Chris Devenski - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Removed from Triple-A IL Devenski (head) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Anthony Murphy of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Devenski opened the season on the 7-day IL due to a head injury that he sustained in mid-March, when he took a batted ball to the side of his head. He pitched in two rehab games for Single-A Bradenton and has progressed enough in his recovery to pitch in Triple-A. Devenski spent the majority of 2025 in the minors but did appear in 13 regular-season games with the Mets, posting a 2.16 ERA and 0.90 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

Unable to win roster spot The Pirates reassigned Devenski (head) to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Devenski had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee and had allowed four earned runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.1 innings during the Grapefruit League. He hadn't pitched since March 13 after taking a line drive off his head in a game against the Tigers, but the veteran reliever was able to walk off the field under his own power and has been resting comfortably at home ever since, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. Assuming he doesn't opt out of his minor-league contract with Pittsburgh, Devenski appears likely to open the season on Triple-A Indianapolis' injured list.

Suffers head injury Friday Devenski was removed from Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers after being struck in the head by a batted ball.

Impact Devenski took a batted ball to the side of his head but appeared to be alert while being carted off the field. He'll continue to undergo tests and treatment from medical staff, and the Pirates should provide an update on the 35-year-old right-hander over the coming days. Devenski signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in January after playing for the Mets organization in 2025. He mostly played for Triple-A Syracuse last year but appeared in 13 regular-season games (one start) for the Mets, posting a 2.16 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 16.2 innings.
