Devenski (8-4) surrendered two hits and two runs in one innings in Houston's 11-4 loss in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland Coliseum has been a house of horrors for Houston, particularly its bullpen. The Astros lost Friday's game on a walk-off hit, then were swept in Saturday's twinbill by a total score of 22-5. Over the first three games of the series, Houston's bullpen has allowed 23 earned runs over 10.1 innings (20.03 ERA). That ineptitude spread to Devenski, arguably Houston's most indispensible reliever.

Devenski pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts to record his fourth save of the season during Sunday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Devenski pitched three scoreless frames Saturday to earn his seventh win, so it's been a huge weekend for the standout reliever. With a 2.50 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 11.3 K/9 for the campaign, the 26-year-old righty has been a strong fantasy asset this season. While regular save opportunities aren't in he equation, his top-tier ratios and high-leverage role still carry plenty of value.

Devenski (7-3) pitched 2.1 scoreless innings during Thursday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After a little bit of a rough patch, Devenski has now allowed just one earned run through 11.2 innings over his past 13 appearances. With a 2.57 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 11.2 K/9 for the season, he's proven to be a valuable reliever in the majority of fantasy settings.

Devenski's recent struggles are traced to failing command of his fastball and slider, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Devenski has allowed eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits, including four home runs, and four walks over his last 9.2 innings. "He's got to push through some things." manager A.J. Hinch said. "The walks are uncommon for him. And him not being able to locate his fastball, he's trying to do a little too much." Devenski has been an important piece of the Astros' bullpen, pitching in all kinds of high-leverage situations. While his latest stretch has been unpleasant, Devenski maintains a high strikeout rate (11.7 K/9) and will continue to throw when games are on the line.

Devenski has allowed a home run in four of his last seven appearances (7.2 innings).

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old had allowed only four home runs all season prior to this stretch, and has seen his ERA climb from 2.09 to 2.88. Devenski still has a 6-3 record with 15 holds and a fantastic 0.83 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 on the season. The right-hander remains a versatile bullpen option for the Astros and in all fantasy formats.

Devenski (6-3) pitched 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts to earn the victory against the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The six wins is tied for first among AL relievers, to go along with 11 holds for the Astros' right-hander. Devenski has been one of the most versatile bullpen pieces in baseball and features a 2.09 ERA and 0.77 WHIP with 72 strikeouts and only 13 walks over 51.2 innings this season.

Devenski pitched two scoreless innings, striking out four in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

With Houston leading, 5-0, Devenski entered in the fifth inning to earn an easy win after starter Mike Fiers was done in by a rising pitch count. Devenski routinely pitches multiple innings and will get the call when starters are unable to give the Astros length. Sunday's effort was his third straight appearance having pitched at least two innings and the 11th time out of 33 appearances he's been called on to get at least six outs.

Devenski worked around two hits and a walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Thursday's 6-1 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Devenski has logged 17.1 innings during the month of June, helping to shore up a rotation featuring four fill-in starters. Devenski and rest of his mates in the pen have pitched 43 percent of the innings through Thursday's game, compared to 35 percent in April and 37 percent in May. Only once in the last 11 games has a Houston starter completed six innings.

Devenski threw a clean ninth inning with three strikeouts to earn his third save of the season Thursday against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

It took just 15 pitches for Devenski to take care of Rajai Davis, Chad Pinder, and Jaycob Brugman to earn the save after the A's had put together a rally to make the game uncomfortably close for the Astros. Ken Giles still has a strong hold on the closer's role for the Astros, but Devenski has elite numbers across the board that make him a viable ninth inning option on days where manager A.J. Hinch wants to give his regular closer a rest day. Devenski is sporting a 12.87 K/9 rate and also owns an impressive 0.82 WHIP over 42.2 innings.

Devenski allowed one hit over two scoreless innings in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Devesnki, who picked up his sixth hold of the season, protected the lead and helped make a winner of Mike Fiers who managed to stave off a demotion to the bullpen. This was the first time Devenski had pitched since last Friday. A couple of weeks ago, his unorthodox usage pattern had him on pace to top 100 innings, so manager A.J. Hinch made a conscious effort to manage the right-hander's innings. After averaging 2.1 innings per appearance during the month of April, Devenski is down to 1.1 innings per outing during May.
