Chris Devenski News: Booted from 40-man roster

The Mets designated Devenski for assignment Tuesday.

He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster to another right-handed reliever in Rico Garcia, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Yankees. Devenski has done a fine job with the Mets this season, collecting a 2.38 ERA and 9:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings. If he isn't claimed off waivers, Devenski will have the ability to elect free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse.
