Joey Devine recalled from Richmond
With his left hip flexor tendon deemed healthy, right-handed relief pitcher Joey Devine was called up by the Braves from Triple-A Richmond for the 2nd time on Tuesday. Devine, the Braves’ 1st round draft pick this season, stands a good chance at making the postseason roster given Blaine Boyer’s shoulder sprain and subsequent ineffectiveness. Devine injured his hip during his major league debut on August 20th. He hasn’t pitched since the 23rd of that month when he became the first pitcher to give up grand slams in his first 2 major league appearances.
