Nabil Crismatt’s Contract Selected, Nick Ramirez Optioned

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected the contract of Nabil Crismatt from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned Nick Ramirez. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred Kyle Hurt to the 60-day injured list.

Crismatt is in his second stint with the Dodgers this season. He was previously designated for assignment to make room for Dinelson Lamet, but Crismatt cleared waivers and was sent to Triple-A.

The right-hander pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts for the Dodgers and earned the win in his lone appearance.

In Spring Training, Crismatt pitched in three Cactus League games, allowing a run in three of those appearances. He finished the spring with an 8.44 ERA and 2.06 WHIP while allowing opponents to bat .286.

Crismatt made his MLB debut with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2020 and was with the San Diego Padres from 2021-2023. After San Diego designated him for assignment last June, he finished the 2023 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The veteran went a combined 0-2 with an 8.31 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in eight appearances between the Padres and Diamondbacks. Crismatt also struggled with the Reno Aces, going 4-3 with a 6.85 ERA in 14 games (nine starts).

In parts of five MLB seasons, Crismatt owns a 9-5 record, 3.72 ERA, 3.95 FIP and 1.30 WHIP over 172 innings pitched. His biggest workload came in 2021, when he posted a 3.76 ERA in 81.1 innings with the Padres.

Crismatt followed that up by recording a career-best 2.94 ERA in 50 appearances (one start) during the 2022 season.

Dodgers option Nick Ramirez

Ramirez has thrown seven innings for the Dodgers this season, posting a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with two strikeouts. He owns a career 3.92 ERA across 158.1 innings with 129 strikeouts and a 1.33 WHIP.

He pitched two innings against the Toronto Blue Jays in the series opener on Friday, giving up one run on three hits with one strikeout and two walks in the blowout win.
