2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Jimmy Herget in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Signed a one-year contract with the Rockies in March of 2025.
Expected to fill setup role
PColorado Rockies
August 4, 2025
Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Herget will see more opportunities late in games after closer Seth Halvorsen (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis
Schaeffer tabbed Victor Vodnik and Juan Mejia as the main candidates to pick up saves while Halvorsen is out, but Herget will move up a rung in the bullpen pecking order and could serve as one of the Rockies' top setup men. The 31-year-old right-hander has covered 58.2 innings over his 39 appearances for Colorado this season, logging a 2.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB while collecting two holds.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
Herget tallied half of the Angels 16 saves after Los Angeles traded Raisel Iglesias to Atlanta last year. The 29-year-old was spectacular all season, but really shined after the trade with a 1.10 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 32.2 innings. He finished second on the team with nine saves while adding seven holds across a career-high 69 innings (49 appearances). The right-hander was effective with three of his four pitches, particularly his curveball and slider, but his 91 mph sinker was crushed (.397 BA, .603 SLG) and he threw it far less often as the season progressed. Herget figures to be in the Angels' mix for saves again in 2023, but manager Phil Nevin returns this season and often called his number during high leverage spots earlier in games. Double-digit saves are possible, but don't count on Herget as your primary saves source, as Los Angeles could still add to this bullpen.
Herget got his first taste of the big leagues in 2019, logging 6.1 innings with Cincinnati and allowing three earned runs. A closer during his first three seasons in the minors, Herget later transitioned to a setup role despite posting promising numbers at the Triple-A level. The right-hander registered a 3.17 ERA with Louisville from 2017-2019 while employing various arm angles and a funky delivery to average over a strikeout per inning. His best pitch is a sinker that sits in the low-mid 90s and is complemented by an above-average slider. Herget does struggle somewhat in the command department -- he posted a 5.57 BB/9 in Triple-A last season -- but he doesn't give up a lot of home runs and can handle the pressure of pitching with men on base. Herget was DFA'd by both the Reds and Rangers in the offseason but could still challenge for a bullpen spot wherever he ends up in 2020.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To get consideration for closer
PLos Angeles Angels
February 14, 2023
Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com writes that Herget is "expected to get some consideration" for the Angels' closer role.
Analysis
Carlos Estevez, signed to a two-year, $13.5 million free-agent contract in December, is thought to be the early favorite to claim the gig. However, the Halos have a strong returning option in Herget, who pitched to a 2.48 ERA and 63:15 K:BB over 69 innings in 2022 while earning nine saves. Ryan Tepera could also be in the running for ninth-inning opportunities this year in Anaheim.
