Chris Flexen

Chris Flexen endured a tough outing in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out six over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, marked by control issues, slightly improved his season ERA to 5.50 and WHIP to 1.41, but the five walks are a glaring concern. Despite a decent strikeout count, Flexen's high walk rate continues to undermine his fantasy value. His 4.85 FIP suggests some underlying struggles that aren't fully captured by traditional metrics, making him a risky play in most fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him given his inconsistency and control problems this season.

Chris Flexen had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a concerning trend for Flexen, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 5.69, with a WHIP of 1.37 across nine starts. His inability to strike out batters at a high rate, evidenced by a mere 6.6 K/9, combined with a 4.95 FIP, suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck but also to underlying performance issues. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Flexen in their rotations, as his current form and metrics indicate limited upside and potential for further detrimental outings.

Chris Flexen delivered a lackluster performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers, as Flexen's season ERA nudged slightly down to 4.85, but his other metrics like a 1.31 WHIP and a low 5.16 K/9 continue to paint a grim picture. Given these numbers, Flexen remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially without signs of imminent improvement. His role as a starter might be secure for now, but fantasy managers should consider other options with higher upside.

Chris Flexen delivered a solid performance in the White Sox's 9-4 victory over the Rays on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed no earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out two over five innings. This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Flexen's rocky start to the season, marked by a 5.11 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in his previous starts. His ability to limit the Rays to minimal hits is a positive sign, but his low strikeout rate (4.7 K/9) and high FIP (5.53) continue to cap his upside. While this performance might not signal a complete turnaround, it could be a step in the right direction for Flexen, making him a watchful hold in deeper fantasy leagues.
