Devenski went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 35-year-old journeyman figures to stick around as emergency depth for the final two weeks of the season. He allowed eight runs over 5 1/3 innings during his latest stint with New York.
Called up on August 28, Devenski had a 13.50 ERA in 5 1/3 innings with the Mets this year. The 35-year-old will likely clear waivers and be outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse. After that he’ll get to decide if he wants to stay with the organization.
The former Astros All-Star spent most of the year with Pittsburgh’s minor leagues before being outrighted. He signed with the Mets on August 12. Devenski has a 1.13 ERA in 24 minor-league innings this year and the 35-year-old will be in the low leverage mix for the Mets.
Devenski posted a strong 2.16 ERA across 16 2/3 innings for the Mets last year. The 35-year-old journeyman reliever was cut loose by the Pirates last week after missing three months due to an undisclosed illness. He’s merely emergency organizational relief depth at this stage of his career.
Devenski was jettisoned from Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster after spending three months on the injured list with an undisclosed illness. The 35-year-old journeyman reliever made three appearances for the Pirates earlier this year.
Nothing has changed in the prognosis for Devenski who has been shelved since early May due to an illness. This was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the Pirates’ 40-man roster for the addition of Davis Wendzel on Sunday.
Devenski was supposed to return today from a two-game suspension for hitting Sal Stewart, but he’ll be down for at least a couple of weeks. The veteran has given up two runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings for the Pirates.
Devenski also received an undisclosed fine. Unless he appeals the suspension, it will begin tonight against the Diamondbacks.
Devenski has been good at Triple-A this season, pitching to a 1.13 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and 14/2 K/BB ratio in eight innings at Triple-A. He should add some veteran experience to the Pirates’ bullpen.
Once a mainstay in the Astros pen, Devenski got hurt in 2020 and has bounced around since, throwing a total of 107 2/3 innings in the majors the last five years. He pitched 16 2/3 innings with a 2.16 ERA for the Mets last year, but apart from that, his best ERA since 2019 is 4.46 in 2023.
Devenski pitched extremely well this season in middle relief for New York, registering a strong 2.16 ERA across 16 2/3 innings of work over 13 appearances. The 34-year-old journeyman reliever has made 316 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2016. He should be able to latch on somewhere this offseason as emergency organizational depth.
Devenski will likely remain in the organization once again, keeping him available for the postseason if needed (and if the Mets get there). He has a 2.16 ERA in 13 appearances for the Mets this season.
Devenski has been jettisoned from New York’s relief corps following another brief stint in the big leagues. The 34-year-old veteran reliever has posted a strong 2.16 ERA across 16 2/3 innings over 13 appearances this season. He’ll likely pass through waivers unclaimed and could re-surface at some point in the final week or postseason as a middle relief option.
The Mets are reshuffling the back of their bullpen on Thursday, and so Devenski will get another shot with the big club. He has a .230 ERA in 15 2/3 innings with the Mets so far this season.
