Pitching exclusively out of the bullpen, Josh Collmenter is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 22 innings.
Last year's horrific April that cost him a rotation spot seems like a distant memory. Collmenter finished with a 2.13 ERA in 72 innings (seven starts, 17 relief appearances) over the final five months in 2012 and has carried that success into a new season. Of particular interest is his strikeout and K/BB rate, both improved over last year, which were both improvements over 2010's fifth-place-ROY-voting campaign. May 21 - 2:23 AM

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter surrendered one run in five innings Sunday in a no-decision versus the Cubs.

Collmenter pitched well in both of his spot starts down the stretch here. After an awful April cost him his rotation spot, he ended up with a 2.13 ERA in 72 innings (seven starts, 17 relief appearances) over the final five months. While he never figured to duplicate his successful rookie season, he may have some staying power as a middle reliever/spot starter.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter did nice work in a spot start against the Giants on Tuesday, earning a victory while allowing just one run on two hits over his five frames.

Collmenter struck out four. He got word that he would be starting late in the day after Tyler Skaggs was scratched and performed admirably. The right-hander now owns a 5-3 record, 3.80 ERA and 78/22 K/BB ratio through 85 1/3 innings between the rotation and the bullpen this season.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter will start Tuesday against the Giants.

He'll make the start in place of Tyler Skaggs, who was scratched for undisclosed reasons. Collmenter has a 3.92 ERA and 74/20 K/BB ratio over 80 1/3 innings in nine starts and 17 relief appearances this year and could be worth using in NL-only leagues.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter (ulcers) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Tuesday.

It's his second throwing session since landing on the DL. The Diamondbacks aren't setting a timetable for his return, but Collmenter is hoping to be activated Friday when first eligible and seems to have a good shot at accomplishing that goal.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks placed RHP Josh Collmenter on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 9, with ulcers.

No word on the severity of the issue or a timeline for his return. Collmenter has a 4.24 ERA and and 69/18 K/BB ratio over 74 1/3 innings this season as a starter and reliever. The Diamondbacks have recalled right-hander Brad Bergesen from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding roster move.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Making his first start since rejoining the Diamondbacks rotation, Josh Collmenter held the Astros to two runs on seven hits in six innings of Sunday's 8-2 win.

Collmenter struck out four, walked one and allowed a solo home run to Justin Maxwell. With one relief outing sprinkled in the middle, Collmenter has now been quality in each of his past three starts, and owns a 3.82 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 66 innings between the bullpen and rotation. He's liable to go off the tracks at any time, but Collmenter is worth an own in NL-only leagues for the time being.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter is shifting back into the Diamondbacks' starting rotation to replace Trevor Bauer.

Bauer was sent back to the minors this week after registering a 6.06 ERA and 17/13 K/BB ratio in his first 16 1/3 major league innings. Collmenter has posted some superb numbers out of the Arizona 'pen but should probably be avoided in most standard fantasy leagues.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter notched his first win of the season after allowing two runs -- one earned -- in six innings Friday against the Dodgers.

Collmenter has allowed just two earned runs in 16 innings in his three starts since returning from his bullpen exile. Trevor Bauer hasn't been very impressive in his two starts so far, so Collmenter might stay in the rotation after the break. It will probably hinge on Bauer's performance Sunday.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter held the Brewers to one run on three hits in six innings Sunday, but got stuck with a no-decision in Arizona's 2-1 loss.

He struck out five and walked none. Collmenter has acquitted himself well since rejoining the Diamondbacks rotation, but he still can't be counted on to fool teams on a start-to-start basis. He's back of the roster fodder in NL-only leagues. He'll get the Dodgers at home on Friday.

Josh Collmenter - R - Diamondbacks

Josh Collmenter is back in the Arizona rotation.

With Daniel Hudson facing Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery, the D'Backs need a starter now and for the remainder of the season. Tyler Skaggs seems like the best long-term option, but Collmenter will handle the rotation vacancy through at least the All-Star break.
