The Cincinnati Reds and starting pitcher Zack Godley have come to terms on a minor league contract. Godley had some solid years of production from 2015 to 2019 in the Arizona Diamondbacks' rotation and last pitched in 2021 for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2021, Godley threw just 3 1/3 innings for the Brewers while posting a 16.20 ERA. He should not be trusted for fantasy purposes even if he receives a roster spot coming out of spring training.
The Cleveland Indians are signing right-hander Zack Godley to a minor league deal on Monday. Godley chose free agency over an outright assignment with the Milwaukee Brewers last week. Cleveland will add some more veteran rotation depth with Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac and Aaron Civale all currently on the injured list. The 31-year-old Godley had just two outings (one start) for Milwaukee, allowing six earned runs and two home runs while striking out five and walking five in just 3 1/3 innings. In eight appearances (seven starts) for the Boston Red Sox in 2020, he posted an 8.16 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 28/14 K/BB in 28 2/3 innings. Even if Godley makes a spot start or two for Cleveland, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him at all costs.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zack Godley (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right finger contusion, the team announced on Twitter. Godley had just joined the Brewers this week, and made his first appearance of the year on Wednesday where he allowed four runs three earned on one hit and five walks with five strikeouts in three innings of work against the Marlins. Godley didn't really have any value in fantasy this year, so managers can continue to leave him on the waiver-wire in all formats.
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Zack Godley was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Thursdays contest against Tampa Bay due to a flexor strain in his right elbow. The club recalled left-hander Matt Hall to take Godleys spot on the roster, with the ailment further debilitating a pitching staff already in shambles amid a string of injuries in 2020. In eight appearances (seven starts), Godley has yielded an 8.16 ERA with a whopping nine homers in just 28 frames. Martin Perez is the last remaining healthy full-time rotation arm that the Red Sox have at this point, making them a daily DFS and season-long fantasy target for fantasy owners over the final two-plus weeks.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Zack Godley may have the opportunity to join the rotation in the near future after an impressive relief outing in Monday's 7-4 loss against the Mets. Godley, who signed a minor-league deal during summer camp, threw four scoreless innings and struck out seven batters while allowing four hits in his appearance out of the Red Sox bullpen. Well see, manager Ron Roenicke said after the game. Well talk about it and see how it matches up. He certainly pitched well enough that its definitely a conversation that were going to have. The 30-year-old is a candidate to start on the weekend in the upcoming series against the Yankees, but fantasy owners should avoid the veteran right-hander if he takes on the high-powered Yankees offense.
Zack Godley and Matt Hall Likely To Pitch In Upcoming Series
Boston Red Sox pitchers Zack Godley and Matt Hall are likely to see action at the start of their series against the New York Mets on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Godley was selected to the major league roster on Sunday, with pitcher Dylan Covey being optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move. We should pitch him (Godley) somewhere, whether were starting him or relieving him (Monday), Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said. Left-hander Matt Hall is likely to start the following game against the Mets, and according to Roenicke, the 27-year-old will be able to pitch multiple innings. Ultimately, both Godley and Hall will be limited to extremely deep AL-only formats as a result of innings limits and a tough match-up against a quality lineup.
Former Diamondback and current Toronto Blue Jay Zack Godley earned the win on Tuesday night, serving as the primary pitcher behind opener Wilmer Font. Godley went three innings, giving up no runs on two hits and two walks on his way to earning his first victory since being traded to Toronto. In his five appearances with the Blue Jays, Godley is 1-0 in 13 innings with a 4.85 ERA. He has almost zero fantasy appeal.
The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed starting pitcher Zack Godley off waivers after he was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. After an awful start to the season that saw Godley allow 25 earned runs over six starts, the Diamondbacks moved him into the bullpen in May. Although he has made spot starts since, his best stretch came in July, where he pitched eight innings out of the bullpen, striking out nine and allowing three earned runs. After an appearance on Aug. 3 saw Godley give up three earned runs in 2 2/3 innings, the Diamondbacks designated the 29-year-old for assignment. He'll get a chance to start again for the Blue Jays, but with his 6.39 ERA, he isn't worth a look in anything but the deepest leagues.
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Godley struggled in relief on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Godley followed spot starter Archie Bradley and gave up six runs on seven hits through 4 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one. The righty had been pitching extremely well in a relief role since being removed from the starting rotation. The D-backs this time decided to use Godley after the opener and he struggled in that role. It remains to be seen whether Godley will be the long man or simply a middle relief option in his next appearance.
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Godley opened for his team on Sunday in a game against the Atlanta Braves. Godley tossed two innings of one-run ball with two strikeouts before giving way to relievers Jon Duplantier and T.J. McFarland. Manager Torey Lovullo said after the game that Godley was out there to take one turn through the order. It remains to be seen, however, if Godley will remain in the role as an opener, or if he will go back to the bullpen where he was recently being utilized.
