Chris Flexen News
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chris Flexen has been recalled to take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The right-hander looked strong during his two starts in Triple-A Albuquerque. He signed with the Rockies a few weeks ago after being released by the Seattle Mariners. Flexen struggled during his four starts with Seattle, but has a favorable matchup on Saturday. Despite that, Flexen won't be a recommended streaming option in Coors Field for Saturday's slate.
Colorado Rockies right-handed pitcher Chris Flexen had a strong start for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday and could be an option for the Rockies as soon as this week. Flexen threw five shutout innings tonight, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out six. The Rockies signed Flexen last Thursday after he was released by the Seattle Mariners earlier in the year. He had a dismal 7.71 ERA, 1.86 WHIP, and 29:19 K:BB ratio in 42 IP with the M's. Although he has had decent seasons in the past, pitching in Coors Field will take away any long-term fantasy appeal Flexen had. He could be a streaming option on the road depending on how he looks, but for now it is better to steer clear.
The Colorado Rockies signed free-agent right-hander Chris Flexen to a minor-league deal on Thursday. He will be reporting to Triple-A Albuquerque. Flexen began the year with the Seattle Mariners, but he was cut after posting a 7.71 ERA (6.66 FIP), 1.86 WHIP, 19 walks and 29 strikeouts in 42 innings over 17 appearances (four starts). In six major-league seasons, Flexen has appeared in 104 games and made 68 starts, so he'll provide the Rockies with starting depth in the minors to begin the second half of the season. As a swingman for the Mariners in 2021 and 2022, the 29-year-old was much better, posting a 3.66 ERA (4.15 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, two saves and 220 strikeouts in 317 1/3 innings over 64 appearances (53 starts).
