Flowers went 4-for-4 with two solo home runs Friday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers accounted for half of the offense in the series opener, but it wasn't enough to get the job done. He left the yard in the sixth and ninth innings, boosting his home-run total to three on the season. The 33-year-old backstop is hitting .378 with four extra-base hits and four RBI over 13 contests in 2019.

Flowers will start at catcher and bat seventh Thursday against the Diamondbacks, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers saw an expanded workload behind the plate over the past week, but he'll likely be stuck in a timeshare moving forward after Brian McCann (hamstring) returned from the injured list Wednesday. McCann is sitting out for the day game after a night game, but he could re-enter the lineup in Flowers' place Friday in Cleveland.

Flowers is not in the lineup Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers sits after starting three straight. Alex Jackson gets the call behind the plate.

Flowers (hand) went 1-for-4 with a base hit in his return to the lineup Tuesday in the Braves' 7-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Playing for the first time in three days after previously nursing a sore hand, Flowers stepped in as the Braves' starting catcher and should keep his spot atop the depth chart at least until Brian McCann (hamstring) returns from the injured list. With Wednesday's series finale postponed due to inclement weather in Colorado, Flowers will get a de facto off day before likely starting Thursday's game against the Mets in Atlanta.

Flowers (hand) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers was hit in the hand by a pitch Saturday and hadn't played since then. X-rays were negative, and he's back in action after two days off, catching and batting eighth.

Flowers (hand) is available in an emergency Monday night against Colorado and could be back in the lineup by Tuesday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers dodged a significant injury over the weekend, and the team is pleased with the progress he's making. Although the Braves aren't comfortable with Flowers starting behind the dish just yet, he could take the field if absolutely necessary Monday night and may be ready to enter the lineup as soon as Tuesday.

Flowers (hand) is not in the lineup Monday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers took a fastball off his hand over the weekend, and while X-rays came back negative, he's still not ready to rejoin the lineup. With Flowers and Brian McCann, who is on the injured list with a hamstring injury, both unavailable, Alex Jackson will pick up a second straight start behind the dish.

Flowers (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers was hit by a 98-mph fastball on the hand Saturday night, but thankfully the X-rays came back negative. Brian McCann (hamstring) was placed on the injured list while Alex Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and will start behind the plate Sunday. Flowers indicated after Saturday's game he should be ready to go within a couple days.

Flowers had X-rays on his hand come back negative after being hit by a pitch in Saturday's 4-2 loss the Marlins, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers came off the bench after Brian McCann exited with a hamstring strain and was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat. Flowers remained in the game so the Braves wouldn't need to use their emergency catcher, though he was subbed out for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth. The 33-year-old expects to return to the lineup within a few days, which likely leaves Alex Jackson -- who will be recalled from Triple-A on Sunday -- to fill in behind the plate as McCann hits the injured list.

Flowers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Somewhat surprisingly, Flowers has only started three of Atlanta's first seven games, with Brian McCann getting a larger workload than expected in his return to the club. Flowers has been doing his part to ensure he's top of mind for manager Brian Snitker, however -- Friday's homer may have been his first extra-base hit and RBI of the year, but he's 5-for-10 overall.
