Flores hasn't appeared in the major leagues since the 207 campaign with the Angels. He hit .143/.308/.143 across nine games at Triple-A Rochester prior to his release.

The deal, which was first reported by Daniel Álvarez Montes, does not include an invite to big-league camp. Flores turns 29 later this month and hasn't appeared in the majors since 2017, but he's coming off a strong showing in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Injuries had thinned Rochester's outfield depth, so the organization plunked Flores from the independent-ball ranks for further reinforcement. The 27-year-old has 119 games' worth of MLB experience on his resume, submitting a .204/.281/.256 line across 331 plate appearances.

Flores will serve as organizational outfield depth for the Red Sox. The 26-year-old has appeared in 119 games in the majors over the past three seasons, most notably a 104-game stint with the Brewers in 2016, but has struggled to a .204/.281/.256 slash-line across 331 plate appearances during that stretch.
