Flynn was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.

Flynn was beat out by Ryan Madson for the final spot allocated for relief pitching on the Opening Day roster. He gave up just four earned runs and struck out 14 over 15 innings this spring, but will begin 2015 in the minors in hopes of receiving a call to the bigs when the need arises.

Flynn and fellow pitcher Reid Redman were traded to the Royals on Friday in exchange for Aaron Crow, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.

Flynn had appeared in just six big league games during career, but he does own a respectable 3.49 ERA over 92 minor league starts. He should get a chance to compete for the fifth starter's job during spring training unless the Royals sign someone to fill the spot during the offseason.

The Marlins were forced to turn to Flynn on Thursday with Jarred Cosart (oblique) unable to go, and Flynn gave up five runs on eight hits in just four innings to take the loss to Pittsburgh. He'll head back down Friday, suggesting Cosart may not miss another turn, though the team has yet to confirm.

Flynn made his first start of the season at Pittsburgh on Thursday, and did not produce, surrendering five runs and eight hits in just four innings.

Brian Flynn blanked the Red Sox for three innings, allowing just one hit, on Tuesday.

It was a split-squad, but Flynn was facing the good one, making this an especially nice outing for him. He's still a long shot in the Marlins' fifth starter competition, though. Tom Koehler is more experienced, Andrew Heaney is more talented and Brad Hand has the advantage of being out of options. It's hard to imagine Flynn being picked over all three of them.

Brian Flynn, Tom Koehler and Brad Hand are among the candidates for the Marlins' fifth starter spot, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald.

The Marlins' president of baseball operations Michael Hill mentioned those three names as guys who will be given a chance to win a rotation spot this spring. Top prospects Andrew Heaney and Justin Nicolino were also noted as guys who will pitch some innings this spring, but Hill said both are likely to start the season in the minors.

He had a nice year in the minors, but it's clear he's not ready to be trusted at the big league level yet. Flynn gets the Nats on the road this weekend.
