The Mariners announced that right-hander has been sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma. There was no previous indication he had been removed from their 40-man roster but they evidently pa sed him through waivers in recent days. Their 40-man roster count drops to 39. Devenski, 33, was signed by the Mariners at the start Moritz Wagner Jersey of July after being released by the Rays. Though he is a veteran with enough service time to decline an optional a signment, he apparently consented as he has been with Triple-A Tacoma for the past few weeks. He made six appearances there and allowed two earned runs. The Ms presumably have other uses in mind for that roster spot, so they bumped Devenski off. They have already been aggre sive in upgrading their offense and bullpen, having acquired , and in recent days. Theyve been connected in rumors to guys like and , so perhaps more roster shake-up is forthcoming. As for Devenski, he has more than enough service time to reject this outright and elect free agency, though its not yet clear if hes chosen to do so. Heading to the open market would make some sense, since plenty of clubs will have roster openings after the musical chairs of the deadline plays out. He was once quite a dominant reliever with the Astros, though hes a few years removed that performance now. Over 2016 and 2017, he had a 2.35 earned run average in 189 innings for Houston. He struck out 28.2% of batters faced and only gave out walks at a 6.4% clip. Injuries in the coming years, including Tommy John surgery, seemed to hamper his results. His ERA was a combined 4.56 in 2018 and 2019 then a ghastly 9.47 for the 2020-22 seasons. He then had a pretty unimpre sive start to his 2023 season, with a 5.08 ERA with the Angels. But that season finished strong as he had a 2.08 in nine appearances for the Rays. That prompted Tampa to re-sign him but he then had a 6.75 ERA this year, leading to his release and then his deal with the Mariners. Trevor Ariza Jersey
