Flexen (2-15) took the loss against the Padres on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen ran into trouble throughout the contest, allowing the leadoff man to reach in four of his five innings of work. The right-hander surrendered the first two runs of the contest on a two-run shot from Xander Bogaerts in the bottom of the second and was again victimized by the long ball in the fourth as San Diego took a 3-0 lead. Flexen went on to allow four runs on the night, something he hadn't done in any of his previous five starts, while also issuing multiple walks for the sixth time in his last seven outings. He's now lost his last 12 decisions (spanning 23 starts).

Flexen did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-6 win over the A's. He allowed six hits and two walks in five scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen had one of his better outings of the season as he completed five innings without allowing a run for just the second time this season. The 30-year-old struck out a season-high eight batters and lowered his ERA to 5.09 for the season. Despite pitching well and exiting with the lead, Flexen couldn't get the win, and he has now gone 23 straight appearances (22 starts) without recording a win.

Flexen did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Red Sox, allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
The only runs allowed by Flexen came on a pair of solo home runs -- a second-inning blast by Conor Wong and a Wilyer Abreu longball in the sixth. Flexen has now recorded quality starts in three of his last four appearances, logging a respectable 4.15 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 21.2 innings during that stretch. Even with the recent uptick in performance, the 30-year-old's lack of run support keeps him well off the fantasy radar. He's tentatively scheduled to take on the Athletics next weekend.

Flexen (2-14) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Flexen labored through three and a third innings, requiring 95 pitches (54 strikes) to retire 10 Orioles. Though he wasn't able to complete the fourth frame, Flexen was still tagged for a league-leading 14th loss. The right-hander has a 5.36 ERA in 137.2 innings in 2024.

Flexen (2-13) allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings to take the loss in Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, which was completed Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Garrett Crochet started before the game was put into a weather delay just four pitches in. Flexen stayed on turn by entering the game officially as a reliever and turned in a decent performance for his second outing in a row. He's now gone four appearances without yielding a home run. Flexen is at a 5.29 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 94:55 K:BB through 134.1 innings over 28 outings (25 starts). He'll likely return to a starting role for his next game, which is projected to be at Baltimore early next week.

Flexen will be the de facto starter Wednesday for the resumption of Tuesday's suspended game versus the Rangers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's starter, Garrett Crochet, threw only four pitches in the top of the first inning before the game was delayed and eventually suspended. Flexen had been slated to start the regularly scheduled contest Wednesday, but he will now be the first to take the ball in the suspended game and the White Sox will go with a host of relievers in the nightcap.

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.
