Adam Rubin's Farm Report for July 5
Right-hander Chris Flexen is making up for time lost at the beginning of the season.
Drafted by the Mets in the 14th round in 2012 and handed an over-slot signing bonus to keep him from enrolling at Arizona State, Flexen did not get started this season until May 17. That's because he underwent surgery during spring training to clean out bone chips in a knee.
After making three starts with Class A St. Lucie, Flexen then tossed a seven-inning shutout in his Double-A debut on June 7. He is now 3-1 with a 1.69 ERA in four starts since joining Binghamton.
