Flores (hamstring) will not be activated from the disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Dodgers, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

The Mets were fairly confident that Flores would be ready to take over at first base Friday, but it seems that they want to give him a bit more time rehabbing in the minor leagues. It doesn't seem to be a health issue, but it could be just a way to get him a few more at-bats prior to coming up to the big leagues. The 24-year-old is hitless over the past two days with Double-A Binghamton, so he'll stay their to get a bit more comfortable at the plate. Despite the minor delay, Flores still seems to be very close to a return to the Mets lineup.
