The New York Mets recalled veteran right-hander Chris Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, while left-hander Jose Castillo was designated for assignment.

Devenski, 34, had a 2.84 ERA over 11 appearances (one start) for the Mets earlier this season before he was designated for assignment and then signed a new deal with the club.

In 10 major league seasons, Devenski is 27-22 with a 3.95 ERA in 314 appearances (eight starts) for six clubs, including his first five seasons (2016-20) with the Houston Astros.

Castillo, 29, has gone 1-2 with a 4.98 ERA in 21 relief appearances with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Mets this season.
