Rest-of-Season Projections
Solid in no-decision
Flexen did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
While the White Sox failed to hang on to a one-run lead after Flexen departed, it was another strong start from the right-hander -- he's now allowed just two runs on six hits in his last two outings (10 innings). Overall, Flexen is 1-3 with a 4.85 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings in a swing role with Chicago. With Jonathan Cannon back in Triple-A, it seems likely that Flexen will remain in the rotation for now. He's currently slated to face the Rays on the road next week.

The Philadelphia Phillies are road warriors visiting the San Diego Padres in a key National League matchup, highlighting Michael Rathburn's MLB Bets and Expert Picks for Friday, April 26.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could soon join big club
According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Flexen could join the Rockies' starting rotation after starting Sunday for Triple-A Albuquerque.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander joined Colorado on a minor-league deal July 13 and allowed one run across 4.1 frames in his first start with the Isotopes. Even if Kyle Freeland returns from his dislocated shoulder this week, there should still be a spot in the rotation for Flexen since Connor Seabold was recently relegated to the bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Flexen was a fun story in 2021 returning from pitching in the KBO and becoming a tremendous fantasy value for those who threw a late dart on him with 14 wins and solid ratios. The expected stats let us know that Flexen would have a very tough time repeating his success in 2022, and they were right. His ERA did not balloon much, but he did lose his spot in the rotation as he struggled with walks and allowed too many baserunners. He did have nine quality starts and allowed multiple homers in 4 of his outings, but he was out of the rotation by early August while ending the season on a rather solid run in relief. He has the repertoire of a swing man whose changeup and slider work best when he gets ahead in the count as his fastball was too hittable last season. He should resume a spot in the back end of the rotation for Seattle while once again serving as a streaming fantasy option depending on the matchup as he is far from a set-it-and-forget-it fantasy pitcher.
