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.
