Flores was optioned to the Triple–A New Orleans Zephyrs to begin the 2016 season.[11] On May 14, 2016, Flores was recalled to make a spot start against the Washington Nationals, logging three scoreless innings before departing due to injury. He was placed on the disabled list with a strained pitching shoulder the same day as a result.[12] On September 6, Flores was designated for assignment by the Marlins.[13] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to New Orleans on September 8.[14] Flores elected free agency following the season on November 7.[15]
