Devenski 'honored' by callup to Astros

MILWAUKEE -- Chris Devenski and the rest of his Fresno Grizzlies teammates were on their way to Las Vegas for the first game of the season Wednesday when manager Tony DeFrancesco called him to the front of the bus and gave him a new itinerary. He was being rerouted to New York to join the Astros.

Devenski, who was called up after long reliever Michael Feliz threw 107 pitches Wednesday, didn't get to Yankee Stadium until the eighth inning of Thursday's series finale, but he was rested and ready to go Friday for this weekend's series against the Brewers.
