He split the 2019 season between the Single-A Quad Cities River Bandits and the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks, posting a combined 6-3 record and 3.71 ERA with 93 strikeouts in 77.2 innings pitched. Bermúdez did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] He spent the 2021 season split between Corpus Christi and the Triple-A Sugar Land Skeeters, logging a cumulative 5-6 record and 3.24 ERA with 146 strikeouts in 111.0 innings pitched.[5]

On August 20, 2022, Bermúdez was designated for assignment by Houston following the promotion of David Hensley.[7]
On August 23, 2022, Bermúdez was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants. On September 1, Bermúdez was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.[8] Spending the remainder of the year with Sacramento, he was 0–3 in five starts with a 9.22 ERA over 13.2 innings in which he gave up seven home runs and struck out 16 batters.[9] Bermúdez was released by the Giants on March 27, 2023.[10]
