Fantasy Impact

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Flexen, whose ERA stood at a bloated 4.95 with a 1.52 WHIP after this game. Despite his struggles with consistency and a poor win-loss record of 3-15 prior to this game, performances like this showcase his potential upside. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, however, as his season-long metrics suggest volatility, but this start might be a sign of late-season adjustments finally paying dividends.

Chris Flexen struggled in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Padres, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a continuation of Flexen's disappointing season, where he now holds a 5.15 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP across 29 starts. His inability to limit base runners and a lackluster strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9 are major concerns for fantasy managers. Given his high ERA, poor win-loss record, and minimal strikeout potential, Flexen remains a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. His season-long struggles suggest little upside for rostering him in standard formats.

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.

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.

Chris Flexen allowed two runs on six hits over six innings on Sunday against the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Flexen added six strikeouts and one walk. It was one of his better starts on the season and he still carries a 5.26 ERA on the year. He will face the Athletics in his next start.

Chris Flexen struggled mightily in Monday's 13-3 defeat against the Orioles, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over just 3.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance further inflates his already bloated ERA to 5.36 and WHIP to 1.54 for the season. Given his consistent struggles, including a dismal 2-14 record and a low strikeout rate of 6.5 K/9, Flexen's fantasy relevance remains minimal. His high ERA and WHIP, combined with a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio of 1.74, suggest that fantasy managers should steer clear unless he shows significant signs of improvement.
