Brennan Bernardino

Brennan Bernardino served as the Rockies' opener on Saturday and allowed one run on one hit, walked two, and did not record a strikeout as Colorado suffered a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Fantasy Impact

Bernardino made his first start of the season and things got off to a rough start as two batters in, the Phillies had a 1-0 lead. The lefthander walked Trea Turner to open the game and Kyle Schwarber followed with an RBI double. He retired Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm before walking Bryson Stott to end his outing. Bernardino has appeared in five games this season and is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA, allowing a run on three hits with two walks and a strikeout in 3.2 innings.

Brennan Bernardino will serve as the opener on Saturday for the Rockies against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Bernardino will open the game for the first inning or two. Chase Dollander will then take over in a bulk relief role.

Brennan Bernardino and the Colorado Rockies have avoided arbitration and the lefty reliever will make $925K in 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Bernardino came over from the Red Sox in a November trade, so he will pitch for the first time with Colorado in 2026. He has pitched parts of four seasons with Seattle and Boston and has a 3.47 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 155.2 innings. Bernardino will likely fill a middle relief role for the Rockies in 2026.

The Red Sox have traded Brennan Bernardino to the Rockies for OF Braiden Ward.

Fantasy Impact

Bernardino is coming off a season where he bounced back-and-forth between Triple-A and the majors. The move was made ahead of the 40-man rosters needing to be set before the Rule-5 Draft. He will add depth in the Rockies bullpen.

The Red Sox left Brennan Bernardino off their AL Wild Card series roster.

Fantasy Impact

Bernardino has been on the injured list for the past few weeks. He wasn't able to make it back in time for the start of the postseason.
