Wilmer Flores DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants first baseman/designated hitter Wilmer Flores had a career night on Friday, going 3-for-5 with three home runs and eight RBI in a 9-1 win over the Athletics. It was the third consecutive game with multiple hits, and he's now up to 10 home runs for the season. What's a bit more surprising and a big reason why the Giants are off to such a good start is that the right-handed hitter is up to 41 RBI on the year, which puts him tied with Aaron Judge for the most in baseball. The 33-year-old owns a .266/.318/.468 slash line with a .344 wOBA and 120 wRC+ so far, but he'll take on the A's and Luis Severino on Saturday, whom he is 0-for-7 off of in his career.

San Francisco Giants first baseman/designated hitter Wilmer Flores went 2-for-3 with a walk and a home run in the Giants' 5-2 win over the visiting Brewers on Monday night. Flores' solo shot in the sixth inning snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Giants the lead they would hold to the end of the game. The big blast was not only pivotal in securing the win, it also continued a great start to the season for Flores, who now has seven homers in just 23 games after managing just four long-balls in 71 games last year. The 33-year-old is hitting .220 with a .325 wOBA on the year and has been especially effective at Oracle Park, where he has a .360 home batting average and .428 home wOBA on the season. He's worth look if you need power in NL-only leagues or are looking for a short-term fill-in at 1B.

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.

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.

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.
