Boston signed Godley to a minor-league deal shortly after he was launched by the Tigers at the start of Summer Camp. Godley didnt right away command a 40-man lineup area, but it constantly appeared most likely he d get a look on an unsure pitching staff.
The wheels fell off totally in 2019. Between Arizona and Toronto, Godley turned in a 5.97 ERA in 33 appearances (9 starts) with significant declines in his strikeouts and grounders. Along the way, Godleys lost some velocity on both his cutter and sinker. Offered his rather recent decent track record, though, its easy to see why the Red Sox want to give him another appearance. Their present top four beginners- Nathan Eovaldi, Martín Pérez, Ryan Weber and Matt Hall– barely motivate a lot of confidence.
Covey, too, is a recent addition to the pitching staff, having been gotten from the Rays on Tuesday. The three-year White Sox starter tossed two innings in relief in the other days loss to the Orioles.
The Red Sox revealed they have chosen right-hander Zack Godley to their Active and 40-man rosters. Fellow right-hander Dylan Covey has actually been optioned to their small league training website to clear active lineup area. Their 40-man roster now sits at 39 players.
