Ryan Bergert Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals right-hander Ryan Bergert (forearm) will head to the 15-day injured list with forearm tightness, manager Matt Quatraro announced. Bergert's season will come to an end after he began feeling discomfort during a bullpen session on Wednesday. He had been in line to start Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but righty Michael Lorenzen will get the ball instead. Acquired from the San Diego Padres in July, the 25-year-old Bergert totaled 19 appearances (15 starts) and went 2-2 with a 3.66 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and 73:35 K:BB over 76 1/3 innings in his first major league season. Without Bergert, the Royals still have five healthy starters in Lorenzen, Michael Wacha, Cole Ragans, Noah Cameron, and Stephen Kolek.

Kansas City Royals rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert will make another start for the team on Sunday in the series finale in Minnesota against the division-rival Twins at Target Field. Bergert was acquired from the San Diego Padres at the July 31 trade deadline and allowed two earned runs on two hits while walking two and striking out two in 5 2/3 innings in his Royals debut against the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 5. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Padres in 2021 out of West Virginia will get another start with his new team, but after that he could be bumped from the rotation with veteran Michael Lorenzen (oblique) nearing his return. Bergert hasn't been anything special in his first MLB season in 2025, but he's more than held his own with a 2.83 ERA (4.15 FIP) and 1.11 WHIP while walking 20 and striking out 36 in 41 1/3 innings over 12 outings (eight starts).

The Kansas City Royals are acquiring right-handers Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek from the San Diego Padres for catcher Freddy Fermin, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. In Bergert and Kolek, the Royals are getting a couple of hurlers who have looked like decent back-end rotation options this season. Bergert, a 25-year-old rookie, has made 11 appearances (seven starts) and posted a 2.78 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings. There may be negative regression coming for Bergert, who has a high walk rate (4.54 per nine) with a 4.44 xERA/4.24 FIP/4.75 xFIP. Kolek, 28, debuted last year and made 14 starts for the Padres this season before the trade. He has recorded a 4.18 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 26 walks over 79 2/3 frames in 2025. Both Bergert and Kolek should plug into a Kansas City rotation that just lost No. 1 starter Kris Bubic (shoulder) to a season-ending rotator cuff injury. Cole Ragans (shoulder), Michael Lorenzen (oblique), and Alec Marsh (shoulder) are also on the injured list.

San Diego Padres right-hander Ryan Bergert is likely to start against the New York Mets on Tuesday, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. That would push Yu Darvish back to Wednesday's series finale. Nick Pivetta would then get the ball Friday to begin a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Bergert, who has been in the minors for the past two weeks, has made 10 appearances (six starts) in the bigs this year and posted a 2.84 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP, 30 strikeouts, and 14 walks in 31 2/3 innings. He'll face a Mets offense that ranks a middle-of-the-pack 15th in the majors in runs scored.

The San Diego Padres announced that they have optioned right-hander Ryan Bergert to Triple-A El Paso and recalled righty reliever Alek Jacob. Bergert spent two-plus weeks on the 15-day injured list and returned Friday to throw 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball with seven strikeouts in a win against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the first half of Bergert's season done and the Padres in immediate need of bullpen help, it made sense to option him. The 25-year-old rookie is sure to return sometime in the second half, having put up a 2.84 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and 30:14 K:BB across 31 2/3 innings and 10 appearances (six starts).

Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports that San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Bergert (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of their series opener against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Bergert has been shelved for a few weeks with a right-forearm contusion after a comebacker hit him during his last start against the Washington Nationals, but he's progressed quickly. He'll take the mound against a Phillies squad that's scored the ninth-most runs per game thus far (4.62). The 25-year-old was solid for the Friars before his injury, posting a 2.67 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 1-0 record through five starts (nine appearances), but won't have an easy ask against a strong Philadelphia lineup.

The San Diego Padres announced on Wednesday that they placed rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list with a right-forearm contusion and recalled right-hander Sean Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Bergert will now miss at least the next several weeks after he was hit by a comebacker in his start in Tuesday's win over the Washington Nationals. The 25-year-old's X-rays came back negative, though, so he should be able to return from the IL when he's eligible. The club's No. 21 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, could be needed in the rotation when he's ready to return, too, if Yu Darvish (elbow) is still on the IL. Bergert was pitching in relief in the minors before his first big-league call-up, but he's pitched well for the Friars in nine appearances (five starts), posting a 2.67 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 23 K's and 12 walks in 27 innings.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Bergert (forearm) was forced from Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Nationals after a line drive struck him in the fourth inning. Fortunately, initial X-rays returned negative, though the rookie noted he's still feeling sore. It's not shocking to hear Bergert is still in pain, considering the ball that hit him was traveling at 103.3 MPH. He yielded five hits, three earned runs, and three walks (four strikeouts) before his exit. The 25-year-old is lucky to walk away from the incident unscathed and can be considered day-to-day for now. However, it's unclear if he'll need to skip his next turn in the rotation.

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Ryan Bergert has had mixed results at Double-A San Antonio this season, but is coming off his best start of the season and was named Texas League Pitcher of the Week. Bergert threw six innings as part of the San Antonio Missions' combined no-hitter on Thursday. He struck out nine with no walks in the outing. That effort lowered his ERA to 5.12 on the season. In August, the Padres' No. 26 prospect has been stellar with a 1.29 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in three starts. It seems that the 24-year-old may have turned the corner a bit with his recent results in what has been a bit of a struggle this year statistically. The right-hander will look to finish the season strong and perhaps put himself in position to start next year at Triple-A.

San Diego starting pitching prospect Ryan Bergert led the way in a combined no-hitter on Thursday as he tossed six perfect innings. He struck out nine batters. In his past 19 frames, Bergert has looked quite sharp, holding a 1.42 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. This is a good sign as in the previous 34 innings before this stretch, he posted a 7.60 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP. Overall, the right-hander has struggled to find consistency through his first extended look at Double-A this season as he sits with a 5.12 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP through 70 innings. The West Virginia product may have begun to turn the corner at Double-A and could be on his way up to Triple-A if he continues this hot stretch.
