The Mets announced a series of roster moves today. Outfielder/designated hitter has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. The club also activated recent waiver claimee and recalled right-hander . To open spots for those two arms, Ryan Miller Jersey the club optioned right-hander and designated right-hander for a signment. Additionally, left-hander s optional a signment was reversed and he has instead been placed on the major league 15-day injured list due to a right hip impingement. Devenski, 34, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in the offseason. He was selected to the big league roster in April. As a veteran with well over five years of major league service time, he cant be optioned to the minors without his consent. The Mets have optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse three times this year, so he presumably agreed to those transactions. This time, instead of being optioned, hes been designated for a signment. The Mets didnt need to open a 40-man spot today, so its unclear why theyve done so. With the deadline coming up, they are expected to pursue bullpen upgrades. Perhaps the Mets, or Devenski, realized that their relationship might not extend much farther. From Devenskis perspective, if hes going to get squeezed down the depth chart, perhaps now is a good time to open himself up to other clubs rather than accept another stint in Syracuse. Whatever the reasoning, he is now in DFA limbo, which can last as long as a week. The waiver proce s takes 48 hours, so the Mets could take five days to explore trade interest. Around his optional a signments, Devenski has to sed 11 1/3 innings big league innings for the Mets this year, allowing three earned runs on seven hits, three walks and two hit-by-pitches while striking out nine. He has also thrown 25 Triple-A innings with a 4.32 ERA, 17.2% strikeout rate, 4% walk rate and 50.6% ground ball rate. Devenskis best seasons came with the Astros almost a decade ago. More recently, his results have been up and down. He had an encouraging showing in 2023, split between the Angels and Rays. That year, he to sed 42 1/3 innings with a 4.46 ERA, 24.3% strikeout rate and 6.4% walk rate. The Rays re-signed him for 2024 but Devenski posted a 6.75 ERA last year. He was released by July and was stuck in the minors the rest of the year. Photo courtesy of Gregory Fisher, Imagn Images Adam Cimber Jersey
