Goeddel fired 1.2 scoreless innings in a loss to the Angels on Friday, recording three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Just called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, the 29-year-old right-hander was put right to work and responded in stellar fashion. Goeddel got some valuable outs for manager Scott Servais after another abbreviated Mike Leake start, retiring five Angels on an efficient 24 pitches. The strong performance was an extension of the success Goeddel had been enjoying with the Rainiers, for which he'd posted nine scoreless frames before his callup.

Goeddel was promoted to the big leagues prior to Thursday's game against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Mariners announced that Ichiro Suzuki was dropped from the active roster but will remain with the organization in an advisory role. Goeddel has appeared in nine games for Triple-A Tacoma this season and has yet to allow a run over nine innings of work. He will be utilized out of the bullpen in low-leverage situations.

Goeddel signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel had been in camp with the Rangers but was released Monday. The 29-year-old righty posted a 5.28 ERA in 29 innings with the Mets last season, though his xFIP was a respectable 3.98 and he struck out 27.1 percent of batters. He could be a big-league reliever but is unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset.

Goeddel was granted his release from the Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel wasn't expected to crack the Rangers' Opening Day roster after posting a 6.35 ERA across six spring appearances, so the right-hander has opted to look elsewhere for a major-league opportunity. He's coming off a lackluster 2017 campaign that saw him post a 5.28 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 29 innings with the Mets, so it's possible he's forced to settle for another minor-league deal.

The Rangers plan to stretch Goeddel out in spring training in an attempt to bolster the starting-pitching depth in the organization,
EDGE Analysis
With Cole Hamels, Doug Fister, Matt Moore and Mike Minor expected to break camp as members of the rotation and Martin Perez (elbow) on track to round out the staff before long, it's unlikely that Goeddel gets a legitimate shake for a starting role with the big club to open the season. However, Goeddel's performance in the spring could determine whether he claims a rotation spot at Triple-A Round Rock, or if the Rangers deploy him in the familiar bullpen role he filled with the Mets the past four seasons. Goeddel last worked as a full-time starter in 2013 at Double-A Binghamton, submitting a 4.37 ERA and 8.4 K/9 rate across 134 innings.

Goeddel signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday which includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel started the 2017 season in the minors before earning a promotion near the end of June and subsequently posting a 5.28 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 29 innings out of the Mets' bullpen. He did strikeout 33 batters over that span, and his solid strikeout potential could earn him a role in the Rangers' bullpen at some point in 2018.

Goeddel was taken off the Mets 40-man roster and officially cleared waivers Wednesday, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel will look for a new home after spending the first seven years of his professional career with the Mets. During the 2017 campaign, he appeared out of the bullpen on 33 occasions, posting a 5.28 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 20 innings.

Goeddel (dizziness) logged one-third of an inning in Monday's game in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
This was his first action since Sept. 5, as he had been sidelined with blurred vision and dizziness. He should continue to operate in a mid-leverage role out of the Mets' bullpen over the rest of the season.

Goeddel (dizziness) participated in baseball activities Thursday and is day-to-day, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

Goeddel has been dealing with some dizziness and blurred vision recently, but will partake in limited baseball activity back in New York on Wednesday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goeddel received medication for this setback, and could be able to return to the field sometime next week once he's able to regain his full range of vision. The right-hander hasn't pitched in over a week, but has posted a 3.95 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 27.1 relief innings for the Mets this season.
