Rest-of-Season Projections
Eight strikeouts in no-decision
Flexen did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-6 win over the A's. He allowed six hits and two walks while striking out eight over five scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Flexen had one of his better outings of the season as he completed five innings without allowing a run for just the second time all year. The 30-year-old struck out a season-high eight batters and lowered his ERA to 5.09. Despite pitching well and exiting with the lead, Flexen couldn't get the win, and he has now gone 23 straight appearances (22 starts) without recording a win.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Flexen was a fun story in 2021 returning from pitching in the KBO and becoming a tremendous fantasy value for those who threw a late dart on him with 14 wins and solid ratios. The expected stats let us know that Flexen would have a very tough time repeating his success in 2022, and they were right. His ERA did not balloon much, but he did lose his spot in the rotation as he struggled with walks and allowed too many baserunners. He did have nine quality starts and allowed multiple homers in 4 of his outings, but he was out of the rotation by early August while ending the season on a rather solid run in relief. He has the repertoire of a swing man whose changeup and slider work best when he gets ahead in the count as his fastball was too hittable last season. He should resume a spot in the back end of the rotation for Seattle while once again serving as a streaming fantasy option depending on the matchup as he is far from a set-it-and-forget-it fantasy pitcher.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely trade chip
Flexen is a candidate to be traded by the White Sox this summer, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old joined Chicago on a one-year deal in December and would likely be an affordable rental piece. Flexen posted an 8.78 ERA in his first three starts of the season, but his 4.54 ERA in eight outings since is more palatable. The right-hander won't be on the fantasy radar without additional improvement, regardless of whether he's traded.
