Flexen was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Brad Brach returning to the club on a one-year deal, Flexen loses his 40-man spot and will now be subjected to waivers. Flexen was always a longshot to survive the winter on the Mets' roster, as he continued to struggle at the big-league level in 2019 despite an uptick in velocity and was not brought back in September when rosters expanded.

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was promoted from Triple-A on Thursday and recorded two outs without allowing a run in his lone appearance. The 25-year-old has a 6.59 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB in 13.2 major-league innings this season.

Flexen was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He has logged over two innings in three of his last five appearances at Triple-A and figures to work as a long reliever in the majors. Flexen has a career 8.15 ERA and 2.14 WHIP in 67.1 MLB innings.

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen joined the big club in mid-June and posted a 3.68 ERA with nine punchouts over 7.1 innings before being demoted. Jeurys Familia and Luis Avilan were activated from the injured list, while Luis Guillorme was recalled from Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Flexen was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Puma reports that the Mets have given up on Flexen becoming a major-league starting pitcher, but they want to give him a shot to carve out a role as a reliever. He has given up 12 runs in 11 innings as a big-league reliever.

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday after giving up a walkoff single in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen worked around a leadoff double to Ryan Braun to keep the score tied in the 17th inning, but Braun got him again in the 18th with a bases-loaded one-out single to send the Brewers home victorious. The Mets need fresh arms after the marathon, so Tim Peterson and Tyler Bashlor were called up to take the place of Flexen and Ryan O'Rourke.

Flexen was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen will join the Mets for his second stint in the majors this season, the first of which came in a spot start a couple weeks ago. The 24-year-old allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.1 innings during that appearance, but should be used out of the bullpen this time around with Luis Avilan (elbow) landing on the injured list.

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse following his start against the Cardinals on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was likely destined for a short stay on the roster regardless of his outing Saturday, but his performance certainly didn't help his case to stick around. He lasted just 4.1 innings and gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and four walks. He failed to strike out a single batter. Daniel Zamora will take his place on the roster.

The Mets formally recalled Flexen from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Flexen will move up to the big club as the replacement in the rotation for Jacob deGrom (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. DeGrom will undergo an MRI on Monday, which should provide more regarding the length of his stay on the IL. With a team off-day coming up April 25, the Mets would be able to get by without a replacement for deGrom until April 30 versus the Reds. With that in mind, there's a decent chance Flexen is sent down to the minors after Saturday's outing to afford the Mets more roster flexibility over the next week and a half.

The Mets will recall Flexen from Triple-A Syracuse to start Saturday's game against the Cardinals, SNYtv.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen will have huge shoes to fill, as he'll be tasked with replacing Jacob deGrom, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday after experiencing complications with his elbow in a recent throwing session. DeGrom is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, at which point it should be known whether a replacement for him will be needed beyond this weekend. The Mets aren't exactly teeming with quality rotation depth in the high minors, so Flexen might only need to avoid a complete implosion Saturday to earn another start if deGrom is in fact out for more than the minimum amount of time.
