From Rotoworld: Flexen recorded his first major league victory after allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Rangers. The Mets held on to win 5-4 after Flexen left. It was Flexen’s third major league start after discouraging outings against the Padres and Rockies. He still seems like a weak play in NL-only leagues at the moment.
Eflin notched his first win of the season by holding the Braves to two runs in seven innings on Tuesday. Eflin, who had been 0-3 with a 6.13 ERA in eight starts, was making his first appearance for the Phillies since the end of May. He’ll likely get a chance to stay in the Phillies rotation, but he remains a poor bet for fantasy purposes.
