The operation was performed Tuesday by Dr. James Andrews, and A's manager Bob Geren said he was waiting for a prognosis.

Devine has been on the disabled list since the season started. Going into spring training, he was expected to share the closer's role with Brad Ziegler.

Devine went 6-1 with a 0.59 ERA and one save last season. He struck out 49 and walked 15 in 42 games covering 45 2-3 innings.

The A's were in New York to play the Yankees.
