Devenski will be called up by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski will take the place of Jose Quijada with Quijada heading to the injured list. In seven appearances in the Pacific Coast League, Devenski has registered a 4.00 ERA with Salt Lake with a 9:3 K:BB ratio. He'll likely operate in the middle innings while with the team.

Devenski is staying with the Angels rather than opting out of his minor-league deal, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski had the option of declaring himself a free agent since the Angels didn't add him to their 40-man roster by Saturday, but the veteran hurler has instead decided to stick with the organization. Devenski struggled mightily with an 8.59 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 14.2 innings between the Diamondbacks and Phillies last season, but he'll try to work his way back to the majors through the Angels' Triple-A affiliate.

Devenski was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski was signed to a minor-league contract with an invite to spring training with the hope that he could make the Angels as a middle-innings option. He comes up short in that goal, and now is likely going to be a relief option for Triple-A Salt Lake to begin 2023. There's a chance he could join Los Angeles and their pitching staff in the early months if he pitches well, but the Angels will have to add Devenski to their 40-man roster in order for him to pitch in the majors.

Devenski signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski will receive another chance to get back on track after struggling to see consistent big-league action during his last three seasons. He's allowed 27 earned runs to go along with a 22:6 K:BB across 25.2 frames over his last three years in the big leagues, spending time in Houston, Arizona and Philadelphia. Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, Devenski is set to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training.

Devenski was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski will return to Triple-A after being called up Sept. 25. While in the big leagues, the reliever appeared in three games, surrendering five runs on seven hits while striking out three over four innings. Michael Plassmeyer was recalled from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Devenski had his contract selected by the Phillies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski signed with Philadelphia on a minor-league deal in late August, and he'll joined the big club Sunday after he allowed one run with an 11:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Brad Hand (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Devenski signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski parted ways with the Diamondbacks on Sunday, and it did not take him long to find work with a new club. Devenski had a rough go of it with Arizona the last couple years, but the Phillies will try to help him get back on track.

The Diamondbacks released Devenski on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski is now free to seek employment elsewhere after the Diamondbacks cast him off the 40-man roster Thursday before cutting him loose once he cleared waivers. After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Reno on July 26, the veteran reliever produced a 7.59 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 10.2 innings, so he may not have an active market for his services.

Devenski was designated for assignment by Arizona on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski was called up in late July but didn't do much in his 10 appearances, posting a 7.59 ERA in 10.2 innings. He's thrown just 21.2 innings at the major-league level since the start of the 2020 season, struggling to a 9.14 ERA over that stretch. That likely means the 31-year-old will pass through waivers unclaimed.
