The Diamondbacks announced this morning that theyve selected the contract of right-hander . In a corresponding move, right-hander was JaMychal Green Jersey optioned to Triple-A. Arizona had a 40-man roster already vacancy for Crismatt to fill, and their roster now stands at 40. Crismatt, 30, was signed by the Mets out of Colombia and made his profe sional debut back in 2012. He made his big league debut as a Cardinal in 2020, when he pitched to a 3.24 ERA in 8 1/3 innings of work. Despite that solid first showing, he was outrighted off the clubs roster following the 2020 season. That led him to sign a minor league contract with the Padres, for whom he would have plenty of succe s over the next two seasons. The righty posted a 3.39 ERA with a 3.76 FIP over 148 2/3 innings of work from 2021-22 while striking out 21.6% of his opponents. It was a solid showing, but since then hes been limited to just 13 games in the majors between the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers. He struggled in those games, with a 6.30 ERA and 5.22 FIP in 20 innings of work. Hes mostly been relegated to the minors since 2023 and spent most of last year in the Rangers organization before signing with the Phillies on a minor league deal this past offseason. Philadelphia stretched Crismatt out to start at Triple-A, and he posted a decent 4.04 ERA in 100 1/3 innings of work for the club. He opted out of his minor league deal with the Phillies once, but re-signed after not finding a more lucrative deal elsewhere. He was released earlier this month by the Phillies, however, and found himself scooped up by Arizona shortly thereafter. He made one scorele s, two-inning appearance with the Diamondbacks Triple-A affiliate in Reno and is now slated to join the clubs roster, where he can help round out the pitching staff after the club dealt away a number of pieces at last months trade deadline. Crismatt figures to serve as a multi-inning reliever for the Diamondbacks going forward, and a strong showing down the stretch could help him find a big league role for the 2026 season if he can prove to have the same level of effectivene s he flashed with the Padres a few years ago.
