Mets' Chris Flexen: Sent to Triple-A

Flexen was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Flexen threw an inning out of the Mets' bullpen Sunday, so the team decided to replace him with a fresh arm and add Tyler Bashlor to the relief corps in his place. Flexen has already had two stints with the Mets this season, so there's a good chance he will be back with the big club again at some point this summer.
