• Diamondbacks' Stefan Crichton: Resides on minor-league IL

  12D ago •

  Double-A Amarillo placed Crichton on its 60-day injured list April 8 due to an unspecified issue. Crichton posted a 7.33 ERA and 1.93 WHIP across 31 appearances out of Arizona's bullpen last season before he was returned to the minors and moved off the 40-man roster in August. He received an invitation to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, but the injury prevented him from making a serious bid at a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen.

  Crichton allowed three runs on three hits and failed to procure an out in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers. This was Crichton's first appearance after his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno on Friday. He turned what had been a quality start by Merrill Kelly on its head when he entered in the seventh inning with a runner on base. Justin Turner turned on a sinker two pitches into the at-bat for a two-run home run, breaking a tie game. Two singles ensued and Crichton was done after three batters and nine pitches. Those speculating that the one-time Arizona closer could return to the role after the team traded Joakim Soria will be disappointed by this outing.

The right-hander posted a 6.75 ERA in 5.1 innings across five relief appearances in the minors, and he could contend for a high-leverage role after Joakim Soria was traded to the Blue Jays on Friday.
