Stefan Crichton: Opts to retire
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Stefan Crichton has opted to retire from professional baseball, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.Crichton made 93 appearances from 2017 through 2021 over parts of four seasons in the big leagues with Baltimore and Arizona, accruing a 4.79 ERA and 1.49 WHIP while gathering nine saves across 92 career innings. Injuries limited him to just four appearances with Arizona's Triple-A affiliate in Reno in 2022, but Crichton reported to camp healthy and received an invitation to big-league spring training. The 30-year-old was still facing an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster, however, and rather than spending another season in the minors, Crichton decided he was better off calling an end to his career.

Diamondbacks' Stefan Crichton: Lasts three-batter minimum
Stefan 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.

Diamondbacks' Stefan Crichton: Bounced from 40-man roster
The Arizona Diamondbacks designated Stefan Crichton for assignment Wednesday.Crichton has recorded four of the Diamondbacks' six saves this season and was working in a high-leverage role out of the bullpen as recently as a couple of weeks ago, so Arizona's decision to drop him from the 40-man roster comes as a surprise. The fact that he led the team in saves is probably an indictment of the lack of quality relief arms in Arizona more than anything, as Crichton's ratios (6.04 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, 2.8 K-BB%) wouldn't have made him deserving of a spot in most of the other bullpens around baseball. Crichton doesn't have any remaining minor-league options, so if another team puts in a waiver claim for him, he would have to be added to the 26-man active roster.

Diamondbacks' Stefan Crichton: Gives up two in loss
Stefan Crichton allowed two runs on three hits over one-third of an inning in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.Crichton with Arizona down a run in the eighth inning and let the game slip away. Nominally, Crichton is the Arizona Diamondbacks' closer, but the team hasn't needed anyone to close out a game since he earned his fourth save of the season way back on May 10. Since then, Crichton has a 7.45 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 9.2 innings. The Diamondbacks have lost 28 of 31 games and are already looking to the future, so they may try out guys besides Crichton or Joakim Soria to close out games. The most intriguing arm belongs to J.B. Bukauskas, but he's currently working his way back from an elbow injury.

Stefan Crichton (0-4) allowed an unearned run and one hit in one inning in Thursday's extra-inning loss to St. Louis.Crichton gave up a go-ahead RBI double to Yadier Molina in the 10th inning, and Arizona wasn't able to answer in their half of the frame. The 29-year-old Crichton has a 6.14 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 14.2 innings this season. He's collected four saves and four holds, but Arizona's 18-33 record shows that hasn't been a lot of closing opportunities for the right-hander. Joakim Soria is also in the mix for ninth-inning duties -- he pitched a perfect inning in Thursday's contest.
