Wilmer Flores Out For Remainder Of Season

By Steve Adams | September 7, 2017 at 3:24pm CDT

The Mets announced on Thursday that infielder Wilmer Flores’ season is over due to a broken nose that he sustained this past weekend. As MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo tweets, the team had hoped that Flores would be able to return at some point this week, but today’s reexamination of the injury apparently altered that trajectory.

Flores, who turned 26 last month, turned his second consecutive above-average campaign at the plate, although this also makes for a second straight injury-shortened season as well. In 362 plate appearances, Flores batted .271/.307/.488 (105 OPS+, 106 wRC+) with a career-high 18 homers.

Flores posted a 35.4 percent hard-hit rate that is easily a career-high — a mark that was buoyed by improving his hard contact against right-handed pitching by a considerable seven percentage points. A right-handed hitter, Flores was characteristically strong against lefties this year, but he also turned in a respectable .262/.306/.459 mark against same-handed pitching, which bodes well for his offensive output in future seasons.

This offseason will be the second trip through arbitration for Flores, who will be in line for a nice raise on this year’s modest $2.2MM salary. With four years and three days of Major League service time, Flores won’t reach the open market until the completion of the 2019 season, at which point he’ll be a relatively young free agent (heading into his age-28 season).

    Wilmer is a huge bright spot with the Mets and never gets any deserved credit.

    Trade Flores for a corner outfielder. Flores really is not a good infielder and I am tired of watching the pitchers have to throw extra pitches because easy outs are missed.

      They already have corner outfielders. They need a legit center fielder.

      I’d like to see something with the Twins to get Byron Buxton.

      Crybaby Flores and a good starting pitcher for Buxton and…..?

    Let me guess, Mets fans. This is also Chase Utley’s fault.
