Tyler Flowers (hamstring) absent from Braves' lineup versus San Diego

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers (hamstring) is absent from Monday's lineup against the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

Kurt Suzuki will start at catcher for Atlanta. Flowers may require a stint on the disabled list after leaving Sunday's contest with a strained right hamstring.

Flowers has been connecting well at the dish with a .407 batting average (11-for-27) so far in 2017. That's a significant improvement from last year's career-best .270 clip.
