JOSÉ GODOY NEWS

Headed to minors camp Godoy was assigned to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Godoy put pen to paper on a minor-league contract that included an invitation to spring training in February, and he made the most of his chances before being sent down. He went 5-for-13 with three RBI, two walks and one run scored over 12 contests.

Dropped from 40-man roster Godoy cleared waivers Monday and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.

Impact Godoy was optioned to Norfolk last week following an abbreviated stay with the big club, but he'll now move off the 40-man roster entirely with the Orioles needing to clear a spot for infielder Jordan Westburg, who was called up from Triple-A. After clearing waivers, Godoy will remain in the organization as catching depth at the Orioles' top affiliate.

Optioned to Triple-A Godoy was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Godoy was up with the big club as their third catcher for a couple days, but the Orioles have elected to swap him out with Anthony Bemboom. The 28-year-old will head back to Norfolk to join their catching corps.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected from Triple-A Baltimore selected Godoy's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Impact Godoy takes the roster spot of James McCann, as McCann was placed on the injured list prior to Sunday's game versus the Cubs with a left ankle sprain. Acquired from the Yankees in a trade at the beginning of June, Godoy will be the backup backstop to Adley Rutschman while he's on the major-league roster.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to O's The Yankees traded Godoy to the Orioles on Friday.

Impact Godoy holds a .855 OPS through 41 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. He'll provide the Orioles with organizational depth behind the plate, but Godoy's .334 OPS in the majors will likely prevent them from bringing him onto the big-league squad anytime soon.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Godoy was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday.

Impact After slashing .050/.136/.050 over 22 major-league plate appearances in 2022, Godoy will lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The Pirates claimed fellow catcher Ali Sanchez off waivers from Detroit to replace Godoy on the roster.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to minors Godoy was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Impact Godoy made just 20 at-bats in the majors this season, and only one of them resulted in a hit. He will now be sent to Triple-A Indianapolis, where he has a .947 OPS over 42 plate appearances in 2022. To fill his roster spot, the Pirates recalled Tucupita Marcano in a corresponding move.

OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up, will start Monday The Pirates selected Godoy's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Impact Godoy will likely step in as the Pirates' No. 2 catcher behind Jason Delay while Tyler Heineman (concussion) resides on the 7-day injured list. The 27-year-old is hitless in 10 big-league at-bats this season but has impressed with a .947 OPS in Indianapolis, albeit in just 42 plate appearances. Godoy will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's series opener with the Reds while Delay rests.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Loses roster spot Godoy was designated for assignment Sunday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Godoy was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Aug. 17 and is now cast off the 40-man roster. Cam Vieaux had his contract selected in the corresponding move.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Godoy to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Impact Godoy will lose his spot on the 26-man active roster with the Pirates bringing back fellow catcher Tyler Heineman (groin) from the 10-day injured list. During his abbreviated stay with the big club after he was claimed off waivers from the Twins earlier this month, Godoy went 0-for-7 with an RBI over four games.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Thursday Godoy (illness) is starting at catcher and batting eighth Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Godoy is ready to go for Thursday's contest after missing a few games while dealing with heat illness and cramping. He's gone 0-for-5 with two walks and two runs scored in two games with the Pirates since being claimed by the team Aug. 5.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Experiences cramping Godoy was removed in the sixth inning of Sunday's 8-1 win over the Orioles due to heat illness and general body cramping, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He we...

Impact Godoy was making his first start for Pittsburgh after being claimed off waivers from the Twins on Friday. The Pirates are listing him as day-to-day, but assuming he's feeling better after getting properly hydrated, Godoy should be ready to go for Monday's series opener in Arizona. He may continue to split time behind the plate with Jason Delay while both are healthy and available.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Pirates Godoy was claimed by the Pirates on Friday.

Impact He will be active for Friday's game against the Orioles. Godoy was designated for assignment by the Twins earlier this week. He hit .197/.272/.299 with three home runs in 42 games at Triple-A and only has five plate appearances this year in the majors.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moved off 40-man roster The Twins designated Godoy for assignment Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll forfeit his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Aaron Sanchez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul in advance of his scheduled start Monday against the Tigers. Godoy made two appearances with the big club earlier this season when the Twins required extra catching depth, but he's otherwise toiled at Triple-A St. Paul throughout the campaign.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Godoy was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul following the completion of Wednesday's suspended game on Thursday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Godoy came off the bench during the suspended game but never game to the plate. The 27-year-old has appeared in one game between his two stints in the majors this season, and he'll return to St. Paul, where he has a .241/.313/.276 slash line in eight contests.

MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from minors The Twins recalled Godoy from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact The addition of Godoy will allow the Twins to deploy Gary Sanchez primarily as a designated hitter, while Ryan Jeffers serves as the team's everyday catcher. Sanchez could still be used as behind the plate on the days Jeffers is out of the lineup, so Godoy won't be a lock to receive any starts during his upcoming stint with the big club.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors The Twins optioned Godoy to Triple-A St. Paul following Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Minnesota already has two other catchers on the active roster in Gary Sanchez and Ryan Jeffers, so it was an easy decision for the organization to send Godoy back to the minors as it reduces its roster from 28 to 26 ahead of Monday's deadline to do so. Following his April 23 call-up, Godoy appeared in just one game, going 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Twins Godoy's contract was selected by the Twins on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Godoy was designated for assignment shortly before Opening Day, but he's needed again just over two weeks into the season with Gary Sanchez battling abdominal tightness. Godoy will back up Ryan Jeffers for now, but Sanchez hasn't been placed on the injured list, so Godoy's stay on the active roster could be brief. Jhon Romero (biceps) hit the injured list in a corresponding move.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to Triple-A Godoy will report to Triple-A St. Paul after going unclaimed on waivers Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Godoy was designated for assignment last week but will remain in the organization since he wasn't claimed on waivers. The 27-year-old made his big-league debut with Seattle last year and hit .162/.225/.189 in 40 plate appearances.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Godoy was designated for assignment by the Twins on Monday, Dustin Morse of the Twins Communications reports.

Impact After being claimed off waivers by the Twins March 17, the catcher played in seven games this spring, producing two hits and three RBI over eight at-bats. Godoy will now do one of three things, get claimed by another team, report to Triple-A St. Paul or he'll be released outright. In 16 games with the Mariners in 2021, the 27-year-old struggled to a .162 average while striking out 14 times in 37 at-bats.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Twins Godoy was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Thursday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Godoy was claimed by the Giants on Sunday after being designated for assignment by the Mariners. However, the Giants designated him for assignment Thursday to make room for Joc Pederson on the active roster. The Twins have Gary Sanchez and Ryan Jeffers on their major-league roster after trading Mitch Garver on Saturday, so Godoy appears most likely to begin the year at Triple-A St. Paul since he has two minor-league options left.

MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scooped up by Giants The Giants claimed Godoy off waivers from the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Though Godoy will presumably join the Giants for big-league spring training, he still has two minor-league options remaining and is most likely being targeted for the Triple-A Sacramento roster. The addition of Godoy helps the Giants shore up some organizational depth at catcher following the retirement of Buster Posey, who is expected to be replaced by Joey Bart as the team's everyday option behind the plate in 2022. Godoy had the chance to make his MLB debut last season with Seattle, playing in 16 games while hitting .162 with three RBI across 40 plate appearances.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster The Mariners designated Godoy for assignment Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Seattle dropped both Godoy and lefty reliever Aaron Fletcher from the 40-man roster, presumably for the purpose of clearing up openings for potential free-agent signings or trade pickups. If Godoy passes through waivers unclaimed, he'll remain in the Seattle organization and provide catching depth at Triple-A Tacoma for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old backstop reached the majors for the first time in 2021, batting .162 across 40 plate appearances over 16 games with the Mariners.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Godoy was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact Godoy has struggled at the plate since getting his first big-league call-up May 20, logging just six hits in 40 plate appearances. He'll head back to Tacoma for the time being, with Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens set to man the major-league catching duties for the time being.

JUNE 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday lineup Godoy is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Angels.

Impact Godoy will get his second game off in the last three days, with Tom Murphy taking over the catching duties Sunday.
