Flexen has been named the starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Marc Carig of Newsday reports..

EDGE Analysis

Flexen made his first major-league start Thursday against the Padres, surrendering three earned runs on five hits and four walks with two strikeouts over three tough innings. Despite his poor performance, the 23-year-old will be granted another start, this time in the brutal pitching environment of Colorado.

Flexen (0-1) allowed four runs -- three earned -- on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters through just three innings during Thursday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen threw just 69 pitches and was clearly a little overmatched Thursday. However, in the 23-year-old righty's defense, he had made just seven starts above the High-A level. Even with a sterling 1.66 ERA and 9.3 K/9 over seven outings with Double-A Binghamton, he probably shouldn't have been expected to show well in his debut at the highest level. A return to the minors is likely.

Flexen has been officially recalled ahead of his start Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

He's been tabbed as the Mets' scheduled starter since Zack Wheeler (forearm) landed on the disabled list, but the Mets have now officially added him to the roster. Flexen will be making his major league debut after making the leap from Double-A. He posted a sterling 1.66 ERA and a 0.73 WHIP over 48.2 innings at Double-A Binghamton prior to being promoted.

Flexen will be called up from Double-A Binghamton and start Thursday's game against the Padres, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Thursday's scheduled starter Zack Wheeler being placed on the disabled list with a stress reaction in his right arm Monday, Flexen will be called upon to make the jump from Double-A for his major-league debut. The 23-year-old is enjoying a fine season with Binghamton, as he currently sports a shiny 1.66 ERA over 48.2 innings.

Flexen (knee) is on the 7-day DL with High-A St. Lucie, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo reports.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent surgery in early March to remove a bone chip from his right knee, but could return later this month. Last year was his first full season since undergoing Tommy John surgery, and while he should report to St. Lucie when healthy, he logged 134 innings there last year, so he could quickly get promoted to Double-A.

Flexen underwent surgery earlier in March to remove a bone chip from his right knee and will be sidelined for another two weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like the surgery was only a clean-up procedure, so it shouldn't be viewed as a major setback for Flexen. The 22-year-old will likely open the 2017 campaign with High-A St. Lucie or Double-A Binghamton.

Flexen (knee) has been scratched from the game Sunday with a sore knee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although it is still unclear, it doesn't seem too serious, and he'll likely push his appearance back to later in the week as he rests his knee. Regardless, he'll probably serve as organizational depth in 2017.

Flexen was added to the Mets' 40-man roster on Friday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets opted to protect Flexen from the Rule 5 draft. The 6-foot-3 righty notched a 3.56 ERA but posted just a 16.6 percent strikeout rate in 25 starts at High-A last year. He is a potential back-end starter down the road.
