Rafael Flores went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two runs scored, and three runs batted in on Thursday in an 8-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Flores hit his first big league home run off of Dodgers' starter, Justin Wrobleski, with one out in the fifth inning. The young catcher added a double to give him his first career two-hit effort. The Pirates are hurting behind the plate at the moment, so Flores has an opportunity in the immediate future to get a number of reps. His three at bats on Thursday were his first of the season after going 3-for-15 in seven games a year ago.
The Pirates optioned C Rafael Flores to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fantasy Impact
Flores will add depth behind the plate in the Pirates organization. He will open the season in Triple-A.
