Giants Activate Wilmer Flores, Logan Webb From 10-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | May 29, 2021 at 5:45pm CDT

The Giants activated infielder Wilmer Flores and right-hander Logan Webb from the 10-day injured list.  Both players are slated to return to action tonight, as Webb is scheduled to start tonight’s game with the Dodgers and Flores is in the lineup as the starting first baseman.  Righty Nick Tropeano and infielder Jason Vosler were optioned to Triple-A to create roster space.

Both Flores and Webb will end up missing the minimum 10 days due to what (thankfully) appears to have been minor injuries.  Flores hit the IL due to a right hamstring strain, while Webb was sidelined with a right shoulder strain.

Flores’ return comes at a particularly opportune time for the Giants, as first basemen Brandon Belt and Darin Ruf are both on the 10-day IL themselves.  The club can now at least tread water at the position with an experienced first baseman like Flores, plus Austin Slater and LaMonte Wade Jr. can also fill in at first base in a pinch.  Flores is off to something of a slow start this year, with a .219/.308/.343 slash line over 120 plate appearances that is well off his .277/.323/.469 mark from 2016-20.

San Francisco has gotten strong results from its starting pitchers this year, Webb included.  The right-hander has a 4.09 ERA/3.50 SIERA over 44 innings, with a strong 58.7% grounder rate and a strikeout rate (25%) that is slightly above the league average.

    WELCOME BACK TO MY BROTHER WILMER!!!

    We’re not actually related, in case there was any confusion.

    I was the one that taught him to write poetry, listen to sad music, and other things that make one cry.

    He’s a very emotional man, and THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

      But…well…what exactly is wrong with writing poetry? C’mon. Haven’t we all tried that? At least once? Especially with that cute artsy girl when we were in college.
      You know the one I’m talking about, man.

      Or…nah?

          Now, I’m not claiming it was successful.
          Just that I – ya know – tried it.
          A couple times.

      Yeah it was such an easy schedule, even had two series wins against those pathetic Padres. So glad we get to play horrible teams like the friars or else we would have no chance this season.

      Not the toughest schedule, but c’mon it’s hard not to be optimistic when a team is 11 games over .500 at the end of May with a strong run differential. And, they’ve played 30 road games vs 21 at home, so that’s going to offset a bit of the “easy” schedule.

      Not saying it’s sustainable with their shaky bullpen, but you sound like a salty Padres Homer who’s upset that the team that’s supposedly “rebuilding/retooling” is right there with your team who’s gone all-in

        Funny that @TonyGwynnSD19 doesn’t take the Giants seriously. He should look at the Dodgers. They took them seriously enough to juggle their rotation specifically for their series against the Giants.
