right knee. The surgery was deemed necessary to allow Flores to fully recover and be ready for the next season.

weeks. This means that Flores will likely miss the remainder of the regular season and any potential postseason
games for the Giants.

production will be hard to replace. Possible options include shifting other infielders around or calling up a
player from the minor leagues.
