The Mets re-signed pitcher Chris Devenski to a one-year deal after he was briefly designated for assignment, as the team deals with multiple pitching injuries and roster adjustments ahead of the trade deadline.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed outfielder Josh Lowe on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain, retroactive to May 23, and activated right-hander Chris Devenski from the 15-day IL. Lowe's absence, due to recurring injuries, has impacted the Rays' offensive performance, while Devenski has struggled with a 7.71 ERA this season.
The Los Angeles Angels have released outfielder Luis Barrera and right-hander Nash Walters from their minor league contracts. Meanwhile, Chris Devenski, who had the option to opt out of his own minors deal, will remain with the Angels' Triple-A club. Devenski has pitched only 25 2/3 total MLB innings since the start of the 2020 season due to injuries. Barrera, who has 38 Major League games on his resume, is known for his speed and ability to play all three outfield positions. Walters made his MLB debut in 2022 and has a 4.37 ERA over 224 2/3 career innings in the minors.
