Rays lose a third veteran reliever to injury

Rays lose a third veteran reliever to injury

The Rays lost another veteran reliever to injury on Monday, with right-hander Chris Devenski sidelined for at least 15 days due to right knee tendinitis. Devenski is the third proven member of the bullpen to be placed on the injured list over the last eight days, joining closer Pete Fairbanks (nerve-related issue) and top lefty Colin Poche (mid-back tightness). Lefty Jacob Lopez, a starter at Triple-A Durham, was called up to take Devenski's spot. Manager Kevin Cash said losing the trio of relievers had a “large” impact on the bullpen.
