Betsy Helfand of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Las Vegas RHP Chris Flexen underwent knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

It is unknown which knee was operated upon, but it is worth noting Flexen previously had surgery on his right knee to remove a bone chip.

There is no timetable for Flexen’s return, but with it happening so late in the season, chances are Flexen’s 2018 season is over.
