Chris Flexen shines, Sox triumph
by Chris Schommer | Sun, Sep 15th 9:23am EDT
Chris Flexen delivered a strong performance in Saturday's matchup against the Athletics, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing six hits and two walks, and striking out eight.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his solid outing, Flexen did not factor into the decision as the White Sox edged out the Athletics 7-6. This season has been a rough ride for Flexen, with a bloated ERA of 5.09 and a WHIP of 1.53, reflecting his struggles in finding consistent form. His performance on Saturday, however, was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to suppress runs and rack up strikeouts. Fantasy managers should note this outing as a positive sign, but given his overall season metrics, caution is advised when considering him for future starts. His high strikeout rate in this game is encouraging, but his season-long issues with control and susceptibility to hits may continue to limit his fantasy viability.
