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.--Spencer Seguin

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores and outfielder Jung Hoo Lee will take a seat on Thursday afternoon as the Giants will face Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Flores has enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, holding a .242/.286/.515 slash line with 16 total hits and six long balls. He tallied 23 RBI and scored 11 runs. Lee has also been swinging a hot bat as he has slashed a strong .338/.395/.647 line with 10 doubles and three round-trippers across the first 17 contests of the regular season. Fantasy managers should expect both Flores and Lee to likely rejoin the starting nine on Friday evening when they face the Angels. However, the Angels are scheduled to send out lefty Tyler Anderson, which could keep Lee out of the lineup. Instead, Luis Matos will cover center field, and Casey Schmidt will cover first base. The Giants should be faded in DFS facing Sanchez, who enters Thursday with a strong 3.12 ERA.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores has been crushing the ball all over the park to begin the season. He continued his power surge during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Flores tied the game with a two-run home run off right-hander Will Warren in the second inning. He would later add on two more runs with a single in the sixth. Flores finished his day 2-for-4 with RBI in what would end up being an 8-4 loss. The veteran slugger is now slashing .275/.302/.267 with six home runs and 19 RBI this season. Flores has five hits and seven RBI over his last three games, so he's really picking up steam right now.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants DH Wilmer Flores had a big night in an 8-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings on Wednesday. Flores went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI to help lead his team to the win. The veteran is off to a strong start in 2025, hitting .273 with five homers, seven runs, and 14 RBI over 44 at-bats. Flores had just four homers in 214 at-bats during the 2024 season. While his days of being a must-start fantasy option are over, he's worth a look in deeper leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.--Matt T - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores entered the game in the ninth inning of Sunday's contest as a pinch-hitter and took the first pitch he saw to right field for an RBI single to complete the three-game sweep over the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. Flores is off to a nice start to his 2025 campaign with 12 RBI, five runs scored, and four home runs in 35 plate appearances. Flores is slashing .273/.314/.636 in the young season and will continue his hot start as the Giants host the Cincinnati Reds for a three-game series. Flores has been known to sit against right-handed pitchers occasionally, so fantasy managers should consider riding the hot bat in the short term or adding him in deeper league formats.--Nicho Roessler - RotoBaller
