Fantasy Impact:
Devenski, 35, has had a solid 10-year Major League career, but he has had trouble landing a full-time gig since leaving the Astros after the 2020 season. Devenski was sensational in his first two seasons in Houston, finishing fourth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2018 and earning an All-Star nod in 2019. All told, the righthander has a career ERA of 3.91 in 416.2 innings with six different teams. This is a low-risk, high-reward signing for the Pirates. If Devenski can land a spot on the Opening Day roster, he would provide a veteran presence for a relatively young relief corps.
