Wilmer Flores News: Making return to lineup

Flores (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Before providing a pinch-hit sacrifice fly and playing an inning at first base Saturday, Flores had gone more than a week without making an appearance while he managed a left hamstring injury. The veteran infielder apparently checked out fine after his brief cameo, so he'll rejoin the starting nine while Dominic Smith heads to the bench.
