Chris Flexen Stats

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reported Tuesday that the Seattle Mariners would be willing to trade either starting pitcher Chris Flexen or Marco Gonzales. Flexen is in the final year of his contract and Gonzales is under contract for another two seasons with a $15 million club option for 2025. Both were important pieces in the Mariners' rotation in 2022, with Flexen compiling a 3.73 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 16.1% strikeout rate over 137 2/3 innings and Gonzales posting a 4.13 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 13.2% strikeout rate over 183 IP. Regardless of where they land, both pitchers offer minimal fantasy upside due to high WHIP's and low strikeout rates.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen delivered in a high-pressure situation Saturday, allowing just one run on six hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings to help extend Seattle's relevance to Game 162. He struck out one batter and took a no-decision in the 6-4 victory. Flexen has been remarkably consistent all year, and he's now pitched at least five innings in 23 consecutive starts. His strikeout rate is low at 125 in 179 2/3 innings pitched, but he's a reliable innings-eater worthy of fantasy rosters in the right formats.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen won his 14th game of the season in Monday's blowout win over the Oakland Athletics, throwing five innings and giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts. Flexen got a tough start in this one, allowing a three-run home run to Seth Brown in the first inning before settling down. Flexen's now tied for fifth in wins in the major leagues, and he has returned an excellent value for fantasy managers with his 3.67 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 30 starts.
