Chris Flexen fights control issues in crosstown clash

Chris Flexen navigated through a tricky outing in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed no earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out only one over four innings. Despite not allowing any runs, Flexen's high walk rate continued to plague him, limiting his ability to pitch deep into the game. His season-long struggles with a 5.34 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP suggest that this performance, while superficially better, doesn't mark a significant turnaround. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high WHIP and low strikeout rate offer limited upside. His inability to secure wins, standing at just 2-11, further diminishes his appeal in most fantasy formats.
