Placed on bereavement list The Rockies moved Herget (personal) to the bereavement/family medical emergency list Saturday.

Impact Herget spent time on the paternity list in late April, and he's now going to be away from the team again while dealing with a personal matter. The parameters of the bereavement list required Herget to miss at least three, and no more than seven, games. Seth Halvorsen was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move to fill Herget's spot in Colorado's bullpen.

Returns to active roster The Rockies activated Herget from the restricted list Monday.

Impact Herget was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Sunday because he spent an extra day with his growing family, but he's now back on the active roster. The sidearmer has permitted only two runs with an 11:2 K:BB in 12 innings for the Rockies this season.

Shifts to restricted list The Rockies transferred Herget (personal) from the paternity list to the restricted list Sunday.

Impact Herget spent the maximum three days on the paternity list, and since he wasn't ready to rejoin the Rockies ahead of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets, the organization opted to shift him to a different reserve list. The right-hander won't count toward the 40-man roster or accrue service time while he's on the restricted list, but the Rockies haven't indicated that the reliever will be in line for a long-term absence.

Goes on paternity list The Rockies placed Herget on the paternity list Thursday.

Impact Herget will be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family. Seth Halvorsen has taken his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener The Rockies will start Herget as an opener Tuesday against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander will pick up his third start of the season as an opener Tuesday, with Chase Dollander expected to follow in the bulk role. Herget has primary worked as a high-leverage arm for Colorado this season with three holds and a save, and he's been effective with a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 11 innings. He won't have any fantasy relevance Tuesday while working as an opener, however.
