield.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores enters spring training this year without a clear role once again. Last year, he had a stretch when he mostly came off the bench, but then he ended up being a lineup regular and the team's best hitter due to injuries. Until this past week when the team signed right-handed slugger Jorge Soler, Flores looked headed for right-handed designated hitter duty and time at first base. "Wilmer is a tough one, man. I mean, that guy hits righties, hits lefties. He's so well respected, not only around the league but certainly in this clubhouse. You don't always have a full complement of players. Guys are going to get hurt, too, but I'll figure out a way to get him in there," manager Bob Melvin said. The 32-year-old hit a career-high 23 homers in 2023, but the addition of Soler is going to make it much tougher for him to find regular ABs.

San Francisco Giants first baseman/designated hitter Wilmer Flores cranked a solo homer in a 5-1 loss to the Tigers Monday. In the sixth inning, Flores blasted his fifth home run in the last 10 games following the All-Star break off of right-handed reliever Jose Cisnero. The dinger was his 13th homer run of the season. After Monday's game, the 31-year-old is now slashing .295/.353/.892 with 32 RBI in 217 trips to the plate in 2023.

San Francisco Giants first baseman/designated hitter Wilmer Flores finished 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win against the New York Mets. The 31-year-old went deep to knot the game at 2-2 during the fifth inning after Brandon Nimmo ran out of room to flag the ball down in center field. Flores returned to the starting lineup in this one versus his former team after missing a few weeks with a left foot contusion. The infielder is now batting .255 with a .778 OPS, eight homers, and 24 RBI across 161 at-bats this season. Flores is limited defensively and tends to hit mostly versus left-handed pitching, making him a lukewarm fantasy option in most competitive leagues.

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (foot) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a foot contusion. The Giants recalled Tristan Beck in a corresponding move. Flores will miss at least the next 10 days. The 31-year-old slashed .258/.324/.452 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, and 20 runs across 173 plate appearances. The IL stint comes at bad timing for Flores, who was on a five-game hitting streak and slashing .385/.500/.615 over 11 games in June. Casey Schmitt will handle third base duties for the Giants while Flores is sidelined. Schmitt is slashing .273/.282/.397 with two home runs, 20 RBI, 15 runs, and two stolen bases over 33 games in 2023.
