Flynn was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Marlins were forced to turn to Flynn on Thursday with Jarred Cosart (oblique) unable to go, and Flynn gave up five runs on eight hits in just four innings to take the loss to Pittsburgh. He'll head back down Friday, suggesting Cosart may not miss another turn, though the team has yet to confirm.
