Flexen (3-4) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out a single batter through four innings during Sunday's loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

With a 7.85 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 5.9 K/9 through his first eight career starts, Flexen is clearly overmatched at the highest level. After all, the 23-year-old righty topped out at just seven starts at the Double-A level before joining the Mets. At best, Flexen is a potential flier against favorable opponents. But in most settings, it's probably best to fade him entirely considering his current form. He lines up to face the Reds at Citi Field in his next start.
