Jesus Flores felt better on Saturday, but he was held out of the lineup due to residual effects of his work on Friday. The catcher took two foul balls off his mask and felt headaches and nausea. "It's like, I feel tired," Flores explains to the Washington Post on Saturday. "I think it's from the pressure I had last night in the head." Wil Nieves started in his place. Tests showed that Flores did not suffer a concussion.

In the offseason, the Washington Nationals spent $6.25 million to acquire free agent catchers Paul Lo Duca and Johnny Estrada. On Friday they put both players on the disabled list. On Friday night Will Nieves got the start against right-hander Ricky Nolasco, but expect to see one of the Nats top prospects Jesus Flores in a platoon with Nieves.

May 9, 2008
Jesus Flores is expected to get called up from Triple-A Columbus today, according to CBSsports. The team will make the move with both Paul Lo Duca and Johnny Estrada on the shelf due to injuries.

March 24, 2008
Johnny Estrada is throwing the ball, and according to the Washington Post, he's feeling better. But given the development the Post reported on Sunday, that Wil Nieves was sent to minor league camp, Acta confirmed this morning that Jesus Flores will stay with the team for opening day and serve as the backup to Paul Lo Duca. "According to our schedule, Estrada is not going to be out for so long, and Flores is not going to be hurt as much with the time he's going to be up here," Acta said. As soon as Estrada is healthy enough to catch, Flores will make his way to the farm.

January 29, 2008
With the Nationals signing of Johnny Estrada, Jesus Flores will now begin the year in the minor leagues. The team likes the former Rule 5 pick's potential, but he is just 23 and could use some developmental time in the minors.
