Flexen allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out five during the loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen gave up a run in each of the first two innings Friday but settled down and turned in a quality start, his first since July 29. He began August with a 9.31 ERA across 9.2 innings. Flexen has not earned a win since May 8; in 19 appearances since then, he's registered a 5.75 ERA. He'll carry a 5.34 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to be at home against Texas.

Flexen (2-12) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one over four innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen was decent over the first two innings, but a three-run third took this start off the rails. It was his 18th start in a row without a win, and it's the third straight outing in which he's failed to complete five innings. The 30-year-old right-hander is now at a 5.46 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 85:51 K:BB through 122 innings over 26 appearances (24 starts). Flexen's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Tigers, but his limited fantasy relevance will continue to wane if he keeps struggling to pitch deeper into games.

Flexen allowed three hits and four walks while striking out one over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen was generous, but the Cubs didn't strike until he was out of the game. The right-hander threw just 40 of 78 pitches for strikes while failing to complete five innings for the fourth time in his last five appearances. He's on a 17-start winless skid, and he's pitched to a 5.34 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 84:50 K:BB over 118 innings over 25 appearances (23 starts) in 2024. Flexen's next outing is projected to be at Houston.

Flexen (2-11) allowed eight runs (six earned) on seven hits and three walks over 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen gave up a pair of runs in the first inning before the Twins broke out with a six-run second. He failed to complete at least three innings for the first time since June 14. In 16 starts since his last win May 8, Flexen has gone 0-8 with a 6.09 ERA. His season ERA is up to 5.53 with an 83:46 K:BB through 114 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Cubs.

Flexen did not factor into the decision in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Royals, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The Chicago right-hander collected his seventh quality start of the season and was in line for a win after the White Sox broke a tie in the bottom of the sixth, only to watch his bullpen blow the lead. After allowing 10 homers over his previous nine starts, Flexen kept the ball in the park in this 97-pitch performance, lowering his season ERA to 5.13 across 112.1 innings. He currently lines up to face the Twins in Minnesota for his next appearance this weekend.

Flexen (2-10) took the loss against the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen struggled throughout the contest, allowing multiple baserunners in four of the five frames in which he took the mound while throwing just nine of his 23 first pitches for strikes. The right-hander has now allowed multiple runs in six consecutive starts and has failed to get through five innings in each of his last two. Flexen has also issued multiple walks in three straight outings and currently holds an 18:11 K:BB in July to go along with a 5.60 ERA.

Flexen (2-9) yielded seven runs on four hits and five walks over 4.2 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen allowed two runs through four innings before the Royals broke out with a five-run fifth. It was the second time he gave up seven runs in a start this year, with the last one coming against the Yankees on May 19. His season ERA jumped from 4.82 to 5.22 with the ugly start and he's produced a lackluster 75:41 K:BB through 101.2 innings. Flexen is currently lined up to start in Texas next week.

Flexen (2-8) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen allowed a run in the first inning and was charged with another as an inherited runner came around to score in the seventh. He yielded 10 hard-hit balls on 78 pitches but was able to limit the damage and has now logged three consecutive quality starts despite failing to record a win in any of them. The 30-year-old will take a 4.73 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 71:36 K:BB across 97 innings into the All-Star break.

Flexen allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen served up a solo homer to Trevor Larnach in the first inning but yielded just one more run over the remainder of his outing. He picked up his third quality start over his past four appearances, though he doesn't have a victory over that span. In fact, Flexen's last win came 12 starts ago on May 8. He's been giving the White Sox good length of late, though, going at least 5.2 frames in each of his past four starts.

Flexen did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians, allowing six runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen entered the sixth inning in a 3-3 tie but an error by Paul DeJong led to three unearned runs before he finished the frame at 101 pitches. It wasn't the most appealing quality start, but Flexen has now logged two in his past three outings. The 30-year-old has not recorded a win since May 8 and owns a 5.08 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 63:33 K:BB over 85 innings. He lines up for a road matchup with the Marlins this weekend.
