Bergman has pitched 17.2 innings so far this season (seven relief appearances and one start), holding an ERA of 5.60 and a WHIP of 1.53 while striking out 19 batters during that span.

Bergman has historically had trouble striking out batters at the major league level, with his highest K/9 being 5.1, but he's been fanning batters at a much better rate this season. He's also maintained good control while increasing the K's, as he's only walked four batters so far this season. Although batters are definitely hitting him hard enough (Bergman has allowed 23 hits this season), the uptick in strikeouts definitely gives the right-hander a bit more value in NL-only leagues, especially if he can garner a few more spot starts throughout the year.
