The Arizona Diamondbacks are already missing Josh Collmenter in the bullpen.

Thanks to the starting rotation averaging just 5.1 innings per start, the Diamondbacks’ bullpen was overtaxed more than any other group in the majors last season. They tossed 579.1 innings total.

Josh Collmenter frequently went multiple innings last season to save the rest of the bullpen from working multiple days in a row. Having someone like this is so valuable to a team, and something the team has missed in its first series.
