Flaherty was promoted to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
Flaherty opened the season at Double-A Springfield and had no problem adjusting to the higher level of competition. Over 10 starts (63.1 innings) he pieced together a 1.42 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. In that time he posted a solid 62:11 K:BB and surrendered just two home runs. Flaherty may lack a plus pitch, although his changeup is close, but what he lacks in high-end velocity or a knee-buckling breaking ball he makes up for with excellent command and pitchability. However, he is still likely behind Luke Weaver and Marco Gonzales in terms of MLB rotation options in the second half of the season.
