Tristan Crawford pitched 3 innings over 2 games, lowering his ERA by .05 points. He had 3 K's and 3 BB's.

John Thomas got into 1 game and went 2 innings. His ERA went up by a pretty horrid .96 points, and he had 5 BB's against just 2 K's.

Julio DePaula got into 2 games, pitching 2 innings. His ERA went down by .16 points, and he picked up 2 K's.

Nick Blackburn pitched 2 innings in 1 game. His ERA went up by .08 points, and he had 2 K's to 1 BB.

Adam Harben got a spot start and appeared once in relief, for a total of 8 innings. He lost a game, and his ERA increased by .08 points, picking up 4 K's and 4 BB's.

Justin Olson's only appearance was a start that lasted 6 innings, but that was before Sawatski returned to the team, and I assume he will now be used primarily in relief. He picked up a win and lowered his ERA by .41 points, while picking up 5 K's and 2 BB's.
