Bergert is highlighted as a value-starting option, facing Chicago White Sox. The piece notes he’s kept walks down and worked past the sixth in several starts since joining the Royals, providing upside at a mid-to-low price. While not a slam-dunk win-breaker, his probability of a quality start at home makes him a strong debt-light cash-game anchor with GPP upside if he limits free passes.

Bergert has elevated his tool mix in August, leaning on a sweeper to keep hitters off balance while the slider doubles as a legitimate out-pitch. His August line (2.73 ERA, 1.03 WHIP) supports continued fantasy value as long as he sustains the slider-sweeper synergy.

Bergert has pitched well in August for Kansas City, posting a 2.82 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP with solid strikeouts. No wins, but the Royals seem committed to keeping him in the rotation, presenting a solid streaming option for Week 22 in deeper formats.

Bergert took the mound against Detroit in the CMU Night context, highlighting Royals’ young pitching prospects. His outing represented a glimpse into KC’s future rotation, with potential implications for rest-of-season fantasy value if he earns more starts and develops secondary offerings.

Bergert, a Royals pitcher, brings a 2.78 ERA into his matchup with Detroit, offering a fringe fantasy streaming option with upside if he avoids the walk and keeps the Tigers from capitalizing on early threats. His young threshold suggests a limited workload risk but plenty of efficiency when he’s on.
