Flynn (groin) is listed as the starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Flynn is fully healthy and set to make his 2018 Cactus League debut after ending the 2017 season on the 60-day disabled list due to a groin strain. The 27-year-old, who posted a 5.40 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 50 innings with Triple-A Omaha last season, will look to earn a low-leverage bullpen gig with an impressive showing in camp.

Flynn was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a left groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Flynn was lifted from Monday's game after 2.1 innings with a groin injury, and further tests confirmed the issue would indeed require some time on the shelf to recover from. Flynn has apparently been dealing with the injury for a couple weeks now; the fact that he's been able to pitch through it could indicate the issue isn't anything overly serious. Still, he remains without a timetable for his return at this point. Eric Skoglund was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Flynn was removed after 2.1 innings with a groin injury Monday against the Rays, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Flynn had been on a roll in the minors, but he told reporters he has been dealing with a groin injury for about two weeks. This was Flynn's first major league appearance of the season, as he was just called up before Monday's game. It's unclear yet if this injury will send Flynn to the disabled list; with roster expansion coming up, such a move may be unnecessary if the injury proves to be minor.

Flynn was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Flynn has improved his performance with Omaha as of late. Over his last 10 games he's posted a 2.84 ERA and struck out 31 batters over 31.2 innings. He'll get a shot to to see if his recent success can translate to the majors for the first time this season, as he hasn't appeared in a major league game during the 2017 campaign.
