Nabil Crismatt Fantasy Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team will go with a four-man starting rotation for the rest of the season, which means right-hander 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.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Nabil Crismatt will start Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. It'll be Crismatt's third appearance and second start for the Diamondbacks, who signed him to a minor-league contract earlier this month after the Philadelphia Phillies released him. The 30-year-old journeyman has thrown nine innings for the D-backs and given up just one run on seven hits while recording nine strikeouts against four walks. He's in for an enormous challenge against the Brewers, who own the majors' best record by a wide margin and have piled up the third-most runs in the league.

The Philadelphia Phillies plan to start right-handed relief pitcher Nabil Crismatt in their Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. Right-hander Tyler Phillips will get the ball for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, while left-hander Cristopher Sanchez will start on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Crismatt, 30, signed a minor-league deal with Philadelphia back on Dec. 13. He is merely competing for an Opening Day bullpen spot with the Phillies in spring training after spending most of last year pitching at Triple-A for three different teams. Crismatt had a bloated 5.81 ERA with 75 strikeouts and 28 walks in 79 innings pitched and is nowhere near the fantasy radar. The Colombian hurler has a career 3.71 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in five major-league seasons since debuting in 2020 with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent right-handed reliever Nabil Crismatt to a minor-league deal earlier this month. Crismatt will head to the National League East after spending the 2024 campaign pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He only made five appearances out of the bullpen for the eventual World Series champions, though, and allowed three runs (two earned) while walking none and striking out six in seven innings of work. The 30-year-old also had an unsavory 5.81 ERA with 75 strikeouts and 28 walks in 79 innings at three different minor-league levels. Crismatt will most likely open the 2025 season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will serve as relief depth for the Phillies. He has a career 3.71 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 177 innings in his five big-league seasons dating back to 2020.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed pitcher Nabil Crismatt and outfielder Travis Swaggerty to minor-league contracts. Crismatt, 28, got into eight big-league games between the Padres and D-backs in the 2023 season, allowing 12 earned runs, three home runs, and seven walks against 12 strikeouts in 13 innings of work. That said, the right-hander was largely very good from 2020-22 and owns a career 3.76 ERA across 109 big-league outings. Swaggerty, 26, didn't appear in the big leagues in 2023 and has just five MLB appearances under his belt, all coming in the 2022 season. He appeared in just 22 minor-league games in the Pirates' organization last season before being released and signing a minor-league deal with the White Sox.

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed right-hander Nabil Crismatt to a minor-league deal on Saturday. Crismatt was designated for assignment by the San Diego Padres last week and elected free agency. He'll be staying in the National League West after posting a rough 9.82 ERA (7.37 FIP), 2.18 WHIP, seven walks and nine strikeouts in only 11 relief innings for the Padres in 2023. The 28-year-old reliever was much more reliable in his first three seasons in San Diego, recording a 3.38 ERA (3.81 FIP), 1.25 WHIP and 144 strikeouts in 157 innings over 101 appearances (one start). For now, Crismatt will operate as minor-league relief depth in Arizona.
