The Mets signed Devenski to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Devenski, who turns 34 next month, held a 6.75 ERA and 24:14 K:BB over 26.2 innings for the Rays this season before finishing the year in the minors with the Mariners. He will compete for a bullpen job in spring training.

The Reds designated Leibrandt for assignment Monday.

It's a procedural move designed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Leibrandt had been set to become a free agent following the World Series.

Hartlieb signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees on Saturday.

Hartlieb got extended looks in the majors in 2019 and 2020, but he has since pitched primarily in the minors. He'll have a chance to serve as bullpen depth for the Yankees in 2025.

Henriquez is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The Dodgers have gotten Alex Vesia (ribs) and Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) back and Henriquez is one of the roster casualties. He has allowed four runs over five relief innings this postseason.

Graterol (shoulder) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Graterol has been out since the final week of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing recently and showed enough that the Dodgers felt comfortable including him on their roster for the Fall Classic. The hard thrower is capable of handling high-leverage innings and could be needed for them with Evan Phillips (arm) out of commission.

Vesia (ribs) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Vesia was left off the NLCS roster because of a rib cage injury, but he threw a successful simulated game Wednesday which convinced the Dodgers he was healthy enough to return. The left-hander made three scoreless relief appearances during the NLDS.

Phillips (arm) is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Phillips revealed Thursday that he dealt with arm fatigue during his NLCS Game 6 appearance. While he said at the time he expected to be on the World Series roster, the Dodgers ultimately opted to leave him off. Phillips had made five scoreless appearances this postseason.

Fulmer was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Fulmer appeared in 37 games with the Angels in 2024 and posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Because he has been outrighted multiple times, he could opt for free agency and seek a new opportunity heading into 2025.

Marte (shoulder) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Marte underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-September and is presumably still recovering. He could be ready to throw by spring training, though no official timeline has been announced by the team.

Wantz (elbow) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Wantz underwent a procedure on his elbow in mid-July, but it was not Tommy John surgery. Nevertheless, he was unable to return to the mound in 2024 after experiencing a setback. He'll presumably be ready for the start of spring training, which would roughly be in line with his initial recovery timetable.
