Flores will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against the A's, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York reports.

Analysis:

Slade Heathcott (quad) joined Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) on the disabled list Saturday, with Flores recalled in a corresponding move. Flores hit .294/.389/.425 with four homers in 42 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the year, and it looks like he may get a look in a platoon role in left with Brett Gardner moving to center.
