Top Ryan Bergert News

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Solid in no-decision

    Bergert did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Bergert generated 12 whiffs on 90 pitches and left with a 3-1 lead before Angel Zerpa immediately allowed a game-tying homer. The 25-year-old has impressed in four starts with the Royals, pitching into the sixth inning and yielding two earned runs or fewer in each outing. He'll carry a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB across 58 innings this season into a road matchup with the White Sox next week.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Fans seven in no-decision

    Bergert did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.

    Bergert coughed up a solo homer to Lenyn Sosa in the first inning but settled in after. The White Sox were mostly silenced until the sixth inning when they scratched across an unearned run. Bergert tossed 62 of 95 pitches for strikes and forced 15 whiffs, including eight with his slider. He's been impressive since joining Kansas City, posting a 2.70 ERA with a 17:5 K:BB through 16.2 frames. For the year, Bergert owns a 2.75 ERA and a 51:23 K:BB across 52.1 innings. He's currently in line to take the mound in Detroit for his next appearance.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Remaining in rotation

    Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Wednesday that Bergert will remain in the rotation and start Sunday against the White Sox, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Michael Lorenzen (oblique) will rejoin the rotation Saturday, but it will be Bailey Falter -- and not Bergert -- losing his rotation spot. Bergert has allowed four runs with a 10:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings in his two starts for the Royals and boasts a 2.87 ERA across 13 appearances (nine starts) between San Diego and Kansas City in 2025.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Strikes out eight

    Bergert did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Twins, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

    Bergert was impressive Sunday, as he matched a career high with eight strikeouts while holding the Twins to two runs on a Ryan Fitzgerald homer in the third inning. The rookie right-hander hasn't provided much length this season (his 5.2 innings pitched matched a season high), though he's been effective overall, holding opponents to two runs or fewer runs in seven of his nine starts. Bergert's ERA sits at 2.87 this season with a 1.09 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB across 47 innings between Kansas City and San Diego. He figures to remain in the Royals rotation until Michael Lorenzen (oblique) is able to return though that could happen as soon as this week.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Picking up another start

    Bergert is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Twins at Target Field.

    Acquired from the Padres at the trade deadline, Bergert slotted into the rotation Tuesday in his Royals debut, taking a loss despite limiting the Red Sox to two runs on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. Bergert may need another strong showing Sunday to ensure he sticks around in the Kansas City rotation next week, when the Royals could get another starter in Michael Lorenzen (oblique) back from the injured list. Once Lorenzen is activated, the choice for the Royals' No. 5 starter may come down to Bailey Falter and Bergert, and the fact that Bergert has minor-league options remaining could work against him in sticking around in the big-league rotation.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Falls in KC debut

    Bergert (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the Royals were downed 6-2 by the Red Sox.

    Making his first appearance for Kansas City after being acquired from San Diego as part of the Freddy Fermin trade, Bergert battled Boston ace Garrett Crochet to a 1-1 tie through five frames before the home squad finally pulled ahead for good in the sixth. Bergert tossed 61 of 85 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his first career quality start, and the 25-year-old rookie staked a claim to potentially handle at least one more turn through the rotation while Michael Lorenzen (oblique) completes a rehab assignment. If Bergert does get another start with the Royals, it would likely come at home early next week against the Nationals.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Debuting for K.C. on Tuesday

    Bergert is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

    The Royals are breaking two of their trade-deadline acquisitions into the rotation for the three-game set in Boston, as lefty Bailey Falter will start Monday's series opener before Bergert makes his team debut Tuesday. The 25-year-old Bergert reached the majors for the first time with the Padres earlier this season and logged a 2.78 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB in 35.2 innings over 11 appearances (seven starts). He could be in line for a brief stint in the Kansas City rotation, as Bergert will be at risk of moving to the bullpen or heading to Triple-A Omaha when Michael Lorenzen (oblique) likely makes his return from the 15-day injured list around the middle of August.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Lands with Royals in trade

    The Royals acquired Bergert and Stephen Kolek from the Padres on Thursday in exchange for Freddy Fermin, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Bergert has made seven starts and four relief appearances this season for the Padres and compiled a 2.78 ERA and 34:18 K:BB over 35.2 innings. The 25-year-old boasts a 26.8 percent strikeout rate at the minor-league level and should go directly into the Kansas City rotation.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Fine in Tuesday's start

    Bergert allowed one run on two hits and four walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets on Tuesday.

    Bergert threw 50 of 83 pitches for strikes, with the four walks matching his season high. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in each of his last four big-league appearances, though a forearm injury abbreviated one of those outings. The right-hander is at a 2.78 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB through 35.2 innings over 11 appearances (seven starts) this season. He's at 80.1 innings between San Diego and Triple-A El Paso this year, so he should be able to comfortably pass his career high of 105.2 frames from 2023 as long as he stays healthy. It's unclear if this effort was enough for Bergert to keep a spot in the rotation -- if he gets another turn, it's tentatively slated to be on the road in Arizona next week.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Promoted for start

    The Padres recalled Bergert from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Bergert has made 10 appearances (six starts) for the Padres this season, posting a 2.84 ERA and 1.14 WHIP to go with a 30:14 K:BB over 31.2 frames. The 25-year-old will make his seventh start of the season Tuesday against a Mets offense that owns a .713 OPS since the All-Star break, and he'll replace Stephen Kolek in the Friars' rotation.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: In line to start Tuesday

    Berget has been added to the Padres' taxi squad and is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso to start Tuesday against the Mets, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    A spot start for Berget buys the struggling Yu Darvish an extra day of rest and pushes Nick Pivetta back in the schedule to start Friday against the Cardinals. Berget has made a positive impression during his six starts and four relief outings with the big club this season, collecting a 2.84 ERA and 30:14 K:BB over 31.2 innings.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Sent to El Paso

    The Padres optioned Bergert to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Bergert gave up two runs in 4.2 innings during his return from the injured list Friday. Now that the Padres have no need for a fifth starter with the All-Star break approaching, they'll send the 25-year-old down to Triple-A in favor of Alek Jacob, who will provide extra bullpen depth. Bergert owns a 2.84 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 31.2 innings in the majors this season, so there's a good chance he'll be back in a Padres uniform before long.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Strikes out seven in return

    Bergert allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Friday.

    Bergert missed minimal time due to a forearm bruise and didn't look rusty in his return. He was a little unfortunate, as two of the three hits he allowed in this contest were solo home runs, but his seven strikeouts came up one shy of matching his season high. Bergert hasn't been let loose fully as a starter -- he finished this outing at 82 pitches (52 strikes) and has failed to reach the five-inning mark in his last three starts. Overall, he's posted a 2.84 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 30:14 K:BB through 31.2 innings across 10 appearances (six starts). Bergert will get a little more time to recuperate during the All-Star break before resuming his competition with Randy Vasquez to stay in the rotation once Michael King (shoulder) returns from the 60-day injured list, which is likely to happen in August.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Activated ahead of start

    Bergert (forearm) was reinstated from the injured list ahead of his start Friday against the Phillies.

    A forearm bruise caused by a comebacker forced Bergert onto the IL toward the end of June, but he'll now return after close to a minimum-length stay. The 25-year-old rookie has performed well in the big leagues this season to the tune of a 2.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, but he'll be welcomed back from injury by a Phillies offense that owns an .809 OPS since the start of July. Eduarniel Nunez was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Rejoining rotation Friday

    The Padres will reinstate Bergert (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Phillies in San Diego, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.

    Bergert landed on the IL on June 25 due to a right forearm contusion but made a quick recovery. The rookie right-hander gave up four earned runs on nine hits and one walk over a 4.2-inning, 63-pitch rehab start with Triple-A El Paso last Sunday, so he should be capable of handling something close to a typical starter's workload in his return. Through nine appearances (five starts) for the Padres this season, Bergert owns a 2.67 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB in 27 innings.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Slated for rehab start Sunday

    Bergert (forearm) is expected to throw 50-to-60 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Bergert was hit by a comebacker during a game June 24 and was subsequently placed on the IL with a bruised forearm. X-rays came back negative, and the right-hander was able to throw a bullpen session July 4, so he appears to have escaped a serious injury. If Bergert's outing with El Paso goes well, he could be activated when first eligible July 10 or shortly thereafter.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Bergert's right forearm came back negative after he was struck by a comebacker in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Bergert surrendered three earned runs over three innings before making an early exit in the fourth inning after a 103-mile-per-hour line drive connected with his forearm. Although he managed to escape without suffering a serious injury, the right-hander said after the game that he was still quite sore, and there's no telling at this point if he'll be ready to make his next start. He's tentatively scheduled to take the hill Monday against Philadelphia.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Shelved with bruised forearm

    The Padres placed Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Bergert was struck in the forearm by a comebacker in his start during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals and was forced to leave the game early. Though X-rays came back negative, Bergert will get at least two weeks off to heal up from the bruise on his forearm, which is likely still presenting some discomfort for him when he throws. The Padres recalled right-hander Sean Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso to take Bergert's spot on the 26-man active roster, and the team will eventually need to add a replacement in the rotation for Bergert during next week's series in Philadelphia.

  • Padres' Ryan Bergert: Steady in short outing

    Bergert allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.

    Bergert came up an out short of qualifying for the win, exiting at 71 pitches (47 strikes). It appears to be simply a managerial decision, as Shohei Ohtani was up with runners on the corners and two outs when Bergert was lifted for Adrian Morejon. While it was a short start, Bergert's holding his own quite well in the majors, allowing just five runs over 20 innings across his first four starts. He's at a 1.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB through 24 innings over eight appearances in total this season. The 25-year-old is projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.
