Jimmy Herget - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to fill setup role Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Herget will see more opportunities late in games after closer Seth Halvorsen (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list...

Impact Schaeffer tabbed Victor Vodnik and Juan Mejia as the main candidates to pick up saves while Halvorsen is out, but Herget will move up a rung in the bullpen pecking order and could serve as one of the Rockies' top setup men. The 31-year-old right-hander has covered 58.2 innings over his 39 appearances for Colorado this season, logging a 2.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB while collecting two holds.

Claimed by Colorado The Rockies claimed Herget off waivers from the Cubs on Friday.

Impact Herget has now gone from Atlanta to Chicago and now Colorado since September. The righty was one of the better relievers in the American League in 2022 with the Angels when he posted a 2.48 ERA and 0.91 WHIP while notching nine saves, but he has a 4.57 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over the last two seasons and has spent substantial time in the minors.

Exits 40-man roster The Cubs designated Herget for assignment Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Rob Zastryzny, who was claimed off waivers. Herget himself was a waiver claim of the Cubs but never made an appearance for them.

Claimed and optioned by Cubs The Cubs claimed Herget off waivers from Atlanta and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Herget made eight appearances for Atlanta before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 19, posting a 4.38 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 12.1 major-league innings. He was DFA'd by Atlanta on Wednesday, and after being claimed off waivers by the Club, he will stay in Triple-A and report to Iowa. Brennan Davis (ankle) was recalled from Iowa and transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed off 40-man roster Atlanta designated Herget for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Cavan Biggio, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett. After being acquired from the Angels in early May, Herget made eight appearances out of Atlanta bullpen, logging a 4.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB in 12.1 innings. He was optioned to Gwinnett on Aug. 19 and will likely stick around with the Triple-A club if he clears waivers.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors Atlanta optioned Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Herget's latest stint in the big leagues lasted a little less than a week and he was charged with one run over three innings covering two relief appearances. He's the roster casualty as Atlanta makes room for Reynaldo Lopez, who will return from the injured list to start Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Back in majors Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A in late July but will rejoin the big club ahead of Tuesday's contest in San Francisco. Herget has made six appearances in the majors this season and has a 4.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to minors Atlanta optioned Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Herget, 30, recently returned from a shoulder injury and holds a 4.82 ERA and 10:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings in the majors this season. He's being replaced on the roster by Darius Vines, who gives the bullpen more length.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back from injured list Atlanta reinstated Herget (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Right shoulder inflammation has kept Herget on the shelf since June 8, and he's now been cleared to return to Atlanta's bullpen after pitching a scoreless inning in the Florida Complex League. The 30-year-old has allowed three earned runs in 7.1 innings in the majors this season and should work as a middle reliever while in Atlanta. Daysbel Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent out on rehab assignment Atlanta sent Herget (shoulder) to its Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Herget has been shelved since early June with right shoulder inflammation but is ready to test things out in a game setting. He'll eventually move up to a higher affiliate and will probably need a handful of rehab appearances given how much time he's missed.

JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list Atlanta placed Herget on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.

Impact Herget struck out two batters and gave up a solo home run during his most recent outing Wednesday, and he appears to have come away from the game with a shoulder injury. He'll remain sidelined until at least June 21, and Daysbel Hernandez will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Herget's spot in the bullpen.

JUNE 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to big leagues Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact He had just been optioned Wednesday but is back a day later to take the roster spot vacated by A.J. Minter (hip), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Herget has tossed three scoreless frames with a 4:1 K:BB during his time with Atlanta this season.

Optioned to Triple-A The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Impact Herget had allowed one run in four innings while striking out six batters during spring training, but the Angels will send him back down to Triple-A for Opening Day. Herget posted a 4.66 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 29 frames in the majors last season, and he could very well be one of the first arms promoted if the Angels' bullpen depth is tested during the season.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Sunday Herget will start Sunday's game against the Tigers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Scheduled starter Reid Detmers was scratched due to an illness Sunday, so Herget will end up serving as an opener. Kenny Rosenberg will enter after Herget works an inning or two.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags save Monday Herget pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Monday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

Impact Herget has pitched 4.2 scoreless innings since he was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sept. 1. The save was his first of the year -- Carlos Estevez was presumably unavailable after having pitched both Saturday and Sunday. Herget has a 4.57 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB with five holds and two blown saves over 21.2 innings this season.
