Paul Sewald’s hot start with 23 saves in 24 chances has cooled off fast, as his ERA ballooned to 6.23 in June and 8.23 in July, prompting the Diamondbacks to ditch him as closer and adopt a bullpen committee. Even when not closing, Sewald struggled — once surrendering five runs without an out — and his last appearance was on August 5. With Brandyn Garcia stepping into the ninth and Zack Littell set to join the roster, the D-backs are reshaping their bullpen for the stretch run, making Sewald’s exit seem like both a necessity and a strategic move.
