The previous report was that he had been released. Flynn is still technically a member of the Rangers organization, albeit on a non-guaranteed minor league contract, and he could potentially step into the bullpen mix if there is a positive COVID-19 test among the 60-man group that will be gathering next week in Arlington, Texas.

Flynn was in Rangers camp this spring on a minor league deal and has now been cut loose with MLB lifting the transaction freeze on Friday at noon ET. There will be many more moves coming throughout the weekend. Flynn, 30, struggled to a 5.22 ERA and 22/17 K/BB ratio in 29 1/3 innings last season with the Royals.

Flynn will receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. In 29.1 innings for the Royals last season, he struggled to a 5.22 ERA and a 22:17 K:BB.

Flynn was designated for assignment by Kansas City on Friday, and after failing to draw interest while on waivers, he'll be assigned to Triple-A. He owns a 3.57 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 22.2 innings this season for the Storm Chasers.
