Pirates Chris Devenski and Manager Don Kelly Suspended: A Look at the Impact on the Team and Devenskis Performance

Chris Devenski, a former All-Star reliever for the Pirates, was initially suspended for three games and fined by MLB after being accused of intentionally throwing at rookie Sal Stewart during a game against the Cincinnati Reds. However, the suspension was reduced to two games through a settlement deal. Devenski, who signed with the Pirates in January and was called up on April 29th, has given up two runs on five hits, no walks, and three strikeouts over two and one-third innings in his three relief appearances. The suspensions have forced the Pirates to shuffle their bullpen early in the season, testing their depth. The team will look to bounce back this week following the discipline drama.
