Chris Flexen struggles again in loss to Pirates

Chris Flexen took another loss Saturday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in the White Sox's 6-2 defeat to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing, while not disastrous, continues a troubling trend for Flexen, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.82. His performance this year, characterized by a low strikeout rate (6.6 K/9) and a high FIP (5.08), suggests that he's not missing many bats and is often at the mercy of his defense and ball-in-play luck. Fantasy managers should view Flexen as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups. His lack of dominance on the mound limits his upside significantly.
