Herget passed through waivers unclaimed Saturday and will remain with Texas as a non-roster invitee to spring training.
Herget did produce a 3.20 ERA in 19.2 innings last season, but that came with a 17:14 K:BB, so it's hardly a surprise that he wasn't a hot commodity on the waiver wire. He'll remain with the team but is now one step further from returning to the big leagues now that he's off the 40-man roster.
