In May, he was promoted to Triple-A Tucson, where he went 1–1 with a 1.77 ERA in three starts.[9] On June 18, he was called up to the big leagues when pitcher José Valverde was placed on the disabled list.[9] Cormier's first major league start was on June 19 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and he took the loss, allowing seven runs on six hits in 1.1 innings as the Devil Rays went on to win 11–4.[10] After the game, he was sent back down to Tucson, where he was elected the Diamondbacks Minor League Pitcher of the Month for June.

After being brought back up to the majors in July, he recorded his first big-league RBI on July 24.[11] On July 29, Cormier beat the Houston Astros, 6–4. He pitched six innings while striking out five, and recorded his first major league hit.[12] He made a move to the bullpen after losing his next two games.

After being demoted to the Richmond Braves on August 21, Cormier was called back up to the big league team four days later on August 25.
