Bernard signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard split the 2023 season between the Triple-A affiliates of the Blue Jays and Rockies, posting an impressive .302/.375/.443 slash line with 11 homers and 41 steals across 126 games. He is 33 years old, however, and has appeared in only 12 career games at the MLB level.

Bernard signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on June 30.
EDGE Analysis
Syndergaard spent the first half of the Triple-A season in the Blue Jays' system, but he's back with the Rockies and has already played in six games at Triple-A Albuquerque. The outfielder made his MLB debut in Colorado last year at age 31.

Bernard was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard received 31 plate appearances in spring camp before the demotion, and posted just a .558 OPS with no homers and two stolen bases in that timeframe. He'll likely see plenty of playing time to open the season, but with Triple-A Buffalo instead of Toronto.

Bernard agreed Tuesday to a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays that includes an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard spent 10 seasons in the minors before finally getting a chance to make his MLB debut with the Rockies in 2022. The 32-year-old will likely be nothing more than organizational depth for the Blue Jays, but could make the Opening Day roster with a strong showing in the Grapefruit League.

Bernard was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard was sent to the minors in late August and will now be cast off the team's 40-man roster. It wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training.

The Rockies optioned Bernard to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard had started in eight of the Rockies' last 10 games and batted .286 while adding three stolen bases following his Aug. 12 call-up. However, he failed to draw a walk in 42 plate appearances, and only one of his 12 hits went for extra bases, so the Rockies opted to send the 31-year-old rookie back to the minors. Michael Toglia received a promotion from Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Bernard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard will head to the bench after going 7-for-21 with a double, a stolen base, five runs and two RBI while starting each of the past five games in center field. Garrett Hampson will get a look in center Thursday, but Bernard may keep seeing most of the opportunities at the position if he continues to fare well at the plate.

Bernard will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elehuris Montero will exit the lineup to clear room for Bernard, who is making his fourth consecutive start and his third in a row against a right-handed pitcher. Due to the Rockies' logjam in the outfield, Bernard doesn't appear to have a direct path to a full-time gig at the moment, but manager Bud Black could continue to dish out rest days to regular players periodically to open up a quasi-everyday role for the speedy outfielder if he keeps making an impact on the bases and on defense. Through his first seven big-league games, the 31-year-old rookie is getting on base at a weak .259 clip, but he's 3-for-3 on stolen-base attempts and has scored six runs.

Bernard went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard was one of two Rockies to produce multiple hits in the contest. The outfielder also picked up his second steal in three games. He's gone 3-for-11 to begin his major-league career, adding one RBI and three strikeouts. Bernard's started three of four games since he was brought up from Triple-A Albuquerque, and it looks like he could see a short-side platoon role in center field during his time in the majors.

Bernard went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Bernard had 26 stolen bases in 87 games with Triple-A Albuquerque this year, and he got to show off his speed in his major-league debut. The 31-year-old, singled, stole second and scored on a Jose Iglesias sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. Bernard spent 10 years in the minors before making his debut, but it's expected he'll fill a reserve role in the outfield while he's up with the Rockies as a replacement for Yonathan Daza (shoulder).
