A source told the New York Post there is a good chance Mets infield prospect Wilmer Flores will be called up in the next week to fill in at third base for the injured David Wright (hamstring). However, Flores isn't expected to be promoted Tuesday.
Flores is batting .322 with a .532 slugging percentage, .890 OPS, four triples, 15 home runs, 35 doubles and 86 RBI in 106 games for Triple-A Las Vegas. Flores is considered the Mets' fourth-best prospect by MLB.com.
