Flexen will have his next start skipped, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was originally supposed to start Saturday against Cincinnati, but instead the Mets will push up Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom to start Saturday and Sunday respectively. While there has been no official confirmation, this likely means Matt Harvey will start Tuesday's series opener in Chicago. Flexen owns a brutal 7.85 ERA and has allowed seven runs without completing five innings in each of his past two starts, so the Mets will use their upcoming off day to keep the ball out of his hands.
