Crismatt is not on the Padres' 26-man wild-card roster.
Crismatt was called up from Triple-A El Paso to pitch as a part of Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Giants, pitching four innings while allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts. He will not be included on the initial postseason roster, though his 2.94 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 67.1 innings this year could garner him a shot if the team advances to the next round of the playoffs.

Padres' Nabil Crismatt: Back with big club
Rotowire
The Padres recalled Crismatt from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.
Crismatt will be joining the 28-man active roster as a replacement for Mike Clevinger (illness), who was scheduled to start Wednesday's regular-season finale versus the Giants before his surprise placement on the injured list. Craig Stammen is now scheduled to start Wednesday, but he's unlikely to work much longer than two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Crismatt could be one of multiple relievers who sees work once Stammen exits.

Rotowire
Crismatt (5-1) earned the win over the Giants on Thursday, striking out three batters and issuing one walk in a scoreless inning.

Crismatt was credited with the win as a result of Jorge Alfaro's walk-off double in the bottom of the frame.
