32+1⁄3 innings.

On July 7, 2021, Fleming combined with Collin McHugh, Diego Castillo, Matt Wisler, and Peter Fairbanks to no–hit the Cleveland Indians. However, since the feat was achieved in a truncated seven–inning doubleheader game, it was not recorded as an official no-hitter. [7] Fleming made 26 appearances for the Rays in 2021, which included 11 starts. In 104+1⁄3 innings pitched, he logged a 10–8 record and 5.09 ERA with 65 strikeouts and 1 save. [8] In 2022, Fleming made only 10 appearances (3 starts) for the Rays, missing time with an oblique injury. In 35.0 innings of work, he struggled to a 2–5 record and 6.43 ERA with 29 strikeouts. [9]

In 2023, Fleming began the year with the Rays, pitching in 11 games before he was scratched from a scheduled start against the Boston Red Sox and placed on the injured list with elbow soreness on June 2. [10] An MRI revealed cartilage buildup on his elbow bone as well as inflammation, and he was transferred to the 60–day injured list on June 10. [11] He was activated on August 12. [12] Following the season on November 4, Fleming was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Triple–A Durham. [13]

On November 6, 2023, Fleming was claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies. However, he was not tendered a contract for 2024 and became a free agent on November 17. [14]

Pittsburgh Pirates

On February 14, 2024, Fleming signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. [15] In 17 games for Pittsburgh, he compiled a 5.68 ERA with 13 strikeouts across 19 innings pitched. On May 14, Fleming was designated for assignment by the Pirates. [16] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple–A Indianapolis Indians on May 18. [17]

Personal life

Fleming and his wife, Katie, met at Webster University (where she played volleyball) and were married in St. Louis in November 2020. [18]
