| 7/29/25 | Cubs designate reliever Flexen for assignment. Jesse joined ESPN Chicago in September 2009 and covers MLB for ESPN.com. MILWAUKEE -- The Chicago Cubs designated reliever Chris Flexen for assignment on Tuesday while recalling righty Gavin Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa to take his place on the roster. Flexen, 31, had a great June but struggled this month, giving up runs in his last five appearances, including two in an 8-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

| 7/26/25 | Chicago Cubs' Righty on the Wrong Side of History in Rivalry with White Sox. Chicago Cubs' right-hander Chris Flexen was on the wrong side of some rivalry history on Friday night as the Cubs lost to the Chicago White Sox 12-5 at Rate Field. The loss dropped the Cubs to 60-43 while the win improved the White Sox to 38-66. The history was made in the fourth inning when Flexen gave up a two-run homer to veteran Mike Tauchman, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com: This was the first home run ever hit by an ex-Cubs batter (Tauchman) off an ex-White Sox pitcher (Flexen), or vice-versa, in a matchup of the two Chicago teams h/t @EliasSports This was the first home run ever hit by an ex-Cubs batter (Tauchman) off an ex-White Sox pitcher (Flexen), or vice-versa, in a matchup of Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/history/... |

| 7/02/25 | Chris Flexen's revival is the best story on the 2025 Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have a number of relievers dominating in 2025, but Chris Flexen's performance has been the most impressive. With all due respect to Drew Pomeranz — who has had a ridiculous season and an even more ridiculous comeback story — Chris Flexen deserves the most flowers for what he's given the Cubs' bullpen in 2025.

| 6/29/25 | Bullpen ready to contribute as Cubs chase series win vs. Astros. While the Cubs' seven-run fourth inning laid the foundation for an easy 12-3 road victory over the host Houston Astros on Saturday, how Chicago was able to set up its bullpen for the series rubber match on Sunday was tied to the opener. Veteran right-hander Chris Flexen worked four shutout innings of relief after the Cubs fell into a seven-run deficit on Friday and his performance enabled Chicago to preserve their bullpen for the final two games of the series.

| 6/12/25 | One name from the Cubs' past could suddenly be back on their radar. The Chicago Cubs haven't been shy about adding veteran castoffs to their pitching depth this season, with the hopes that they can find a diamond in the rough. In the cases of Chris Flexen and Drew Pomeranz, it has worked as the veteran pitchers have been stacking scoreless innings while pitching out of the bullpen this season. Elsewhere, the Cubs' gamble on Kenta Maeda does not appear to be going well. Through 4 starts with the Iowa Cubs this season, Maeda has an ERA of 13.89.

| 6/02/25 | That’s What I Like: Chris Flexen, Hyesong Kim, Rob Refsnyder. Living in the Bold North, we only have grass for, like, 6 months out of the year. The rest of the year, our yards are filled with snow or dirt from the melted snow or sink holes from the melted dirt. Yet, like clockwork, the Y chromosomes in our neighborhood all synchronize on Sunday morning and make the men step out and mow their lawns. Imagine yearning to see green all winter and then when the faintest hint of green emerges, you shout at the top of your lungs, "REV IT UP!" and you begin cranking your two stroke with the ferocity of a teenager. Extra points if you mow your lawn three times a week. ENYWHEY. What else am I supposed to lead off with when it's June? Let's get you some players.

| 9/08/24 | As White Sox' historically bad season nears end, "you have to see big picture," assistant GM says. As the losses mount to unimaginable numbers and the end draws nearer to a season being put out of its misery, observers far and near marvel at the magnitude of 33-111, the White Sox' record after they lost two of three games to the Red Sox over the weekend. The Sox got a good start from Chris Flexen, scoreless relief from the bullpen and five runs in the ninth to break a 2-all tie. “Every day it's something new,” a former baseball executive told the Sun-Times over the weekend. In recent weeks, a collision involving left fielder Andrew Benintendi and third baseman Miguel Vargas – the major league player with a .170 batting average acquired at the trade deadline in a three-team deal that cost the Sox Erick Fedde, Michael Kopech and Tommy Pham – allowed three runs to score on former Sox Eloy Jimenez' pop-up in Baltimore.
