Devenski struck out one over a scoreless seventh inning in Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta. He also hit a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski made his first MLB appearance since undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery in June of 2021. He has experience in high-leverage spots, but it's expected the Diamondbacks will acclimate Devenski in low-pressure situations at first. He entered Friday's game with Arizona down by three runs.

Devenski had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski missed the first couple months of the year while finishing his rehab from Tommy John surgery, and he'll join the Diamondbacks after making six appearances with Triple-A Reno. The right-hander allowed six earned runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings for Reno.

Devenski (elbow) was activated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list Friday and struck out two while allowing two earned runs on two hits in an inning out of the bullpen in his season debut for the affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski tossed three scoreless innings over three rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before he was cleared to debut for the Triple-A club. The veteran right-hander has reached the finish line in his recovery from May 2021 Tommy John surgery, but he'll still need to perform effectively at the Triple-A level before the Diamondbacks consider purchasing his contract from Reno.

Devenski (elbow) threw a scoreless inning, striking out one, in an Arizona Complex League game on Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was Devenski's first rehab outing since undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery last June. The organization's plans for the veteran reliever are unclear. The Diamondbacks currently rank 21st in bullpen ERA at 4.29, so they could use some help. The club is in the initial stages of a rebuild, so it would seem Devenski is not viewed as a part of the future, but he could set himself up for his next gig with a strong second half in 2022.

Devenski (elbow) was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski resumed mound work in late March but isn't expected to return to game action until sometime around the middle of the season. He'll continue his recovery process with the minor-league club.

Devenski (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marked the first time Devenski has thrown off a mound since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2021. The 31-year-old righty is targeting a midseason or second-half return.

Devenski underwent Tommy John surgery Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski had been sidelined since mid-May due to a sprained UCL, and he'll miss the remainder of the year following his Tommy John surgery. Given the lengthy recovery timetable, the right-hander will also likely miss the start of the 2022 campaign.

Devenski (elbow) has opted to undergo elbow surgery, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo could not divulge the nature of the procedure until a surgeon is able to see the extent of the ligament damage. It sounds like a number of possible outcomes including Tommy John surgery.

Devenski was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday with a sprained UCL in his right elbow.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old last pitched Thursday against the Marlins and surrendered two runs on four hits over two-thirds of an inning. Devenski will now be sidelined for at least the next two months while on the 60-day IL, though given it's a UCL injury a longer absence wouldn't be surprising.

Devenski allowed two runs on four hits over two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Devenski entered a high-leverage situation and ceded four consecutive hits. It was the fifth time in eight outings the reliever has allowed inherited runners, or his own runners, to score. At one point, Devenski was in the mix for the unsettled closer job in Arizona, but that no longer appears to be the case. The right-hander has an 8.59 ERA and 1.77 WHIP with a 54.5 percent strand rate.
