Bergen was reassigned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen was in camp as a non-roster invitee and was unable to crack San Diego's Opening Day roster. The left-hander appeared in 10 games for the Blue Jays last season and had a 1.69 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB over 10.2 innings.

Bergen signed with the Padres as a non-roster invitee Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen posted a 1.69 ERA in 10.2 innings for the Blue Jays last season, though his 6:8 K:BB was far from convincing. He'll compete for a low-leverage bullpen spot this spring.

Bergen went unclaimed on waivers and was assigned Monday to Triple-A Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Though Bergen posted a 1.69 ERA in 10.2 innings with the Blue Jays this season, he fanned just six batters, minimizing his appeal on waivers and resulting in his return to Buffalo. That being said, Toronto's continually fluid bullpen situation could have use of Bergen again at some point this season.

Bergen was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays needed to clear a roster spot after adding Adam Cimber and Corey Dickerson in a trade with the Marlins. Bergen owns a 1.69 ERA in 10.2 innings at the big-league level this season, though that comes with a 6:8 K:BB, which could make him an unappealing option on the waiver wire.

Bergen (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and subsequently optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen landed on the shelf with left shoulder impingement in late May, and he won't remain on the big-league roster now that he's healthy. The 27-year-old posted a 1.69 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB across 10.2 innings prior to going down with the injury.

Bergen was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen walked three batters and blew a save in his most recent outing Sunday against the Rays. Whether or not those struggles were injury-related is unclear, as is his expected return date. The move clears a spot for the Blue Jays to select Alek Manoah's contract ahead of his major-league debut.

Bergen was credited with a blown save Sunday against the Rays. He issued three walks in one-third of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen entered the game with two outs and the bases loaded in a one-run game, but he was absolutely woeful and issued three straight walks -- to Austin Meadows, Manuel Margot and Mike Brosseau -- before ultimately recording the final out of the inning. The left-hander now has a 6:8 K:BB across 10.2 innings on the season and while his 1.69 ERA remains excellent, he needs to do a better job in terms of command going forward.

Bergen (2-0) pitched a scoreless fifth inning, allowing one hit while striking out one to earn the win over the Phillies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen has been near-perfect in his appearances this season, pitching 8.2 shutout innings in seven appearances. He has floated between the major league roster and the alternate site, but he is doing everything in his power to show why he deserves to stay in MLB. The 27-year-old has a 0.81 WHIP and just a .107 opponent batting average.

Bergen (1-0) allowed no hits and a walk in one scoreless inning to earn the win against Atlanta on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bergen still hasn't allowed a run in six appearances (one start) to begin the season, and he was rewarded with his first win by holding Atlanta scoreless in the eighth inning Thursday. The lefty has posted a 0.78 WHIP with four strikeouts in 7.2 innings this year.
