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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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. Brennen Davis (ankle) was recalled from Iowa and transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Atlanta designated Herget for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Atlanta optioned Herget to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to provide the bullpen with some extra length.

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

EDGE Analysis

Right shoulder inflammation has kept Herget on the shelf since June 8, but 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 in middle relief while in Atlanta. Daysbel Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Atlanta sent Herget (shoulder) to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Herget has been shelved since early June with right shoulder inflammation but is ready for game action. 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
