The Arizona Diamondbacks announced Monday they’ve claimed right-handed pitcher Sean Poppen off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. As part of the move, the team sent relief pitcher Stefan Crichton down to Triple-A Reno.
The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled outfielder Nick Heath from the Triple-A Reno Aces on Wednesday morning. Additionally, the team designated pitcher Stefan Crichton for assignment.
Crichton, 29, worked some high-leverage spots for the Snakes early in the season and even tallied four saves in the first five weeks, but he's struggled mightily of late.
