We had to pivot in the game plan of Lorenzen throwing multiple innings, because he\u2019ll start on Friday.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_10gz2y8ts\">Bergert, 25, was one of two pitchers acquired from the San Diego Padres in exchange for catcher Freddy Fermin on the day of the July 31 trade deadline. He immediately joined Kansas City&#8217;s rotation despite only having seven major league starts under his belt at the time, and showed early promise before fading a bit down the stretch. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_kdel4gaq6\">In total, Bergert pitched to a 4.43 ERA in eight starts with the Royals, striking out 39 batters, allowing 37 hits, and walking 17 across 40 2\/3 innings of work. His penultimate start, in which he allowed eight earned runs and 11 hits in 3 1\/3 innings against the Cleveland Guardians, undid a lot of the good work he&#8217;d done up to that point. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_aqior9u4x\">All the Royals can do at this point is hope for a normal offseason for Bergert ahead of an intriguing rotation battle during spring training. The righty should have the inside track on a rotation spot with Michael Lorenzen slated for free agency, but lots can change during the winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bezh25chs\"><em><strong>More MLB: <\/strong><\/em><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1gn6yjz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/royals\/news\/royals-cole-ragans-offers-3-word-response-to-long-awaited-injury-return-jackson3\"><em><strong>Royals&#8217; Cole Ragans Offers 3-Word Response to Long-Awaited Injury Return<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.si.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Kansas City Royals&#8217; playoff odds steadily approaching zero, one promising young pitcher saw his season come to an end on Wednesday.
