Tyler Flowers went 3-for-3 with a solo homer in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.
The three hits matched a career-high. With Josh Phegley continuing to produce in the minors, Flowers could use a few more nights like this one. Even after Friday, he owns an underwhelming .216/.275/.372 batting line on the year. Jun 8 - 1:49 PM

Tyler Flowers (back) is in the starting lineup Monday against the Cubs.

Flowers hasn't played since last Wednesday due to back spasms, but he's confident that it isn't as severe as what he dealt with during spring training. The 27-year-old backstop is batting just .202/.269/.345 with four homers and a .614 OPS in 37 games this year.

Tyler Flowers was scratched from the White Sox lineup on Saturday due to back spasms.

The injury is likely just day-to-day, as Flowers has started the previous four games for the White Sox. Flowers is hitting .202/.269/.345 with four homers and 12 RBI.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers hit a three-run homer off Justin Grimm in the sixth inning to give the White Sox all of their runs in Thursday's win over the Rangers.

Flowers is hitting just .186, but at least four of his 13 hits have been homers. Really, it's pretty close to what should have been expected from him. Maybe he'll end up batting .220 or so, but he'll only be useful in the power categories.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

It was Flowers' third home run of the season but his first since April 3, and he only had three hits since that time. Some had pegged the 27-year-old as a sleeper candidate this season, but after Wednesday's game he's still hitting just .195. There's some power potential there, though, and he'll get the lion's share of the starts behind the dish for the Sox, so there's some upside. But it's best left for AL-only leagues for now.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers went 2-for-3 and homered in a second straight game Wednesday versus the Royals.

Flowers took Ervin Santana deep today. On Monday, he homered off James Shields for the only run in the White Sox's 1-0 win. We don't expect Flowers to hit for average, but it wouldn't be a total shock if he leads AL catchers in homers this year.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers homered for the game's only run in the White Sox's win over the Royals on Monday.

It's Flowers' power that's earned him a shot as a starter, but he went 44 at-bats without a homer this spring after hitting one in his very first game on Feb. 23. Ideally, he'll give the White Sox about 20 bombs from the catcher spot this year. He's not going to hit for average, though.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers homered Saturday as the White Sox secured a 9-0 Cactus League win over the Dodgers.

Flowers is fully recovered from the left hand fracture that he suffered late last season and is all set to open the 2013 campaign as Chicago's starting catcher. The talented 27-year-old could carry value in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Tyler Flowers - C - White Sox

Tyler Flowers (hand) has been cleared to resume offseason workouts.

Flowers suffered a hairline fracture on his left hand at the end of last season when he was hit by a pitch, but hasn't reported setbacks and expects to be ready for spring training. Once viewed as one of the better catching prospects, the White Sox are counting on Flowers for a full-time role in 2013. He batted .213/.296/.412 with seven home runs and a .708 OPS in 153 plate appearances while filling in for A.J. Pierzynski this past season.
