He retired George Springer, Nathan Lukes and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a one-run lead in the 10th. Herget was hoping for a chance to return to the rotation this spring after an excellent year out of the pen in 2025, but it didn’t materialize after the Rockies spent most of their money on veteran starters. While he doesn’t figure to close often, he’ll probably be put on pace to throw about as many innings as any reliever in the league.

Herget, a 32-year-old journeyman, had a 2.48 ERA in 83 1/3 innings out of the pen last season, which probably made him the Rockies’ second-best player behind Hunter Goodman. He spoke last month about potentially joining the rotation in 2026, but it’s unclear if there’s much chance of that happening. He’s slated to have one more year of arbitration in 2027.

The 32-year-old Herges hasn’t been a starter since his Junior year at the University of South Florida in 2015. The Reds made him a sixth-round pick that year and immediately moved him to the pen in the minors. He was outstanding for the Rockies last season, finishing with a 2.48 ERA and an 81/26 K/BB over 59 appearances. Even if the transition goes well, he certainly doesn’t figure to offer any fantasy value.
