ANALYSISCounsell also mentioned prospect
Cade Horton as a possibility, but Flexen, unlike Horton, is already on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster, giving him a potential edge. After changing his arm slot, Flexen posted a 1.16 ERA and 21:8 K:BB over 23.1 frames with Triple-A Iowa earlier this season and then tossed three scoreless frames this past Friday while working out of the bullpen against the Brewers. Imanaga's next turn comes up this weekend in New York versus the Mets.
