ZACK GODLEY
Gets minors deal from A's Godley signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Tuesday.
Let go by Mets The Mets released Godley on Monday, Steve Adams of MLBTradeRumors.com reports.
Impact Godley's stint in the Mets organization lasted just three weeks. He made four appearances for Triple-A Syracuse, compiling a 2.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 19.1 innings. He's now been cut loose from three organizations in the past two months after previously getting released by Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Time over in Cleveland organization Cleveland released Godley on Monday.
Impact After declining an assignment to the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate when Milwaukee dropped him from its 40-man roster in late June, Godley quickly linked up on a minor-league deal with Cleveland. The 31-year-old right-hander was hoping to parlay a strong showing at Triple-A Columbus into a promotion back to the big leagues, but that never materialized. He was cut loose after posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 24 innings over six starts with Columbus.

Lands with Cleveland Godley joined Cleveland on a minor-league deal Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Godley has allowed six earned runs in 3.1 innings this season and owns a 6.75 ERA over the last three years. He'll head to Triple-A Columbus for now.

JUNE 28, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Elects free agency Godley cleared waivers, was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville and elected to become a free agent Friday.
Impact The veteran right-hander was DFA'd by the Brewers on Monday for the second time this season, and he's elected free agency rather than returning to Triple-A. Godley appeared in two games for Milwaukee this season and surrendered six runs on four hits with five strikeouts and five walks over 3.1 innings.
JUNE 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for assignment Godley was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.
Impact Godley has already passed through waivers once this season back in mid-May. He's pitched just twice this season at the big-league level, giving up six earned runs in 3.1 innings, so there's seemingly a good chance he goes unclaimed again. Jake Cousins' contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Brewers reinstate infielder Kolten Wong from injured list
Second baseman Kolten Wong was reinstated from the 10-day injured list as part of a series of roster moves by the Milwaukee BrewersJUNE 19, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Contract selected by Brewers Godley's contract was selected by the Brewers on Friday.
Impact Godley was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville in mid-May after he returned from a finger injury, and he made six appearances (five starts) in the minors. He posted a 2.40 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 30 innings during that time and will now return to the major-league roster after right-hander Eric Yardley was sent down as part of a corresponding move.

Outrighted to Triple-A Godley was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Godley was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday but will now head to the minors after he went unclaimed on waivers. The right-hander allowed four runs (three earned) on one hit and five walks while striking out five in three innings during his lone major-league start this year.
MAY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Reinstated and removed from roster Godley (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated for assignment.
Impact Godley made a single start for the Brewers this season, lasting just three innings before exiting with a bruised finger. He'll now be available for any team to claim, but his 6.55 ERA over the last three seasons is unlikely to make him an attractive option.

Lands on IL Godley was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a bruised finger, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact He said his finger is not broken, just bruised, after injuring it on a bunt attempt Wednesday. Eric Lauer was recalled to start Thursday's game in a corresponding move.

Dealing with bruised finger Godley exited Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a bruised right index finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Godley was hit on the index finger on his throwing hand while he was bunting in the third inning and initially remained in the game, but he was later removed in the fourth inning. Godley was starting in place of Brett Anderson (hamstring) on Wednesday, and he struggled with command by issuing five walks in three frames. The severity of Godley's injury is unknown, and it's not yet clear whether he'll make another start, even if he's healthy in time for his next turn through the rotation.

Exits with apparent injury Godley left Wednesday's game against the Marlins in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Godley appeared to be hit on the index finger while bunting in the third inning, but he was able to initially remain in the game. However, he issued a walk to begin the fourth inning and hit Chad Wallach with a pitch prior to leaving the game with a trainer. It's not yet clear whether Godley's departure is related to his finger issue, and whether he's forced to miss additional time remains to be seen. Godley allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and five walks while striking out five in three innings prior to leaving the game.
APRIL 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Contract selected ahead of start Godley's contract was selected by the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact Godley is slated to start Wednesday's series finale against the Marlins since Brett Anderson (hamstring) is on the injured list. The right-hander made eight appearances (seven starts) for Boston in 2020 and posted an 8.16 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 28.2 innings.
APRIL 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Set to start Wednesday Manager Craig Counsell announced that Godley will start Wednesday's series finale against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 31-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Brewers toward the end of spring training, and he'll make his debut with the club Wednesday while Brett Anderson (hamstring) is on the injured list. Godley struggled with an 8.16 ERA over 28.2 innings for the Red Sox in 2020, but he could stick in the Brewers' rotation with a strong performance versus the Marlins, at least until Anderson recovers.
APRIL 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on injured list Godley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow flexor strain, retroactive to Sept. 7.
Impact Godley only lasted three innings in his last start as he was charged with his fourth loss of the season Friday. His injury could have contributed to his struggles as he'll now be sidelined at least 10 days as a result. It's unclear whether the right-hander will be able to return prior to the end of the season. Matt Hall was recalled in a corresponding move and could be a candidate to start while Godley recovers.

Impact Godley permitted a pair of long home runs in the second inning as the Red Sox were playing catch-up from a large deficit early -- a pattern that has played out often. Godley's ERA shot up to 8.16, but Boston doesn't have an arm to replace him, so he's expected to make his next start Thursday one the road against Tampa Bay.

Allows five runs in no-decision Godley allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk across 4.2 innings pitched in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Nationals. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Impact The Red Sox spotted Godley an early 5-0 lead, but the right-hander ran into trouble in the third, fourth and fifth innings, ultimately preventing him from qualifying for the win. He exited with Boston leading 8-5 with two outs in the fifth. Godley will look to lower his 7.71 ERA when he takes the ball against Toronto on Friday.
