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.
