Nabil Crismatt to Pitch Out of Bullpen to Close Out the Season
Nabil Crismatt will pitch out of the bullpen the rest of the way, according to Alex D'Agostino of SI.com. Crismatt surprisingly held his own as a member of Arizona's rotation in the second half of the season after being called up from Triple-A Reno on Aug. 17. The 30-year-old native of Columbia has made six appearances (five starts) for the D-backs and has posted a solid 2.70 ERA (3.85 FIP) and 1.27 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and seven walks in 30 innings pitched while going 3-0. Crismatt was a bit fortunate to have an ERA under 3.00, but he'll attempt to continue pitching well out of the bullpen as Arizona tries to sneak into the final wild-card spot in the National League the last two weeks of the season.
