Chris Flexen has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs and has been promoted to the major leagues following a successful start with Iowa. He will be filling a spot in the pitching rotation after the team dealt with injuries. Flexen, who previously played for the White Sox, is enthusiastic about returning to Chicago and is poised to take on the role of a middle and long reliever after an impressive stint in the minors.
"I looked at it as an opportunity to pitch," Flexen said. "We had our struggles. It was a tough season, but I made a lot of great relationships there. Now I'm looking forward to being in Chicago again."
Flexen likely be used in middle and long relief after going 3-0 with a 1.54 ERA in five starts with Iowa. He was 3-15 with a 4.95 ERA in 30 starts and three relief appearances last year for the White Sox, leading the team with 160 innings.
