Jun 8 2024Atlanta placed Herget on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 30 2024Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 29 2024Atlanta optioned Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll head back to the minors to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach, who was called up from Double-A Mississippi to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals. Herget's stint with Atlanta lasted just four days, with the right-handed reliever making two appearances and striking out four over three scoreless innings.
May 25 2024Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was acquired from the Angels on May 2, and he has since allowed three earned runs across seven innings with Gwinnett. He will now come up to give Atlanta a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Darius Vines, who was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
May 2 2024Herget was traded from the Angels to Atlanta on Thursday in return for cash considerations, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget will join Atlanta after being designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Sunday. The right-hander produced a 3.97 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 11.1 innings in 10 appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Herget will report to Triple-A Gwinnett and look to impress in order to earn an opportunity with Atlanta's major-league roster down the road.
Mar 7 2024The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 17 2023Herget will start Sunday's game against the Tigers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 11 2023Herget pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Monday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 1 2023The Angels recalled Herget from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was excellent for the Angels in 2022 but has struggled to a 5.82 ERA in 17 major-league innings this year. The right-hander will likely operate in a low-leverage relief role.
Aug 19 2023Herget was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake following Saturday's doubleheader with Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget will return to Salt Lake after getting called to serve as the team's 27th man Saturday. The right-hander appeared in Game 2 of the doubleheader, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two batters over one inning in the team's 18-4 loss.
Jul 19 2023The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget has yielded nine earned runs on 19 hits and five walks over 16 innings of relief this season at the major-league level. Chase Silseth will take his place on the roster and serve as a spot starter Wednesday against the visiting Yankees.
Jul 17 2023Herget was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was a key reliever with the Angels last season but has struggled during his time with the big club in 2023, holding a 5.17 ERA in 15 relief appearances. He's take Chris Devenski's spot on the roster.
Jun 15 2023The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After allowing three runs over the course of one inning in his appearance Wednesday against Texas, Herget will head back to Triple-A. Herget has a 2.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in the minors this season, so it's possible he returns to Los Angeles later this year if he produces similar numbers in Salt Lake. Kolton Ingram was promoted from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move to take Herget's spot in the Angels' bullpen.
Jun 11 2023The Angels recalled Herget from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget has made the trip from Salt Lake to Anaheim a few times already this season and owns a 4.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 12.1 innings with the big club. He'll likely work mostly in low-leverage spots out of the bullpen while he's up with the Angels.
May 21 2023The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels are adding three new names to the pitching staff, and Herget is one of the arms being sent down to make room on the roster. The right-hander is likely to be up and down throughout the 2023 campaign as a low-leverage relief option.
May 9 2023The Angels recalled Herget from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget is taking the place of Cesar Valdez after Valdez was designated for assignment. The right-hander struggled while allowing six runs over 8.2 inning of work in his previous time up with the Angels, but he'll get another chance to help in the mid-to-late innings for the Los Angeles bullpen this time around.
Mar 18 2023Herget could begin the season as the Angels' closer with offseason signee Carlos Estevez struggling in Cactus League play, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Estevez signed with the Angels in December and was tabbed as the team's potential closer by general manager Perry Minasian early in camp, but the veteran reliever has struggled with a 19.64 ERA and 10 walks over 3.2 innings this spring. Estevez and the Angels have indicated a lack of concern about his Cactus League struggles, but if the team ultimately decides to go in a different direction for ninth-inning work to start the season, Herget would be the logical choice to assume the role. The right-hander was effective as part of a closer committee after Raisel Iglesias was traded last season, tallying eight saves, a 1.10 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP over 32.2 innings. However, Herget hadn't saved any MLB games prior to 2022, so his sample size of success as a closer is relatively small.
Oct 1 2022Herget picked up a save against Texas on Friday, striking out two batters in a scoreless inning of work. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget tossed nine of 12 pitches for strikes in the outing and fanned a pair for his ninth save. The right-hander has recorded three saves in the past four days and four since Sept. 20. Ryan Tepera has registered two saves in that span, but Herget looks to have a solid grip on the closer position for the remainder of this season and possibly into next.
Sep 28 2022Herget picked up the save with a clean ninth inning in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget entered the game with a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning and needed 14 pitches to retire the Athletics in order and record his seventh save of the season. In 10 September outings, Herbet has two saves and four holds while surrendering just one earned run over 12.1 innings. He should remain in the mix for high-leverage opportunities to close out the season.
Sep 20 2022Herget allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget took two blown saves and added three holds over his previous six outings. Interim manager Phil Nevin opted to give Herget another closing opportunity in a fairly safe spot with a three-run lead, and the 29-year-old right-hander got the job done. One of his blown saves in the aforementioned six-appearance span occurred when he allowed an inherited runner to score -- he's given up only one run in his last 8.2 innings. For the season, Herget owns a 2.42 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 59:15 K:BB while adding six saves, six holds and three blown saves in 63.1 innings.
Sep 6 2022Herget suffered a blown save after he pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing an inherited runner to score while giving up one hit and striking out a batter in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Tigers. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget entered the game with one out in the eighth inning and runners on second and third base, ultimately giving up an RBI groundout to Javier Baez before getting Spencer Torkelson swinging to end the frame. The blown save was his second of the season and first in his last five save chances. Since the beginning of August, the right-hander has allowed two runs (one earned) while striking out 20 batters over 19 innings in 13 appearances. Herget has gone five-for-seven on save opportunities this year and now owns a 2.60 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 54 punchouts over 55.1 innings in 38 appearances.
Aug 31 2022Herget walked two and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget has picked up saves in each of his last three appearances, which makes him look like a slight favorite for closing duties in the Angels' committee. He made it interesting Wednesday with walks to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton before retiring the next three batters in order. Herget ends August having allowing just one run in 17 innings with an 18:6 K:BB. He's been effective with a 2.70 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB through 53.1 innings overall, adding five saves, three holds, a blown save and a 2-1 record through 36 appearances.
Aug 30 2022Herget earned a save against the Yankees on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter while allowing zero runs over two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lefty Jose Quijada opened the ninth inning with the Angels clinging to a one-run lead, but he exited after retiring Anthony Rizzo for the first out. Herget came in and worked around a two-out single to close the contest and pick up his second save in the past three days. Quijada's last save came over two weeks ago, and Ryan Tepera hasn't saved a game since Aug. 8, so it's fair to assume that Herget has worked his way to the top of the committee. Through 10 appearances in August, he has given up only one earned run while registering a 16:4 K:BB over 16 innings.
Aug 28 2022Herget picked up a save against Toronto on Saturday, striking out two batters in two perfect innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Shohei Ohtani tossed seven splendid scoreless innings but needed relief after throwing 109 pitches. Herget came on and completed the shutout with two outstanding frames of his own. The right-hander didn't allow any baserunners and threw 15 of 24 pitches for strikes. Herget has completed at least two innings in four of his past five outings and has allowed only one run while posting a 10:3 K:BB over 9.2 frames during that stretch. He isn't typically the Angels' closer of choice, but with three saves on the campaign, Herget could get a few more chances to close down the stretch.
Aug 6 2022Herget pitched a clean 10th inning Friday to pick up the save against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget had zero strikeouts and allowed zero baserunners. Jesse Chavez was used in a save situation in the ninth inning, but he gave up three runs. Meanwhile, Jose Quijada, who got a save earlier in the week, pitched the eighth inning and Ryan Tepera was unavailable. This looks like a full-blown committee for now after the Angels traded their previous closer, Raisel Iglesias, to Atlanta at the deadline.
Jul 31 2022The Angels reinstated Herget (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: To clear room for Herget on the 26-man active roster, the Halos optioned Chase Silseth to Triple-A Salt Lake. Herget was sidelined for the past five and a half weeks due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he pitched effectively over a recent three-appearance rehab assignment for Double-A Rocket City, covering four innings while allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks and striking out four.
Jul 22 2022Herget (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Rocket City on Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget began throwing bullpens last week and has been cleared to return to game action with the Double-A club. The right-hander has been on the injured list for a month due to his shoulder injury and suffered a setback in late June, so it's possible that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to rejoining the Angels.
Jul 14 2022Herget (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget said that he felt "great" following the bullpen, which was his first since he went on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement June 22. The right-hander was originally expected to need close to a minimum stay on the IL, but continued discomfort necessitated a longer break from throwing. Herget is next expected to either toss another standard BP or progress to a live bullpen session.
Jul 10 2022Herget (shoulder) is slated to throw off a mound during the coming week, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was placed on the 15-day IL on June 22 with a right shoulder impingement. He wasn't expected to be out long, but the right-hander suffered a setback in the final days of June and was subsequently shut down. He now appears just about ready to resume mound work, which should put him on track to return to the big-league club shortly after the All-Star break.
Jun 29 2022Herget has been shut down from throwing after continuing to feel discomfort in his injured right shoulder, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was placed on the injured list June 22 with a right shoulder impingement. The original expectation was that his injury wouldn't be long term, but it now appears likely that the right-hander won't be activated when first eligible July 7 given the setback. Herget posted a 3.72 ERA and 0.99 WHIP while collecting one save and two holds across 25 appearances before being sidelined.
Jun 22 2022Herget was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's matchup with the Royals when he allowed two runs on one hit and a walk over one inning. It's not believed to be a serious issue, but the right-hander won't be eligible to be activated until July 7.
Jun 9 2022Herget (1-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing a run on two hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There was no margin for error in the tight contest, as the only run in the game was the one Herget allowed in the sixth frame. The right-hander started off the inning with a pair of strikeouts, but Boston made him pay for a two-out walk when Bobby Dalbec knocked in a run with a double. Herget has pitched well for Los Angeles this season, posting a 3.10 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB over 29 innings.
Jun 5 2022Herget yielded a walkoff home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. He did not record an out. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget entered the ninth inning after Raisel Iglesias put two runners on base and promptly served up a walkoff three-run shot to Bryson Stott. His season ERA swelled to 3.12 with an impressive 26:3 K:BB through 19 appearances.
May 29 2022Herget wasn't available to pitch in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays due to a fingernail issue, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget threw two scoreless innings during Friday's series opener against Toronto, but he wasn't available out of the bullpen to close out the series. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Yankees.
May 16 2022Herget earned a save against Oakland on Sunday, pitching 2.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit. He did not walk or strike out any batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Usual closer Raisel Iglesias pitched both Friday and Saturday, so manager Joe Maddon elected to leave Herget in the contest for the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday despite the Angels leading by just three runs. The right-hander validated the decision by closing the game out for his first career save. Herget isn't likely to see many more save opportunities going forward, though he's been solid this season with a 3.32 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB across 19 innings.
Apr 9 2022Herget allowed four runs on four hits in the Angels' Opening Day loss to Houston on Friday, registering his only out via strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was part of a disastrous outing by an Angels bullpen that yielded 11 runs over five innings. The right-hander relieved Mike Mayers -- who allowed three straight batters to reach base to begin the seventh frame -- and kicked off his appearance by striking out Jose Altuve. However, things fell apart for Herget from there, as each of the following four batters produced a hit and eventually came around to score. Herget was one of the final relievers to make Los Angeles' Opening Day 28-man roster, so he'll need to perform much better or risk losing his big-league spot when rosters are reduced to 26 on May 1.
Sep 25 2021Herget (2-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out one and recording just one out to take the loss to the Mariners on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget entered the game with two outs and runners on the corners in the sixth inning. He got out of the inning without letting any runs score, but in the seventh he allowed the first two runners to reach base and eventually score. He has allowed three runs in 10.1 innings over 10 appearances in September. The 27-year-old has a 3.94 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 18 strikeouts in 16 innings this season.
Sep 8 2021Herget (2-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Padres after tossing two scoreless innings in relief, giving up one hit and fanning two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget came into the game in the sixth inning and was in complete control, allowing only one baserunner and completing two frames with just 24 pitches (14 strikes). He's given up just one earned run across three appearances (4.1 innings) since joining the Angels in late August.
Sep 1 2021Herget (1-1) fired 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out two to earn the win over the Yankees on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget made his first appearance with the Angels on Tuesday after being called him up from Triple-A Salt Lake. He managed to earn the win after relieving Jaime Barria in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has just 5.2 innings in MLB under his belt this season, all coming in August.
Aug 31 2021Herget had his contract selected by the Angels on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget inked a minor-league deal with the Angels on Aug. 17 and will join the big-league roster after surrendering seven runs over 4.2 frames in four appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Aug 17 2021Herget signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After electing free agency over the weekend when he cleared waivers, Herget quickly found a new opportunity with an American League West organization. Over his four relief appearances with Texas prior to being designated for assignment, the 27-year-old right-hander gave up four earned runs on five hits and no walks over four innings. He'll likely begin his tenure with the Angels at Triple-A Salt Lake.
Aug 8 2021Herget was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget had his contract selected by the Rangers early in the week and surrendered five runs (four earned) over four innings. The 27-year-old will return to Round Rock, where he has a 2.56 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 38.2 innings this season.
Aug 2 2021Herget's contract was selected by the Rangers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget will be available to make his season debut out of the bullpen after right-hander Demarcus Evans was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. The 27-year-old has posted a 2.56 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 38.2 innings across 28 relief appearances in the minors this year.
Dec 11 2020Herget signed a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Rangers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget was non-tendered by the Rangers in early December, but he'll return to the team on a split major-league contract. The right-hander made 20 appearances last year, posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 19.2 innings. Herget should resume his role as a lower-leverage reliever in 2021.
Dec 2 2020Herget was non-tendered by the Rangers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He had a 3.20 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB in 19.2 innings (20 appearances) last season. Still just 27, Herget should be able to latch on elsewhere on a big-league deal, assuming he is healthy.
Sep 27 2020Herget (1-0) allowed one run on one hit while striking out a batter through an inning of work Saturday as he earned the win against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget replaced Kyle Gibson in the seventh and quickly gave up a double to Aledmys Diaz to begin the inning. The Astros were able to plate him on two sacrifices before Herget struck out Myles Straw to end the inning. The right-hander has a solid 3.20 ERA, but his 17:14 K:BB across 19.2 innings is a bit concerning as he appears to have some trouble locating his pitches.
Sep 17 2020Herget will serve as the opener for Friday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget will likely be tasked with handling the first inning or so in this one, considering he hasn't pitched more than two frames this season. Wes Benjamin is in line to pitch the bulk of Friday's innings.
Aug 12 2020Herget was recalled from the alternate training site Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was optioned to the alternate site Tuesday, but he'll make a quick return to the active roster with Nick Goody (back) heading to the injured list. Herget has appeared in five games this season, allowing five runs on five hits with a 4:6 K:BB over 4.1 innings.
Dec 21 2019Herget was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget finds himself removed from a 40-man roster for the second time in less than a month, as he faced the same fate with the Reds back in late November. This time around, the transaction makes room for Adolis Garcia, acquired in a trade with the Cardinals in a corresponding move.
Dec 2 2019Herget was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget made his major-league debut last season, pitching 6.1 innings for the Reds. He did not strike out a single batter, quite a surprise given his strong 27.1 percent strikeout rate in 58.2 innings for Triple-A Louisville. He'll compete for a bullpen spot in camp.
Nov 25 2019Herget was designated for assignment by the Reds on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget will clear a space on the 40-man roster for Justin Shafer, acquired from the Blue Jays in a corresponding move. Herget posted a respectable 4.26 ERA in his 6.1 inning big-league debut last season, though he didn't strike out a single one of the 26 batters he faced.
Sep 8 2019Herget was recalled by the Reds on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Herget made the first three big-league appearances of his career back in July, allowing three runs in 3.2 innings of work. He recorded a 2.91 ERA in 58.2 innings for Triple-A Louisville this season, though that came with a worryingly high 14.3 percent walk rate and a good but not great 27.1 percent strikeout rate.
